Austin Hill drove his A&D Welding/Don Rich Ford race car to a decisive victory 1.023 seconds ahead of second place in the Kevin Whitaker Chevrolet 140 race in Greenville, South Carolina

Austin Hill number 22, Cameron Hayley number 98, and Gray Gaulding in the number 20 Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Chevrolet represent the top three finishers at Greenville Pickens Speedway

Ben Rhodes came into the Kevin Whitaker Chevrolet 140 race at Greenville Pickens Speedway knowing he must finish at least thirteenth in order to secure his first ever NASCAR K&N Pro Series East championship. Rhodes had the fastest car in qualifying; winning his sixth 21 Means 21 Pole Award presented ty Coors Light, and started the race from the pole position.

With so much pressure riding on this race, Rhodes anticipated the start and was consequently black flagged for jumping the race’s initial start. NASCAR officials instructed Rhodes to serve a pass through penalty. Luckily Rhodes was able to stay on the lead lap and would spend the remainder of the race working his way back toward the front of the pack. Rhodes would finish the Kevin Whitaker Chevrolet 140 well ahead of thirteenth place with a solid fourth place finish. “I put myself in a really bad position early on, made a mistake and went to the back, and had to focus a little big on points racing and get myself up there,” said Rhodes.

Austin Hill, a NASCAR Next driver, celebrates his first NASCAR K&N Pro Series East win of the 2014 season at Greenville Pickens Speedway giving Hill two NKNPSE career victories

NASCAR Next Driver Austin Hill earned his first NASCAR K&N Pro Series East victory of the 2014 season and the second win of his career. Hill led 58 laps in the number 22 A&D Welding/Don Rich Ford car and did all he could to make it out front. Austin Hill, who qualified fifth, was running in third at the 70 lap halfway break point. “I told the guys, this 20 (Gaulding) and this 98 (Hayley) have a real good Hot Rod. They’re able to get off the corner a lot better than I am, and they’re beating me down the straighaway,” said Hill. During that break point the A&D Welding/Don Rich Ford crew made some adjustments to the number 22 car. “During that that halfway break, I came in and said, ‘guys we’re going to have to take a real big swing at it if we’re going to have a shot at winning.’ And they did. They had a really big swing at it, and once they did I took off,” recalled Hill.

Austin Hill powered to the lead on lap 83 but a caution on lap 124 bunched the field again. “When we had that caution, I was a little bit worried,” said Hill. Hill managed to pull away on the restart beating second place finisher Cameron Hayley to the checkers by 1.023 seconds. Afterward Hill said “When we went back to green, and I saw (Hayley) getting smaller and smaller in my window, I knew we had a really good car.” Cameron Hayley brought the number 98 Cabinets by Hayley Chevrolet across the line in second place and Gray Gaulding drove the Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Chevrolet home to round out the podium finishers.

Ben Rhodes has clinched the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East championship with an overwhelming points lead over Cameron Hayley. Hayley leads Brandon Jones by just twenty points. Jones is just two points ahead of Gray Gaulding who is only four points ahead of Jesse Little. While Rhodes may have clenched the championship, second and third places could still be decided in the season finale NASCAR K&N Pro Series East race at the famous Dover International Speedway.

It would probably surprise a lot of people to read that Japan’s first full-size pickup truck, the Toyota Tundra, is actually built in the United States. The same applies to Toyota’s full-size SUV offering, the Toyota Sequoia. When the Tundra was released in 2000, it signaled another first for Toyota, which was offering a V8 engine in a truck. The Toyota Tundra, and Tundra-based Sequoia, has become exceedingly popular with consumers needing a full-sized truck keeping vehicle sales at or near production capacity.

The replacement K&N air filter, number 33-5017, will fit the stock air filter box of 2014-2016 Toyota Tundra and Sequoia models equipped with either the 5.7L or 4.6L V8 engine

The 2014 model year Tundra and Sequoia received a facelift and other changes while carrying over previous engine options. The changes my appear skin deep, however K&N engineers had to design a K&N washable air filter to fit the redesigned stock air filter box of 2014-216 Toyota Tundra andToyota Sequoia models with a 4.6L or 5.7L V8 engine.

K&N has built a world renowned reputation with its reusable air filter technology. However, that same high-flow cotton filtration technology means that a K&N air filter provides less restriction than typical paper air filters. Reducing restriction can increase the efficiency of the combustion process. Allowing an engine to breathe easier can help a car or truck by freeing up horsepower and improving acceleration. Better acceleration and more power can come in handy while entering the highway, towing, and even during city driving. The simple drop in design makes a replacement K&N air filter an easy performance air filter upgrade.

