Jun 5, 2007

Defending King of California Jonathan Allard was consistent over the weekend at two of the state’s tightest bullrings.

At Watsonville’s Ocean Speedway rain put a lot of water on the ¼ mile track. Allard started the 30 lap feature with the K&N Filters No.0 in fourth place. By lap two, he was second. Allard was closing in on Brent Kaeding over the next 15 laps, but could never complete the pass. Allard claimed the runner-up position at the end.

The following night, Allard and Williams Motorsports were at Placerville Speedway for another night of Golden State Challenge Series action. In the A-main Allard settled into third on the start and made it to second place after a few laps. For the rest of the race he battled for the lead between Brent Kaeding and Andy Forsberg. On lap 24 Allard moved into second. He was about to pass Kaeding but ran out of time and took second place.

“We use K&N Engineering Oil and Air Filters along with K&N’s Carbon Fiber Air Box,” said Allard. “K&N helps me to get where I need to be on the racetrack.”

Allard has scored five straight finishes of fourth place or better and is getting back to the powerhouse status he had last season. His next race will be at Petaluma for another round of Golden State Challenge action.

O'Reilly Summer Nationals Tough Venue for Team CSK

Jun 5, 2007

Jeff Arend lost to Scott Kalitta in round one of the O’Reilly Summer Nationals at Heartland Park in Topeka, Kansas. Arend charged hard, but the Checker, Schuck’s, Kragen blue team driver needed a 1,325 foot race track. Drag strips are only 1,320 feet long.

On Friday, wet weather delayed runs and the qualifying ladder was jumbled. Fortunately for Team CSK, Arend and the blue team ended with a top-half position in the No. 8 spot.

“That was huge for us,” said Arend. “Everyone and their brother picked us to be the next team to miss. The on-line poll they ran at the track had 60 percent of the voters naming us the most like victims. At least 11,000 people voted that way. The guys really took it seriously. They felt like they were dismissed and I’m not kidding when I say they were really mad about it. Of course the goal then was to win the first round.”

At the tree, Arend got away from the line nearly 2-hundredths quicker than Kalitta, and the two cars powered past the 330-foot mark. Just before half-track, Arend’s CSK Impala SS began to spin tires, just a fraction of a second before Kalitta’s car appeared to suffer mechanical problems in the other lane. Kalitta had an advantage because his problems occurred slightly later.

“It was a surprise when the tires spun and Scott started to pull away,” said Arend. “Out of my peripheral vision, I could see him having problems. We were both doing the best we could, and I was hauling him in like a prize Marlin at the end, catching up like he was standing still. We just ran out of track.”

Arend also saw his teammate, Del Worsham run his best lap of the weekend, and saw Worsham’s strong lap come up short. Worsham posted his best lap of the weekend in round one, driving his red Checker, Schuck’s, Kragen Impala right down the middle. His time was in the ballpark with most of the first round winners, but he was still defeated by Mike Ashley. It was the first time Ashley defeated Worsham after eight previous match-ups.

At the flash of amber, Worhsam tore away first and the race was on. Both cars stayed straight for the full 1,320. Both cars ran well, and Worsham posted a strong 4.894 at 316.45 mph. Ashley posted 4.793 in the other lane.

“We did what we wanted to do and we stepped up,” said Worsham. “We just got beat and there’s not a lot you can do about it when the other guy dominates the field like that. This is a small bump in the road, so it’s on to Chicago and we’ll go for it up there.”

Team Worhsam uses K&N Engineering’s Premium Performance Gold Oil Filters. “The thick canister walls on the K&N Filters have extra strength and durability for our blue and red teams,” said Worsham. “It reduces the risk of damage from debris on the race track.”

Kvapil restarted in the 11th position and moved up to 9th by the time the caution flag flew again. Crew chief Mike Beam took advantage of the caution to bring the K&N Filters Ford to pit road for tires, fuel and a slight track bar adjustment. Kvapil lined up 10th for the restart at lap 45.

He picked up positions as the race finally settled into a long run. Kvapil made it to the top five for the first time at lap 96. He also was able to stop with the rest of the leaders at lap 131 for tires, fuel and a slight air pressure adjustment. The K&N Filters crew performed flawlessly, getting Kvapil back on track for the lap 134 restart.

Kvapil was caught in lapped traffic and lost ground to the leader but was able to cross the finish line in the third position. “I’m really proud of my K&N Filters crew,” said Kvapil. “We had a good day. We didn’t qualify well, but our Ford F-150 felt really good. It had good balance. This is where we should be and this is what we planned on doing all along. Hopefully, we’ll keep it in the top-10 all year.

Kvapil now stands at sixth place in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series point standings. The next race will on June 8th at Texas Motor Speedway.
