While most teenagers use their summer vacations as a much-needed break from the hectic school year, 12-year-old Kyle Denmyer of Joppa, Maryland, chooses to spend his summer days and nights preparing for his next kart race. Going into his seventh season of racing, Kyle currently races in the Junior Restricted class. His kart of choice is a Phantom Icon chassis powered by a Briggs and Stratton engine using K&N Filters.
12-year-old Kyle Denmyer of Joppa, Maryland
"K&N Air Filters are the best out there and they keep my engine running at top performance," says Kyle. "They keep the dirt out of my engine and they give me the most horsepower."
Kyle has been racing karts since he was five years old and his passion for the sport only grows with every race.
The 2008 year was a busy one for Kyle and the rest of the Denmyer Racing team, which consisted of 37 events. He finished off the season as the winner of the Burris Money Series BS500 Champion. He also competed in the Pennsylvania Dirt Karting Series, where he finished third in points for the light class and fourth for the heavy class. Kyle's record consists of ten feature wins, nine second place finishes, eight third place finishes, seven fourth place finishes, one fifth place finish, and two top ten finishes. Kyle and his team are also featured in this month's copy of Chase'n Race'n Illustrated.
In his pit, one can find Kyle's hardworking team, who just so happen to be his parents, Roger and Tammy Denmyer. Kyle has been racing karts since he was five years old and his passion for the sport only grows with every race. "My future goal is to be a part of 410 sprint car racing and to run with The World of Outlaws," says Kyle. "In five years I hope to be in a micro sprint car."
This weekend Denmyer Racing heads back to Hunterstown Speedway in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania to compete in the Burris Money Series. Find K&N products for your kart or any other vehicle at KNFilters.com. Use the K&N dealer search to find a K&N dealer in your part of the world.
X Games Rally driver Andrew Comrie-Picard will throw the ceremonial first pitch for the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball game against the Houston Astros Sunday, July 19 at Dodger Stadium.
Team ACP's spectacular end over end flip at X-Games 14
Comrie-Picard is in Los Angeles, California preparing for ESPN’s X Games 15. “A spectacular end-over-end flip over the 70-foot gap jump at the X-Games 14 has made Andrew a fan favorite at the contest,” said Jen Horsey of Team ACP. “He is also favored to win a medal this year.”

Rally Car Driver Andrew Comrie-Picard will sign autographs at Dodger Stadium before he throws the first pitch in the Dodgers Astros Game
Comrie-Picard has been among the dozen invited drivers at the X Games every year since the rally discipline was introduced to the contest. Rally car racing is considered the extreme sport of automobile racing. It is an all season motorsport where drivers and their co-drivers take modified road cars to the limit as they achieve high speeds over courses that cover hundreds of miles of gravel, dirt or snow-covered roads.
Team ACP Rally uses K&N products. “I’ve used K&N since I began Rally racing more than a decade ago,” said Comrie-Picard. “We do the most extreme things we can do in a car and K&N is the perfect formula for our turbo charged motors. There is no compromise with K&N which protects our engines from road debris.”
“Rally drivers are some of the most versatile competitors in the world and I sure hope I can handle a baseball,” said Comrie-Picard. “I’ve been trying to throw wads of duct tape through an open window, without varying degrees of success.”
Comrie-Picard’s NOS Energy Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution rally car will be on display in Autograph Alley before the baseball game, and Comrie-Picard will be available to talk to fans and sign autographs.
The X Games Rally Car race runs August 2, starting at noon PST and will be broadcast live on ESPN and ABC.
Brian Bubash stands out in the world of urban sport bike riders. The 25-year-old is sixth overall in the 2009 XDL Sportbike
Freestyle Championship Series sponsored by K&N.
Brian Bubash will next compete with his 2004 Kawasaki ZX-6R in the XDL Series at Toyota Speedway in Irwindale, California
The XDL Series started in 2005. Events are held in cities, usually on a downtown street. The series riders compete at Moto Grand Prix in Indy and in front of the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California among other places.
The top 15 XDL Sportbike Freestyle Championship riders are expected to compete in the X-Games 2010
XDL Sportbike Championship Series Rider Brian Bubash executes his favorite stunt, named the Stoppie
There are many different aspects to the street bike styles in competition. The Individual Freestyle event is the main competition in the series and the one that ultimately decides the national championship. Other competitions include the Aprilia All Star Challenge and the K&N Sponsored XDL Circle Challenge. During the Circle Challenge riders first face off against each other with ten circle wheelie rotations. The next part is the Slickest Trick which is an audience judged competition where riders have two attempts to execute a specific trick. Riders also have to participate in Freestyle Burnout, a one minute free format where the riders push the pedal to the floor and let it all hang out.
“My favorite trick is called a Stoppie,” said Bubash. “That’s where I ride on the front tire with the back tire in the air.” Bubash competes in a 2004
Kawasaki ZX-6R with K&N motorcycle air filters and oil filters. “I’ve used K&N since I was a kid racing dirt bikes,” he said. “Even my mom knows K&N products and she really does not know her way around automotive stores. We both know K&N protects our engines and gives us excellent filtration.”
