“K&N is shifting priorities around to make things happen for Roush Fenway Racing and Travis Kvapil,” said Charles Maier, Sports Marketing Director of K&N Engineering. “We see this opportunity to continue our sponsorship for another three races as a fantastic thing for K&N and Roush Fenway. They need a great sponsor and we want to build a great relationship with a top team in the world of NASCAR.”

K&N sponsored the No. 6 at Daytona International Speedway in February. Kvapil led most of the laps on route to a third place finish on February 16. The following week K&N also sponsored Kvapil at California Speedway.

“We’re really happy that K&N has come on board with us for the next three races,” Kvapil said. “We nearly won Daytona, and we’d like to think we can make it up to them by pulling off a win in one of the next three races. Atlanta is a really fun racetrack. Next to Daytona, it’s one of the most fun racetracks we go to. You can run anywhere, up to the wall or down around the bottom of the track. It really makes for an exciting race.”

Kvapil currently is seventh in NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series points, 65 points behind leader Jack Sprague.

K&N Engineering has developed a replacement Air Filter (AL-4506) for the 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 Aprilia 450 and 550.

The K&N Replacement Air Filter is custom designed to fit into the air box lid. "There is a baffle in the OE air box," said K&N Powersports Application Coordinator Lisa Watson. "The filter comes with special installation instructions to ensure a proper seal is made with the baffle in place."

The grooves on the outside perimeter of this K&N Air Filter allow clearance for the stock screws. This makes tightening the lid to the air box base easy.

K&N Air Filters are washable and reusable and are ideal for extended use in dirty off-road conditions. AL-4506 offers your motorcycle the air it needs for optimum horsepower.
