From Model to Mechanic, Dennii Has Been Featured Everywhere from K&N to Formula 1

Dennii began modeling full-time when she moved to Las Vegas in 2013.

Nerd, model, and mechanic seem to be conflicting characteristics, but the distinct descriptions find a fusion in K&N model, Dennii. A blonde bombshell born in the Czech Republic, she moved to the states as an infant. Dennii grew up in Florida, aggressively pursuing academic achievement at Largo High School. She eventually landed the coveted spot of salutatorian in her graduating class. Involved in at least ten clubs, she served as president of student council and vice president of her class council.

With high achievements at Largo, Dennii aimed for no less when considering a college. Ready for a new adventure, she courageously moved far from home to attend Hawaii Pacific University in Oahu. Dennii recounts, “I moved to Hawaii actually on my own whim. I was one of maybe less than 20 people that moved to an out of state college to pursue college degrees. It was an amazing experience and chapter. I learned how to grow up like washing my own laundry and cooking.”

Keeping it in the family, Dennii has a cousin who led a successful modeling career in the 90's.

In Oahu, the Czech native began a degree in marine biology. She surfed the shores of Hawaii in her downtime, soaking up vitamin “sea.” Dennii eventually transferred to the University of South Florida in Tampa. Here, she finished her degree and graduated with honors. Never far from the water, she also acquired her scuba diving certification.

At the end of her college career, Dennii was as ambitious as ever. She would soon encounter two intersecting worlds: modeling and racing. A new hope blossomed, and an old wish was dusted off. Dennii shares, “It wasn’t until after college I started sparking an interest in cars, the whole motorsport industry in general.” Modeling, however, had long stuck in her mind. She confides, “I was very young when my mom sent me to the old modeling school called Barbizon. I learned so much there, and I wanted to continue on. Unfortunately, we weren’t financially equipped to pay for all the costs. So...I decided I will do this one day when it’s fitting.”

The 28 year old model enjoyed working with K&N on the 2017 Calendar shoot.

She soon discovered that cars and catwalks can coexist. In fact, Dennii found some of her most notable bookings in automotive-related advertisements: Gran Turismo, VORE Racing, GT Radial, Nissan, Exotics Racing, Loud Mouth Exhaust, and of course, K&N filters. Her favorite modeling memory is at a racing event. She recalls, “I was honorably chosen to work as one of the official umbrella grid girls for the 2016 Formula 1 Austin, Texas race. The whole experience was just remarkable. Standing there smiling, I was proud to hold the flag of my driver and watch the crew prep the cars for the race.” She also enjoyed, “learning the different techniques they used on those mean machines.”

Deeming it her bread and butter, Dennii is committed to her modeling career, but she is just as excited when discussing cars and racing. While gaining 50,000+ followers on Instagram, she has also become, “a hardcore car enthusiast and amateur driver.” A cool collection of beauty and brains, she professes, “I do actually work on cars when I have the opportunity to do so. I am still actively trying to practice drifting my new setup S13 that is ready to go.” In short, she loves it. A self-proclaimed nerd, Dennii quips, “Word to the wise, don’t be afraid to have a convo with me about cars.”

Ricky Stenhouse Jr Wins at Daytona International Speedway in the Coke Zero 400

Ricky Stenhouse Jr won his second race of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series this weekend, at Daytona International Speedway in the Coke Zero 400. This is Stenhouse’s second plate race of the season, dating back to the race at Talladega.

"I kept my Talladega car and told them to build a new one," said Stenhouse, who locked himself into the postseason playoff with his second victory of the season. "They built a Fifth Third Ford that was really fast...”

Stenhouse won the race during the overtime, after a wreck involving Jamie McMurray, Denny Hamlin, and Erik Jones causing a caution and a restart on Lap 162. After coming out to a two car length lead, David Ragan was passed by Stenhouse and eventually finished in 6th. Stenhouse led four times for total of 17 times and gained 5 playoff points and 40 points.

“Well, I feel like for me, we've had good finishes at speedways,” Stenhouse said. “I feel like we lucked into a few of them, but now that we're paying a lot of attention to every single part of our company, making sure that the speedway cars are good, the short tracks, the mile-and-a-halfs, we're really focused in on every aspect of the sport and trying to make sure that we're not leaving any stone unturned.”

Clint Bowyer finished in second place for the second straight race, coming from his second place finish at Sonoma a week ago. Bowyer led once for 4 laps.

