In sprint car racing, July is the so-called “Month of Money.” Donny Schatz and
his ParkerStore Team are having a good week, to the tune of $80,000.
Donny Schatz wins Silver Cup
The Defending World of Outlaws Champion scored his second consecutive Don
Martin Memorial Silver Cup at Lerneville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania. The
Fargo, North Dakota racer earned $30,000 for the win, only four days after his
$50,000 victory in Saturday’s 24th annual Kings Royal by Crown Royal.

“This is what it’s all about,” said Schatz. “It’s always about winning races,
but when you can string a couple of really big ones together that really keeps a
team motivated. Now we’re just thinking about heading down the road and focusing
on getting the next one.”
The night did not start well for Schatz who qualified 23rd in the field of 46
cars. In the heat he worked his way from the sixth place starting position into
the second place position to qualify for the Crane Cams Dash. He started third
and finished second in the five-lap race to earn a front row starting spot in
the 40-lap A Feature.
Craig Dollansky shot out to an early lead with Schatz chasing him. At lap 10
Schatz pushed in front of the pack in a non-stop race that only took less than
eleven minutes to complete.
“We knew Craig was going to get a quick start,” said Schatz. “He was working the
cushion pretty good and we just stayed patient and made the bottom work. I knew
I was going to have to be able to race all over the place. I wasn’t sure if
anyone was close at the end, so I just kept charging forward.”
The victory came with a comfortable margin for Schatz. He won as Dollansky was
entering the third turn. Donny Schatz uses K&N Engineering Products. “The K&N
airbox allowed us to keep clean air going through our engine,” said Schatz. “Our
engine produced more than enough horsepower for us to win.”
Schatz heads to the Cleveland Brothers Summer Nationals at Williams Grove
Speedway. The finale offers $20,000 to the winner.

Johnson ran well all weekend long in Denver, Colorado. “It was a fairy
tale weekend,” said Johnson. “This was a Mopar event and we were the fastest car
and No. 1 qualifier. We’ve been a win waiting to happen since the first of the
year and just hadn’t gotten a break.” It had been thirteen years since a Mopar
had won Pro Stock at an event they sponsored.

“Going into the finals we knew it was going to be tough,” said Johnson. “Ron
Krisher was fast all day and I knew it was going to be close. Every run we made
was pretty awesome. We were on our game.”
Johnson has earned $3,000 for being the No. 1 qualifier at Denver along with points
towards the 2008 K&N Horsepower Challenge. Pro Stock

Teen racer Jacob Pearlman of Carlsbad, California has made it to the Rotax Max
Challenge North American Grand Nationals.
Jacob Pearlman at Apex Raceway
Round 7 of the Gatorz Karting Cup at
Perris, California had significant championship implications. It also determined
the qualifiers for the North American Rotax Max Challenge Grand Nationals.
“With so much on the line, the racers were aggressive and determined,” said
Jacob’s father Richard Pearlman. “Despite all the competition and getting caught
in two crashes, Jacob held on to move up to 5th place in season point standings.
He also earned a qualifying spot in the Rotax Max Challenge, presented by Champ
Car in Denver, Colorado.”
The racing day began with an uncooperative motor for JP. “When the official
racing began in the afternoon, the best JP could do in qualifying was an unusual
and disappointed 11th place,” said Pearlman. “It didn’t stop him. JP lined up on
the inside of the 6th row for the start of the 20 lap heat race. By the end of
the sixth lap, he moved up to the 8th position as was running with the lead
pack.”
Another kart pulled in front of the whole group in the narrowest and tightest
part of the circuit. The resulting contact among several karts sent JP’s #125
DPK/Birel with K&N Engineering Products spinning into the deep sand of the
infield at Apex Raceway. He finished 12th in the heat.
The 34 lap main started at 9pm. “Trouble found JP in the very first turn,” said
Pearlman. “Contact in the front of the pack sent one of the lead karts into the
infield, then back on the track in front of Jacob’s kart. The impact shot JP and
his Birel into the outside line of karts. Jacob held on even though he was hit
by four other karts.”
JP corrected in time and was back on the gas tracking down the pack. He moved
forward from 16th to finish in 7th place. He is optimistic as he looks toward
the Grand Nationals next month. “Wow, I can’t wait to go to Denver,” said JP. “I
am really proud to have K&N Products on my kart for the Grand Nationals. K&N is
a key part to our success.”

Travis Kvapil was a top competitor from the start of practice on Friday until
the end of the Built Ford Tough 225 at Kentucky Speedway in Sparta, Kentucky.
Driving the No.6 K&N Filters Ford F-150, Kvapil started seventh and finished
second in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race.

Kvapil stayed in the top five throughout the 150-lap race. In the end,
Mike Skinner’s No.5 machine proved to be the one to beat. Kvapil brought
the No. 6 K&N F-150 home in second place and had the best finishing Ford of the
night.

Kvapil is third overall in NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series
The K&N Team was strong as Kvapil took the seventh starting position for
Saturday night’s showdown. At the start pole sitter Ryan Matthews slowed down
and caused the field to split on either side. The racers went three-wide into
turn one and when they circled the track for the first time, Kvapil was in
fourth position. The first caution flew on lap 12 and Kvapil reported that the
K&N F-150 was tight. Crew chief Mike Beam began plotting the team’s adjustments.
Kvapil took the third position by lap 34 until the second caution brought him to
the first round of pit stops. Beam called for tires and fuel along with a track
bar and air pressure adjustment to ease the tightness of the truck. Kvapil
quickly found out the adjustments weren’t quite right.
At the next caution Beam took the opportunity to bring the K&N No.6 truck into
the pit for the second and final time of the night. He reversed the previous
adjustments and gave Kvapil a tank full of fuel to finish the race. Kvapil
returned to the track in fifth for the re-start on lap 101 but maneuvered his
way into second by lap 107.
Kvapil continued a strong run but it wasn’t enough to catch the No. 5. He drove
the No.6 K&N F-150 to a second place finish behind Skinner. It was Kvapil’s
fourth top five and seventh top 10 finish of the season.
“I’m really happy with our K&N Ford,” said Kvapil. “We’re happy with the
momentum our team has had over the last five or six races. We’re really running
strong.”
Kvapil moved to third place in the overall Craftsman Truck Series point standings. His
next race will be at the O’Reilly Raceway Park in Indianapolis, Indiana.