Some might be worried that an increase in airflow comes at the expense of filtration efficiency and engine protection. K&N performs filtration efficiency testing following the internationally recognized ISO 5011 protocol to guarantee that our air filters will provide high airflow without sacrificing engine protection. K&N makes this testing available on our website to help dispel the myth that a K&N air filter could allow engine damage.

K&N stock replacement air filters for street vehicles are covered by our famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty® and will be the last air filter your truck or SUV will need. Replacement K&N air filter 33-5017 is designed to fit the stock air filter box without modification in the following Toyota Tundra and Toyota Sequoia models:

2014 Toyota Sequoia 5.7L V8 F/I

Made from cotton instead of paper, this air filter never needs to be replaced. 33-5017 will require cleaning every 50,000 miles under normal highway driving conditions. A K&N air filter can be considered the best car air filter for 2014-2016 Toyota Tundra and Toyota Sequoia models with a 4.6L or 5.7L V8 engine. Since part number 33-5017 never needs to be replaced, over time it will pay for itself and because it can typically go 50,000 miles without service, it will also save time.

Greg Pursley started the Bakersfield 150 presented by GPS NASCAR K&N Pro Series West race from the pole position and led 128 of 150 laps at Kern County Raceway Park

Bakersfield, California, located halfway between Los Angeles, Calfiornia and Fresno, California, is situated at the southern end of California’s rural San Jaoquin Valley. While the area is suitable for growing a wide variety of crops it is still considered a desert climate and triple digit temperatures are the norm during summer months. Despite the heat, NASCAR K&N Pro Series West teams and fans packed the state-of-the-art facility at Kern County Raceway Park.

Jesse Little took the lead in the number 97 NASCAR Technical Institute Chevrolet on lap 82 putting a one second gap on the field until a restart brought the pack together again

Several NASCAR K&N Pro Series West drivers had high expectations heading into the 11th race of the 2014 West Series season at Kern County Raceway Park in Bakersfield, California. Greg Pursley, who drives the number 26 Gene Price Motorsports Chevrolet, was the only NASCAR K&N Pro Series West driver to have won at KCRP with two wins to his name. Construction of Kern County Raceway Park was completed just last year. David Mayhew, fresh off his NKNPSW win in Monroe Washington, also felt confident coming into this race. Mayhew is a Bakersfield resident and has 20 feature event wins at KCRP in various racing classes. Jesse Little, son of former NASCAR Cup Series driver Chad Little, normally competes in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East series but made the trip to Bakersfield, California because he enjoys the track and had a top-five finish at the Kern County race in May.

A caution on lap 148 of the Bakersfield 150 presented by GPS forced a restart where Greg Pursley would receive a black flag sending him back to ninth and giving Dylan Lupton the win

High day-time temperatures meant track conditions would change when the sun set behind the grandstands at Kern County Raceway Park. Teams and drivers anticipated the track to change and attempted to set up their cars accordingly. Heading into qualifying Greg Pursley, who has won twice at Kern County Raceway Park, said “We’re running the same set up as the last Bakersfield race in May.” Whatever the Gene Price Motorsports team did to their car in May worked again, as Greg Pursley would come out of qualifying with the fastest lap time of 18.255 seconds. David Mayhew, who knows this track like the back of his hand qualified third behind Brandon McReynolds. Mayhew said “We fixed our brakes before qualifying. I wasn’t used to how well the car stopped. This hurt us a little.”

There was a mandatory pit stop scheduled for the halfway point of the Bakersfield 150 presented by GPS. Crew members could add fuel and make adjustments, but could not install fresh tires. This meant that tire conservation during the entire 150 laps of the half-mile oval would play a role in deciding the race winner. Greg Pursley, in the # 26 GPM Chevy, knew this and planned to keep an eye on the other drivers watching how hard they would drive. Pursley has fifteen years of auto racing experience following a transition from motorcycle racing and is a veteran driver when compared to the younger drivers of the NKNPSW series.

Pursley’s experience would help him dominate the Bakersfield 150 presented by GPS leading 128 of 150 laps. Pursley briefly surrendered the lead to Jesse Little on lap 82, only to regain it again after a restart on lap 108. Little said “I felt like I just pushed too hard after I took the lead from Greg. You could tell that he’s the veteran and just saved his stuff more.” Little faded back a few positions as drivers like Dylan Lupton, who started ninth, worked their way toward the front. Lupton found his way into second and was gaining on Pursley cutting his lead from two seconds down to just half of a second.

