The Despain Motorsports crew did not stop with their latest round of victories. The next night they made a stop at Richmond Raceway in Kentucky. They
ran the No. 75 Lucas Oil Products sponsored Bandit Race Car with K&N products in the Modified portion of the Bob Dirt Car Series’ 22nd Annual Paul Wooldridge Memorial Race.
Despain qualified with the sixth fastest time and finished fourth in his heat race. He started at 8th for the 20-lap Modified feature event. At the end of the race, he was third.
Despain Motorsports now has top-five finishes in six out of their last eight races, including two wins and two runner-ups.
“Elliott has been racing since he was only 4-years-old,” said Billy Despain, Elliott’s father. “We would drive 450 miles
round trip from our home in Kentucky to a race track in Tennessee when he first started racing Karts. I use to race but Elliott really got the racing gene. He loves it. I just work on the cars.”
The 20-year-old Campbellsville, Kentucky resident will next race at the 9th Annual Bluegrass Rumble in Bardstown, Kentucky.
“We could not win the way we do without K&N,” said Despain. “K&N gives us extra power and keeps the dirt out of our engines. K&N is a big part of Despain Motorsports. We have K&N on all of our vehicles on and off the track.”

Mitchell hopes to win the 8 race series. “Out of six so far, I’ve had one win and two quarter final finishes,” he said. “It’s still really close and anyone’s game.”
The Los Angeles City firefighter is a second generation racer. “I grew up watching my dad in the NHRA on the west coast,” he said. “I have two kids now and maybe they’ll get into racing too.”

I also put a K&N hood scoop on by Cavalier and noticed more power. It also helped with my visibility on the track. K&N is a tested and proven product.”

Russell Morseman is on fire. He races Street stock in the Morgan’s Auto Repair Street Stock Series at Woodhull Raceway in Woodhull, New York.
Addison, New York resident Russell Morseman is leading the points in the Morgan's Auto Repair Series

Winner's Circle for Street Stock Racer Russell Morseman at Woodhull Raceway in New York
Street Stock racer said he only uses K&N because he can count on its performance and protection on and off the track
“I came up through traffic and was in third place with only 5 laps to go,” he said. “I passed the second place car with only two laps to go and was up against the leader.” Morseman thought the leader would send him up the track so he broke away early. The leader went into the corner too hard and passed Morseman. “I crossed over and beat him at the line by about three feet,” said the K&N sponsored driver. “It was an awesome win. I extended by point lead and now have four heat wins and four feature wins.”
Morseman said he likes racing on the 3/8 mile high banked dirt oval at Woodhull Raceway. “There is nothing better than going into the corner side by side with another competitor,” he said. “We’re about one foot away from each other and our cars are running hard but we’re not touching each other at all.”
Morseman said he got hooked on racing because his father raced in dirt modified and street stock. “I used to hang out in the shop with my dad and by the time I was 14-years-old I was doing a lot of work including setting up our modified car every week,” said Morseman. “After college I went back into racing and started in the Street Stock Class.”
The 26-year-old Addison, New York resident uses K&N air and oil filters. “K&N products are not only on my race car but are on everything I own from my 4-wheeler to my race car hauler,” said Morseman. “K&N is the ultimate product for performance and protection and K&N has helped put me in the Winner’s Circle over and over.”
Morseman said his goals are to win the track championship in 2009, run in a dirt modified series and switch to asphalt and run in the Busch East Series.
“I plan to only use K&N filters,” said Morseman. “I love the oil filters because of the welded nut. It makes installation and removal a snap. It’s also nice knowing once you put a K&N product on your vehicle, you’re putting on the best part available along with peace of mind.”