Bubash has competed in street bike competition for the past four years. “Every weekend I’m riding and travelling,” he said. ‘It’s important to be athletic in the XDL Series and have a top level mind- body connection.”
Judges base their decisions of difficulty, execution, overall performance and crash. The difficulty portion is worth between 0-40 points and is rated on the technical aspect of the stunts that are performed. There are four disciplines, wheelies, stoppies, burnouts and acrobatics. Execution is worth between 0-20 points and based on how well all the stunts are completed. If a rider does not complete a stunt they get penalties. Overall performance is worth 0-40 points and takes every aspect of the performance into consideration. Judges look at the rider's appearance, the motorcycle's appearance, the fluidity of the run or tricks and the crowd's reaction.
If a rider crashes they lose three points each time. Crashes are when the slider part of the crash cage touches the ground, with or without the rider.
The top 15 riders in the 2009 XDL Series sponsored by K&N will compete in the 2010 X Games. XDL round three will take place at Toyota Speedway in Irwindale, California August 7-8.
Mitsubishi's Lancer Evolution, once a highly coveted Japanese Domestic Market only vehicle, graced North American shores in 2003. Since then the Evolution, or Evo as it is commonly called, has undergone two significant redesigns. Each generation Evo is designated by a Roman numeral. 2008 saw the debut of the 10th generation, or Evo X. Featuring a newly designed all aluminum 2.0L turbocharged engine, and Super All Wheel Control, the Evo X is capable of producing nearly 300 horsepower in stock trim. Always hungry for more power, K&N engineers took one look under the hood and decided that more could be done.

That's exactly what K&N did with Performance Air Intake System 69-6546TWR. Much consideration was put into the design of part number 69-6546TWR for the 2008 to 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution with a 2.0 liter engine. Unique features include a powder coated aluminum upper intercooler and turbo inlet tubes replacing the stock pieces for improved air delivery. 69-6546TWR incorporates a unique heat shield, which retains the use of the factory fresh air scoop. The result of this hard work and enthusiasm for performance is an incredible estimated 21 horsepower gain at the wheels for the 2008 to 2015 Lancer Evolution.
K&N's Research and Development Department tested a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 2.0L Turbo L4 on our in-house dynamometer. Results showed a shocking peak horsepower gain of 21.42 horsepower @ 6,100 RPM! The 69-6546TWR provides improved performance with an attractive wrinkle-red powder coated aluminum intake and intercooler tubes to enhance the Evo X's engine bay.
K&N intakes are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction as they smooth and straighten airflow. This helps to feed denser air to your engine for more power and torque when you need it. With a K&N Performance Air Intake System, you can count on extra horsepower whether enjoying a lonely country road, or competing in a Time Attack racing event.
This air intake system uses a conical shaped, carbon fiber topped, high-flow air filter (RF-1047) and powder coated aluminum heat shield in place of the vehicle's stock air box. The result is an air filter that captures harmful particles, has high air flow, and has long service life. This K&N air filter performs for up to 100,000 miles before service is required, depending on driving conditions. Improving the air path between the filter and the engine are the powder coated aluminum intake and intercooler tubes. Our powder coated aluminum tubes offer power and a stylish appearance. The 69-6546TWR takes about 90 minutes or less to install using stock mounting points. It requires no cutting or drilling and it is covered by K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty®.
French Automaker Renault first introduced the Twingo (a blend of "Twist", "Swing" and "Tango”) in the early 1990's to the continental European market. The second generation Twingo debuted in 2007 to a widened market eagerly awaiting an all-new car. Not wanting to disappoint, Renault's iconic Renaultsport motorsports division took the modest Twingo and worked their magic. The result is the Twingo Renaultsport 133; a serious threat in the Hot Hatch market segment. Sporty looks, heightened style and performance all come standard on the 133.
K&N's 57A-6045 Apollo Air Induction System for the 2008-2009 Renault Twingo Renaultsport 1.6L L4
K&N part number 57A-6045 Induction System for the 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 Renault Twingo with a 1.6 liter engine utilizes the Apollo, a protective shell which houses a K&N high-flow, washable and reusable lifetime air filter in one unit. This provides the benefits of an open cone filter and standard airbox into one element. The 57A-6045 is designed with attachments that are vehicle specific and allow outside air to enter the induction system. K&N rolling road tests showed positive power gains.
K&N Drycharger® filter wrap for the conical shaped high-flow air filter RC-5052
K&N Induction Systems are designed to free vehicles from the restriction of the original factory air box. This allows a virtually unrestricted flow of air to reach the engine for more power and performance when you need it. With a K&N Air Induction System, consumers can count on extra horsepower whether maneuvering amongst city traffic, or winding through the countryside.
Inside the Apollo Air Induction System is a conical shaped high-flow air filter (RC-5052). K&N air filters capture harmful particles, flow air freely, and have a long service life. 57A-6045 takes about 90 minutes or less to install and is covered by K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty®.
For increased protection and style, K&N offers Drycharger® filter wrap number RC-5052DK that can be used in conjunction with 57A-6045. Drychargers® are made from a durable polyester material containing uniform micron openings which will stop small dirt particles and repel water; yet add little restriction to the airflow of the filter.
