Kvapil enters Homestead third in NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series points,
seven markers ahead of Todd Bodine. The No. 6 K&N Filters team will bring

where Kvapil started third and finished sixth.

The Roush Fenway Racer caught a lucky break when the third caution of
the event flew at lap75.
“Homestead is a really great track,” said Kvapil. “They reconfigured it a few
years back. It’s a special place to me because I clinched the truck series
championship back in 2003. You can run three and four wide, there’s so much room
to move around. It’s probably one of the best tracks as far as putting on a show
for the fans.”
In 24 starts this season, Kvapil has four wins at Michigan, Memphis, Nashville
and Las Vegas. He also has eight top-five and 12 top-ten finishes.
“We’ve really had a tough end of the season,” said crew chief Mike Beam. “This
is our last race with Travis and we’d like to end our relationship on a positive
note. It would be great to win this time around.”

The Alfa Romeo 147 is a small family car produced by Italian automaker Alfa
Romeo since 2000. It was voted European car of the year in 2001.
Air Filter for Alfa Romeo 147
K&N Engineering has designed a performance air intake system (69-0500TWR) in
wrinkle red for the Alfa Romeo 147 1.6 liter engine. See applications list
below.
Air Filter Installed in Alfa Romeo 147
"The two piece kit is a cold air intake which can be used in either the
long or short version," said K&N Filters Product Development Technician Patrick
Jacobs. "The 147 is popular in the southern parts of Europe where the weather is
a bit better than the rest of Europe. In bad weather the K&N air intake system can be converted into a short ram. When it is set up in the complete cold air
intake mode the air filter (RU-4950) is protected from road water
with the
K&N air filter wrap."
The large conical K&N air filter is positioned away from the engine and
designed to provide increased surface area and dust capacity. K&N Engineering's
air intake design has lower restriction than the factory air box system
resulting in additional power while providing excellent air filtration.
The free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum tube is engineered to the specific
vehicle design. The
69-0500TWR is designed to add engine performance and is
easy to install, usually in 90 minutes or less. K&N high flow air intake systems
come with the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.
The Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms, California hosted
a USMC Safety Stand Down. More than 5,000 military personnel and civilians
attended the desert event.
More than 5,000 attended the event
Several grandstands filled up to watch the stunt bike culture
Motorcycle safety was the theme of the day. “It is one of the hottest
issues right now in the Marine Corps,” said Master Sergeant Brian Richardson.
“We wanted to educate the troops, entertain them and have experts available from
places like K&N Filters who can talk to them about products.”

SPEED-TV filmed the event
K&N had a booth open from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. to promote its products and give
support to the troops. “Most of the Marines who were there knew all about K&N
filters and air intake systems,” said Lisa Watson, of K&N Engineering. “They
came in waves to our booth all day long. Most already have K&N products on their
vehicles. The few that didn’t have K&N were told by their buddy’s it’s the first
vehicle upgrade they should get because of the additional horsepower and
filtration.”
SPEED-TV and motorcycle stunt riders joined the enthusiasts for the day. The
road to Victory Field was shut down so the crowd could watch the show. Several
grandstands were filled to see stunt bike riders in action and to pass on a
message to wear safety gear while riding. The event will be televised on the
Super Bikes show sometime in 2008.
Richardson rides a Screaming Eagle Harley Davidson, drives a Ford F-350 Super Duty and
a 1985 Ford Mustang GT. “All my vehicles are equipped with K&N products,” he
said. “I live out here in the desert and K&N protects all my engines from the
sand and dust.”
The event was very successful, said Richardson. "We met our goal to make this
safety stand down interesting, fun and informative," he said. "Next year it will
expand and become an annual event."
Two K&N Engineering sportsman racers, Dan Fletcher and Shawn Langdon, were
crowned as champions at the final race of the 2007 season at the NHRA POWERade
Triple-A World Finals at Pomona, California.

Super Stock racer Dan Fletcher also won his 50th NHRA national event at
Pomona. This was his third NHRA National Event win in a row. He won at Richmond,
Virginia and Las Vegas, Nevada prior to Pomona.
Dan Fletcher hits fiftieth win
Fletcher won the war in Super Stock at Pomona driving his Chevrolet Camaro,
beating Michael Iacono in the final round. Fletcher now has 32 wins in Super
Stock, sixteen wins in Stock and a pair in Super Gas using K&N Engineering
products. He uses K&N oil filter (HP-3002) on his Camaro. “The nut on the bottom
of K&N Oil Filters is an ingenious invention,” said Fletcher. “They are very
easy to change. Thanks to K&N oil filters my engines have outlasted,
outperformed, and stayed clean.”
“Dan’s total number of wins in both Super Stock and Stock are the best in the
history of the sport,” said K&N Engineering’s Bob Harris. “It’s a very exclusive
club. It’s difficult to win one national event your whole racing career let
alone fifty. I’ve been racing since 1989 and have been lucky enough to win four.
I’ve raced with guys for 30 years who have never won a NHRA event.” There are
only a dozen drivers who have won fifty or more races.
Shawn Langdon won the Super Comp championship in 2007. Langdon uses K&N
Engineering products and beat Gary Stinnett in the final round at Pomona.
Langdon also drove in the Top Dragster and Lucas Oil alcohol dragster classes over the
2007 season.
Fletcher and Langdon will be back in January for the NHRA Winternationals.