“Look at the last two weeks, we've been second, runner up,” Bowyer on how the momentum of his finishes can extend into the playoffs. “Second sucks, but it's better than third. You know? We finished second two weeks in a row, so that's a huge confidence booster for our team, but nonetheless, the pressure cooker is turning up.”

Paul Menard finished in third and his first finish in the top-5 this season. He did not lead during the race.

This was Dale Earnhardt Jr’s last race at Daytona International Speedway, a place where he has won 14 times. Earnhardt was the polesitter for the race and had the highest scored lapped car of the race.

Kyle Larson continues to lead the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series standings with 667 points and 13 playoff points. Martin Truex Jr is in second place with 649 points and 21 playoff points. Kyle Busch is in third place with 559 points and 4 playoff points.

The next race will be the Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway.

Looking for a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Cold Air Intake? K&N Has You Covered

The 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 packs more punch than a 1980's action movie star

The 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 packs more punch than a 1980's action movie star

If you were to compare the current crop of nuclear-powered American muscle cars to action movie stars, the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 would be Jean Claud van Dam. Because it's slim, athletic, and packs a devastating jump spin kick. The Dodge Challenger SRT8 would of course be Steven Segal. Because its performance is pretty darn good considering the weight of its pony tail. And finally, the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 would be Chuck Norris. Because well, it could probably roundhouse kick the other two so hard, they'd travel back in time. This is thanks to the supercharged 6.2L LT4 V8 that dumps a staggering 650-hp and 650 lb-ft of torque onto the rear wheels. If you keep the right pedal in your Chevy Camaro ZL1 depressed, Chuck-the-car will be traveling a mile a minute in well under four seconds. Flat-out he can cover a maximum of 198 miles in a single hour! But if that's not enough for you, then get ready for the K&N 63-3099 AirCharger performance intake system. It uses the power of air and carbon fiber to deliver an estimated increase of 23.62 horsepower and 26.82 lb-ft of torque. No matter how you look at it, that's enough Delta Force, to leave the other two cars Missing in Action.

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Cold Air Intake - K&N 63-3099 AirCharger

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Cold Air Intake - K&N 63-3099 AirCharger

When you tromp the gas pedal on your 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, a massive 1.7L Eaton TVS supercharger can spin up to 20,000 rpm and shove air into the motor at a rate of 9.4 psi. That air gets consumed during the combustion cycle, which creates an explosion that forces the GM LT4 6.2L aluminum pistons downward, turning the crankshaft and ultimately the rear wheels. This energy is where the horsepower and torque in your Chevy Camaro ZL1 comes from, and the air plays a key role in this process. If you want to increase the horsepower, all you have to do is drop the temperature of the air, and increase the volume. Doing this will provide more oxygen molecules to be consumed during the combustion cycle, and that will result in a more powerful explosion (a.k.a. more power). However, the OE 2017 Camaro ZL1 intake system isn't designed for maximum efficiency, it's designed to meet cost, noise, and manufacturing targets among other things. Granted, making a car that performs like a Lamborghini, yet only costs as much as a well optioned SUV does require some sacrifices. And that's where the K&N 63-3099 AirCharger performance intake system comes into play.

Unlike the stock intake, this K&N Camaro ZL1 performance intake is designed to virtually eliminate airflow restrictions, and it has some very clever ways of doing this. To start, the stock air box is replaced by an oversized high-flow K&N performance air filter, which is surrounded by a special heat shield that self-seals to the underside of the hood to prevent warm engine air from entering the system. The low restriction cotton gauze filter material is designed to allow more air to flow through, while simultaneously removing more airborne contaminants. Thanks to the proprietary oil treatment, that dirt will stay locked inside a web of sticky cotton fibers for up to 100,000 miles (depending on driving conditions). It's also warrantied with the K&N 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty, so it could very well be the last air filter that you have to buy for this vehicle.

Once the air has been cleaned, it travels to that Camaro ZL1 6.2L through a lightweight carbon fiber intake tube, which even has integrated fittings for all of the factory sensors. Its been designed to straighten the air flow path, virtually eliminating heat build up due to air turbulence. All of this careful engineering allows a higher volume of cold air to reach the intercooler, so it can drop the temperature of the air charge even further. This results in more oxygen molecules being injected into the motor, and more power coming out of the rear wheels.

Jokes aside (we actually love all three of the aforementioned butt-kicking actors and the associated vehicles), this 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 performance intake by K&N can give you more horsepower, more torque, faster throttle response, longer air filter service life, and the engine will even sound better too.

