Late race contact with Kyle Busch dropped Kvapil from contending the win to an 11th place finish at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee. It was the first time in nine races that Kvapil finished outside the top 10.

“Gateway is a very unique racetrack,” said Kvapil. “It’s probably the track that we go to that I’ve got the most laps on. I’ve been racing there since 1997 in late models. I like the layout of the track. It’s flat and sweeping at one end, tight and banked at the other. “You’ve got to find a compromise with the setup to get around the place.”

In four races at Gateway, Kvapil has three top-10 finishes. “Gateway is a challenging racetrack,” said No.6 K&N Filters Team Crew Chief Mike Beam. “It takes a well-balanced truck to get around there. Travis has done really well there in the past and we feel like we’re up to the challenge.”

The 17th NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Race takes place September 1 at 5:30 pm EST. SPEED TV will cover the event.

Alfa Romeo Owners Have Many Options with K&N Performance Air Intake System

The Alfa Romeo is an aerodynamic designed sports car considered to be extremely quick with arguably one of the greatest engines every built. The 156 are considered the flagship models.

K&N's 69-0502TWR
K&N's 69-0502TWR
K&N Engineering has released a High-Flow Air Intake System (69-0502TWR) in wrinkle red for the 1997 through 2006 Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 liter engine. See applications list below. Red is a very popular color on the Alfa Romeo in Europe.

K&N Engineers have made sure the design on this air intake system provides maximum power to meet consumer demands, by positioning the K&N Air Filter (RU-4860) far away from the engine. The large conical K&N Air Filter is designed to provide increased surface area and dust capacity. K&N's air intake design has lower restriction than the factory air box system resulting in additional power while providing excellent air filtration.

The 69-0502TWR is a two piece kit that can convert to a short ram which places the K&N Air Filter under the hood during inclement weather. When it is set up in the complete cold air intake mode the air filter is protected from road water with the use of a dry charger (included).

The free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum tube is engineered to the specific vehicle design. The 69-0502TWR is designed to improve engine performance and is easy to install, usually in about 90 minutes or less. K&N High-Flow Air Intake Systems come with the famous K&N Million Mile Warranty.

Applications are as follows:

2006 ALFA ROMEO 156 1.8L L4
2006 ALFA ROMEO 156 1.6L L4
2005 ALFA ROMEO 156 1.8L L4

New Motorcycle Records Set at Bonnevile Salt Flats During Speed Week with K&N Oil and Air Filters

It was at least 117 degrees at the motorcycle tech inspection stand at the Bonneville Salt Flats near Wendover, Utah during Speed Week. The Bonneville Speedway is the venue for numerous land speed records that are typically set each year.

Team Falkner Livingston arrived when the salt was still largely covered with water. “The heat was a good thing,” said Becca Livingston of Team Falkner Livingston. “Each hot day the water evaporated more and more, leaving behind two good courses. It was a great event actually, with lots of records set and only two crashes. One with injuries and one without, but luckily all were recoverable.”

Team Falkner Livingston did well and set several new land speed records. “Like all our FL race bikes, our motorcycles at the Salts were equipped with K&N Oil and Air Filters,” said Livingston. “Our CBR 600RR Honda with IHI Turbo running 650cc, Modified Partial Streamliner, Blown Fuel set a new record of 170.032 mph with FL Rider Dusty Schaller. Dusty was a rookie to the Salt this year.” Kelly Boltz, also a rookie for FL, set a new record of 152.013 mph in the 3000 cc Production/ Production class on a Rocket III.

Paul Thede of FL had a new personal best speed of 198.7 mph on a Kawasaki ZX-14. Thede set a new record of 196.604 mph in the 1650cc Production/ Production class.

Bonneville Speedway is marked out at the start of every summer by the Utah State Highway Department. Two tracks are prepared, a 10 mile long straightway for speed trails and an oval for distance runs. There is also a 4 mile long straightway for qualifying.

“The most exciting record was set by FL rider Jason McVicar of Vancouver, British Columbia,” said Livingston. “Jason is a very experienced rider who set seven new records at this year’s Speed Week. Four of those records were in the 2000cc class, and three were in the 1650cc class. Jason had a top speed run of 250.133 mph which established the first SCTA record over 250 mph on an open wheel motorcycle. We set records with K&N Air and Oil Filters.

“Racing in Detroit is a really neat deal for us,” said Johnny O’Connell. “The people know about Corvette Racing’s accomplishments in the American Le Mans Series and in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, but this is our first opportunity to show the incredible technology of the race cars.”

Corvette Racing took second place in their class at the 75th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Ron Fellows, Johnny O’Connell and Jan Magnussen drove their No. 63 Compuware Corvette C6.R in the GT1 class. They were also sixth overall in the world’s most famous sports car race.

Corvette Racing runs a special K&N Engineering Air Filter. “Dirt is a huge problem in street races,” said Crew Chief Dan Binks. “K&N protects our engines from the debris.”

The Detroit Sports Car Challenge will start at 3:15 p.m. EST on Saturday, September 1. The nearly three hour race will be televised live on SPEED Channel