On lap 148 Greg Pursley expected to come around the front straight to see a white flag signaling the final lap but a yellow caution flag was waived instead. This fateful caution meant the final lap came and went under yellow with a green and white checker two lap shootout to decide the race. The restart must have been nerve racking for race leader Greg Pursley. He took off before the restart point and was subsequently black flagged for a restart violation. This handed the Bakersfield 150 presented by GPS victory to Dylan Lupton in the number 9 Sunrise Ford. Lupton described that final restart by saying “There’s a restart point and it looked like Pursley jumped it by about a car-and-a-half or two car lengths early. That gave us the win right there, but, I think if we would have battled, we could have also contended for the win.” The penalty dropped Pursley to ninth place.

Brandon McReynolds was a mere .269 seconds behind Dylan Lupton at the line and Jesse Little would bring it in for a solid third place finish. Lupton’s Sunrise Ford teammate James Bickford came in fourth and Thomas Martin drove the MedActive Chevrolet across the line in fifth place. The number 17 MMI Services Chevrolet driven by David Mayhew suffered power-steering problems during the race. The team was forced to pit and cut the power steering belt to maintain steering consistency. This put Mayhew down a lap and he finished in tenth place.

Greg Pursley continues to lead the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West championship points with Dylan Lupton only fifteen points behind. Brandon McReynolds is in third trailing Lupton by just eleven points. With the points standings this close the lead can still change in the three races remaining in the 2014 season. The next race will be at Miller Motorsports Park for the Utah Grand Prix road course race.

The replacement K&N air filter, number E-0665, will fit the stock air filter box of 2014-2016 Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray Models With 6.2-liter V8 Engine

Chevrolet introduced the Corvette in 1953 and turned the American automobile market upside down. Few people could have guessed how much the Corvette would impact cars and drivers for generations to come. Now in its seventh generation of production, also referred to as C7, the Chevrolet Corvette incorporates cutting edge technology such as the all-new 6.2-Liter V8 engine. Chevrolet boasts 460 horsepower, a zero to sixty mph time of just 3.8 seconds, all while averaging an EPA estimated 29 highway miles per gallon. Despite leading the industry in performance, the 2014, 2015 and 2016 Corvette is equipped with a rather low-tech disposable air filter inside the air filter box. Here to inject some high-flow technology into the 2014-2016 Chevy Corvette air filter box is the new K&N high-flow stock replacement air filter number E-0665.

Chris, the proud owner of this 2014 Chevy C7 Corvette Stingray in Laguna Blue, can rest assured knowing his K&N air filter will provide a lifetime of performance and engine protection

K&N high-flow replacement air filters are made with cotton instead of paper. K&N’s high-flow cotton gauze air filters provide less restriction than typical paper air filters, which can increase the efficiency of the combustion process. Allowing your engine to breathe easier can give your car extra horsepower and extra acceleration that can come in handy, even during every day driving. Performance filter E-0665 is designed as an air filter cross reference to the stock paper filter which makes a K&N replacement air filter an easy to install performance upgrade.

Some might be worried that an increase in airflow comes at the expense of filtration efficiency and engine protection. K&N performs filtration efficiency testing following the internationally recognized ISO 5011 protocol to guarantee that our air filters will provide high airflow without sacrificing engine protection. When tested using ISO Coarse test dust, part number E-0665, for the 2014, 2015 and 2016 Corvette was shown to have a 98.46% overall efficiency rating. Calling this test dust coarse is almost preposterous, as 22% of the dust is rated at 10 microns or less. To provide perspective, a human blood cell is typically between 6 and 8 microns across.

K&N air filter, number E-0665, is designed as an air filter cross reference for the stock disposable air filter and will fit inside the air filter box of the 2014-2016 Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray

Another benefit to making a K&N air filter from cotton instead of paper is the ability to wash and reuse the filter meaning it never needs to be replaced. Part number, E-0665, will require cleaning every 50,000 miles under normal highway driving conditions. Cleaning a K&N air filter is a simple four-step process using one of the K&N Recharger air filter service kit 99-5000, includes 12 fluid ounces of air filter cleaner and a 6.5 ounce aerosol bottle of air filter oil for quick and easy application. K&N Recharger air filter service kit 99-5050, differs in that it includes an 8 ounce squeeze bottle of K&N filter oil for a more precise application.

K&N air filters for Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray with a 6.2-liter V8 engine offer a lifetime of performance. Since part number E-0665 never needs to be replaced, over time it will pay for itself and help reduce waste.
