K&N Sprint Car Racer Jonathan Allard Continues Quest for Golden State Championship
- Apr 10, 2007
K&N sponsored Jonathan Allard competed in two sprint car events over the weekend
at two different tracks. On Friday there was a night of action at the Silver
Dollar Speedway in Chico, California and on Saturday the Williams Motorsports
Team went down to the Antioch Speedway in Antioch, California.
Allard qualified fourth on Friday with the K&N Filters No. 0. He recorded the fastest lap of the session and was able to line up on the outside of the second row in the final heat race. Allard moved up to second place by lap two, but could not pass Shawn Wright. Allard ended the race with a second place finish which guaranteed him a spot in the 25 lap main event.
There is a state mandated 11 pm curfew for all the classes. The night was running long and officials had to cut the laps for the main event back to 20. Allard started on the outside of the fourth row and had to move quickly with the limited amount of laps. By lap nine he was on the back bumper of leader Sean Becker. Allard made contact with another driver and both flipped over at turn three. That was the end of a promising night and finished with the Williams Motorsports K&N Filters No. 0 in fourteenth position.
On Saturday, Allard entered the Golden State Challenge Series at Antioch second in points. He qualified fifth out of 25 cars. Allard was the only driver in the heat who was able to make passes. He made it to the rear of the leader and took the win on the final lap to gain 5 points toward the championship.
“We use K&N Engineering Oil and Air Filters along with K&N’s Carbon Fiber Air Box,” said Allard. “K&N makes the best products, the oil and air filters are easy to use and maintain.”
Allard will compete at Silver Dollar Speedway this Friday night for Round 3 of the Feather Falls Casino point series in Chico. On Saturday he will be at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville for Round 8 of the Golden State Challenge Series.