The K&N 63-3099 is designed to fit the following vehicles:

Kevin Harvick Completes Sweep of Sonoma, Wins the Toyota/Save Mart 350

Kevin Harvick celebrating his win at the Toyota/Save Mart 350

Kevin Harvick stole the show this weekend at Sonoma Raceway, winning the K&N Pro Series West race and the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Toyota/Save Mart 350. This win comes as a first for Harvick this season, at Sonoma Raceway, and racing in a Ford Car.

"I’m so excited," Harvick said in Victory Lane. "I think, as you look at it, getting our first win with Ford, this has been a great journey for us as an organization and team. Kurt (Busch) (teammate) winning the Daytona 500, and we have run well.”

This win was Harvick’s 36th of his career, coming in his 590th start. Reaching the checkered flag under a caution, Harvick had an 8 second lead to stay somewhat comfortable. Harvick led twice for a total of 24 laps. He gained 40 points and 5 playoff points.

"It’s a great day. It finally all came together, and we were able to not have any cautions there at the end. Rodney had great strategy, and I was able to take care of the car and get out front. I felt like the 78 (Martin Truex Jr.) was the car we had to race, and then he had problems and from there we were in control."

Harvick’s Stewart-Haas teammate, Clint Bowyer, finished in second place for the second time this season. Bowyer did not lead during the race, but still managed to place high.

“Let's face it, yeah, we've got to win,” Bowyer said. “We need a win in a big way, and today would have been a great win, but after everything that happened, I mean, to get second place is, I guess, really good, as a matter of fact.”

Brad Keselowski finished in third place, with all drivers in the top three driving Ford cars, getting the sweep for the weekend. Keselowski led once for 17 laps.

“It was fun. We had a really fast Elite Support Freightliner Ford, and man, when you have a car that great, you just -- you really enjoy every moment of it, and today was a day I really enjoyed” Keselowski said. “I had the slip-up there and got into Clint and that really stank, but other than that, just an incredible race car, and really a pleasure to drive.”

Martin Truex Jr. won yet another stage, winning three of the past four in the last two races. Jimmie Johnson won the second stage.

Kyle Larson continues to lead the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Standings with 659 points and 13 playoff points, after coming in 26th place. Martin Truex Jr is in second place with 646 points and 21 playoff points. Kevin Harvick sits in third place with 548 points and 8 playoff points.

The next race in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will be the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway.

Jack Roush Gives 30 Years of Experience to Roush Fenway Racing

Racing great Jack Roush

Jack Roush is an automotive icon and head of Roush Fenway Racing

Jack Roush, founder of Roush Fenway Racing, has been a major player in the automotive industry long before he started the race team.

Born in Covington, Kentucky in 1942, Roush earned a mathematics degree and minored in physics at Berea College and a Master’s Degree in Scientific Mathematics from Eastern Michigan University.

Soon after graduating Berea College in 1964, he moved to Detroit and was hired by Ford Motor Company. By 1966 he had been drawn to the company’s motorsports activities and had joined a group of fellow racing fans called, “The Fastbacks.”

After leaving Ford in 1970, he partnered with Wayne Gapp and formed a team that raced Pro Stock racecars. It quickly gained national attention after the duo won several racing events and one championship each for major hot rod sanctioning groups including the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA), International Hot Rod Association (IHRA), and the American Hot Rod Association (AHRA).

Armed with a wealth of racing experience, he started Jack Roush Performance Engineering in 1976. Although he did not race during the late 1970s, he remained a part of the sport building engines for racing teams through the early 1980s.

He returned to racing in 1984 and competed in the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) and the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) road-racing series. He won 24 national championships and titles in the series including 12 manufacturer’s championships, and won 119 races while partnered with such acclaimed drivers as Tommy Kendall, Scott Pruett, and Willy T. Ribbs. He also won 10 consecutive sedan-class championships at the 24 Hours of Daytona, teaming with drivers Kendall, Pruett, Mark Martin, Bill Elliott, Ricky Rudd and Kyle Petty as well as actor Paul Newman and Olympic star Bruce Jenner.

In 1988, he partnered with driver Mark Martin and launched his first Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series team, which was then known as the NASCAR Winston Cup Series. In October 1989 the pair earned their first Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series victory at North Carolina Motor Speedway. Over time the partnership became one of the most successful in NASCAR history. The Martin-Roush team earned 35 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series victories.

