Cummings started the weekend by qualifying on the pole despite bad weather. He took his car to the final round berth before falling to champion Dan Fletcher in Super Stock. Both men shared the podium at the end.

Both Sportsman class racers are sponsored by K&N Engineering and use K&N Products. “Our K&N Oil and Air Filters are very dependable,” said Cummings. “K&N keeps the debris out of our engines.”

Super Stock winner Fletcher also uses K&N Oil Filters. “The nut on the bottom of K&N Oil Filters is an ingenious invention,” he said. “They are very easy to change. Thanks to K&N Oil Filters my engines have outlasted and outperformed and stayed clean.”

Despite coming in second Cummings said he could not be happier with his new car. “I feel like we’ve always had nice stuff,” said Cummings. “But this is by far the nicest race car I’ve ever driven.”

In addition to his success in Super Stock, the entire Moser Engineering team was in competition at Texas. Slate Cumming’s brother Britt drove to a third round finish in both Stock and Quick Rod while family patriarch Larry also competed in both Stock and Super Stock

K&N Filters Monte Carlo in the Spotlight at O'Reilly NHRA Spring Nationals

Mar 28, 2007

Jeff Arend is preparing to drive his special-edition K&N Filters Monte Carlo at the O’Reilly NHRA Spring Nationals in Houston this weekend. Arend drove the K&N Filters Chevy on March 18th at the AC Delco Gatornationals at Gainesville Raceway.

K&N Filters Monte Carlo

“I’m glad we have another opportunity to run the K&N car this weekend,” said Arend. “It’s a beautiful race car, and the people at K&N have been fantastic supporters. There’s one good way to say ‘Thank You” to the company whose name is all over the car, and that’s to win rounds and get them on television a lot. That’s our plan. Everyone on this team is focused, motivated and ready to represent our sport to the best of our ability.”

Arend has a resume with 12 years in the Nitro Funny car class. He is Del Worhsam’s teammate in the Checker, Schuck’s Kragen blue car. “I’ve spent the majority of my life racing on the drag strip, and a big hunk of my adult life driving Funny Cars so this is absolutely where I’m meant to be,” said Arend. “This is what we do and we’re lucky to do it.”

For Arend to deliver, he’ll have to put his K&N Filters Monte Carlo deep into the Houston race field. He’ll also have to win rounds, just as he did at Pomona.

“I take great pride in my skills, and I work on them all the time,” he said. “As the driver, I’m not there to make the tuning calls, although I do also pride myself on being able to give solid and informative feedback to my crew. But once we’re at the line, it’s my job to get the car to the other end and to keep it straight. On Sunday I have to focus on leaving first. With this team, and all of our abilities, we always have a good chance to win.”