In 2005, Roush joined Doug Yates and formed Roush Yates Engines. Based in Mooresville, North Carolina, the business manufactures engines for Roush Fenway Racing, Richard Petty Motorsports, and several other teams involved in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR XFINITY Series, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and ARCA Series.

In 2007, Roush Racing and Fenway Sports Group (FSG) formed Roush Fenway Racing.

Roush has won eight championships across NASCAR’s three premier series (2000 – Truck Series with Greg Biffie; 2002 – XFINITY Series with Greg Biffie; 2007 – XFINITY Series with Carl Edwards; 2011 XFINITY Series with Ricky Stenhouse Jr.; 2012 XFINITY Series with Ricky Stenhouse Jr.; 2015 XFINITY Series with Chris Buescher; 2003 – Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series with Matt Kenseth, and 2004 – Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series with Kurt Busch).

Roush won his first Daytona 500 and his 300th NASCAR victory in 2009. In 2010 Roush Fenway Racing turned its one-millionth mile in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. In 2012, Roush claimed his 300th NASCAR victory with his second win in the Daytona 500.

Located in Concord, North Carolina, Roush Fenway Racing employs about 250 people including four drivers –- Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Trevor Bayne, Ryan Reed, and Ty Majeski.

The team prides itself in developing its drivers from within. Stenhouse earned his experience racing in the Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) Series before he graduated to the XFINITY Series. Bayne drove for Roush Fenway in XFINITY events before moving over to the No. 6 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series program. Reed and Majeski are young drivers who are competing for the team in XFINITY events.

Stenhouse pilots the No. 17 Ford Fusion. Born in 1987 in Olive Branch, Mississippi, he now resides in Mooreville, North Carolina. He started racing go-karts at the tender age of 6 years old. By the time he was 15, he had 47 A-main karting victories and more than 90 podium finishes. He graduated into 360 winged sprint cars in 2003 and won the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Driver Poll and Dirt Winged Sprint Car Rookie of the Year. He was also tapped the Memphis (Tennessee) Motorsports Park Rookie of the Year.

Stenhouse started racing the USAC National Sprint Car Series in 2004. He had a breakout year in 2006 when he was the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Driver Poll Wild Card title winner in both the 360 and 410 winged sprint car divisions.

He won two of three races at the start of the 2007 racing season including the Copper on Dirt at Manzanita Speedway and both the USAC National Sprint Car and Silver Crown feature events.

He joined Tony Stewart Racing and raced for that team in the USAC National Sprint and Midget cars division. He won his second start in the USAC National Midget Car Series at Tri-State Speedway.

He won rookie of the year in both the USAC Midget and Sprint car divisions in 2007.

Stenhouse joined Roush Fenway Racing in 2007. In his first season in the ARCA Series in 2008, he posted two wins, three poles, 10 top five and 14 top-10 finishes in 21 starts. He led the point standings for 13 weeks, before a late-race accident in the season finale ended his title hopes.

In 2009, Stenhouse moved into the NXS and recorded his first career pole at Iowa Speedway and achieved one top-five and two top-10 finishes in seven races.

In 2010, he was named the NXS Rookie of the Year. He won the title after coming back from the largest point deficit in the award’s history. In 32 NXS starts that year, he recorded three top-five and eight top-10 finishes, and finished outside the top-15 five times in his final 18 races. He won back-to-back NASCAR XFINITY Series championships in 2011 and 2012.

Stenhouse is a golf and basketball fan and likes to work out. He also is a fan of country music.

Born in 1991 in Knoxville, Tennessee and now residing in Mt. Holly, North Carolina, Trevor Bayne started racing go-karts when he was 5 years old. In the eight years he competed in the go-kart circuit he achieved three World Championships, and collected more than 300 feature wins and 18 State and Track Championships.

He graduated to the Allison Legacy Race Series when he was 13 years old and quickly became the youngest top rookie of the series. In a two-year period racing in the series he garnered 14 wins, 19 pole positions and 30 top-five finishes in 41 starts. He won the series National Championship in 2005.

In 2007, when he was just 15 years old, Bayne moved on to compete in the USAR Hooters Pro Cup Series Southern Division.

His career took a fortunate turn in 2008 when he joined Dale Earnhardt Inc.’s driver development program. That year he started competing in the NASCAR Camping World East Series and collected his first series win at the Thompson (Connecticut) International Speedway. In that year he recorded six top-five and seven top-10 finishes and finished in fourth in the NASCAR Camping World East point standings.

Bayne began the 2009-racing season finishing second in the Toyota All-Star Showdown at Irwindale Speedway. Due to this achievement, he won Sunoco Rookie of the Race honors. He debuted in the NXS that year at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway, where he finished 23rd driving Jimmy Mean’s No. 52 car. He joined Michael Waltrip Racing as a part-time driver in 2009 racing the No. 99 car. His first race behind the wheel he captured the outside pole at Nashville Super Speedway. In 15 contests he earned one pole and two top-10s and finished inside the top 15 seven times.

He joined Roush Fenway Racing in October 2010 and competed in seven NXS races.

On February 20, 2011 when he was just 20 years old Bayne became the youngest winner in the history of the Daytona 500. The win was achieved in only his second career Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series start. He went on to win his first career NASCAR XFINITY Series event in Texas and garnered 14 top-10 and five top-five finishes in 29 NXS starts that year.

He continued racing in the NXS until the end of the 2014 season and then began competing in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series fulltime in 2015 driving the No.6 AdvoCare Ford Fusion.

In 2016, Bayne earned two top-five and five top-10 finishes and finished third at the Daytona International Speedway.

2017 marks Bayne’s third fulltime season in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.

When not racing, his activities include biking, wakeboarding and snowboarding. He is also involved with Back2Back Ministries’ orphanages in Monterrey, Mexico.

Born in 1993 in Bakersfield, California and now residing in Davidson, North Carolina, Ryan Reed’s racing career began when he was 4 years old when he won the Kid’s Kart Championship. By the time he was 8 years old he was the Junior 1 Comer and HPV Karting Track Champion.

In 2009 he was the Legends Division Track Champion at Toyota Speedway at Irwindale and was named Rookie of the Year in the Super Late Model Division in 2010. He was the youngest winner at the Toyota Speedway in the Super Late Model Division.

In 2010 he moved from California to North Carolina to get more involved in racing and in 2011 he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. He was told that he would never race again.

Determined to fight back, he returned to California and found Dr. Anne Peters of the University of Southern California’s Clinical Diabetes Program, who treated Reed and made it possible for him to return to racing. He made essential life style changes that included a strict diet and exercise, the use of devices that provided on track data, and reported to his team of doctors in California.

He returned to racing that year and competed in three races of the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East.

In 2012 he competed in 14 ARCA races and recorded one top-five and six top-10 finishes. He also raced in one event of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.

Reed joined Roush Fenway Racing in 2013. That year he competed in six events in the NASCAR XFINITY Series. He finished in the top-10 in most of his races. His best finish was fourth at Daytona International Speedway.

In October 2013, Roush Fenway Racing announced a partnership with the American Diabetes Association’s Drive to Stop Diabetes and Lilly Diabetes and Reed competed full time in the NASCAR XFINITY Series in 2014.

Reed started the 2015 racing season with a win at Daytona. It was his first career win and the first win for Roush Fenway Racing in the XFINITY Series at Daytona.

In 2016 Reed participated in the inaugural NXS Chase. Although he did not quite make it to the final round, he did finish sixth in the driver point standings due to seven top-10 finishes.

Ty Majeski is a new addition to Roush Fenway Racing and debuted for the team in June.

A spokesperson for Roush Fenway noted that driver lineups change from year to year for a variety of reasons. The team has had 52 different drivers compete in NASCAR and 19 of them have won events for Roush Fenway. Eleven of the 19 won their first race for the team and nine of the drivers have won a Cup race. Eight of them were new winners.

Roush Fenway does a number of things to prepare for a race that includes the drivers, pit crews and race teams.

For example, the drivers spend time in simulators, watch film of previous races, and work out to maintain optimal physical stamina. The pit crews practice on an average of two or three times a week and work out three days a week in the gym.

The team’s personnel also prepare the cars during the week following instructions from the Research and Development Department and team engineers.

The spokesperson for Roush Fenway explained that it generally takes 30 to 45 days to prepare a car from the ground up.

“This includes building the chassis, fabricating and handing the body, time in the paint and body shop and final set up plate as the car is prepared to go to the track,” he said. “Each team takes two race cars to the track each week –- a primary and a backup.”

So far this season, Roush Fenway has competed in more than 55 races. It has won one race, finished in the top 5 in five races, finished in the top 10 in 19 races and has logged more than 12,994 laps and 17,560.5 miles.
