It happened again. Cody Webb and Colton Haaker were so fast in the 6th stop of the EnduroCross season that they both lapped the rest of the field, including the third place finisher. The dynamic duo did the same thing in the prior round in Denver. The large and enthusiastic crowd in Everett Washington’s Xfinity Arena watched Webb hold off an aggressive Haaker to take the top podium spot.

With these two dueling it out for the 2016 championship, every point counts. After Haaker won the Hot Lap and garnered that important extra season point, Webb was even more motivated to win the final. “I knew I had to give it my all in the main and I came in really focused to not lose any more points,” Webb said, “Colton made a little mistake and I was able to get by early and he hung there on my tire most of the race. The good thing is I knew I didn’t make any mistakes all night, really. And in the main that mattered because I think I only made two little mistakes and Colton made more. It allowed me to open up the gap and cruise to victory. It’s a great feeling.” The KTM racer knows it will be a dogfight in the last two rounds of the season.

Haaker’s second place finish was the only blemish in a what was a remarkably fast weekend for the Husqvarna racer. He not only won his heat race and the Hot Lap, he also won the holeshot prize in the final. “I got the holeshot—had a great start—then on the second lap I had made a mistake and lost the front end and went off the track. Cody got by and I paced him for five or six laps until we started getting into some lappers. I got stuck behind one early that put me in a bad spot in the firewood. From there, I felt like I was riding well, but started to lose contact and struggled on the track.” Even with the second place finish in the final, Haaker still holds a 10 point lead in the series. He clearly has his eye on the big picture. “In the end I lost a few points but didn’t give up too much so it’s still a good night here in second,” Haaker said.

Despite being lapped by Webb and Haaker on the final lap of the main, third place finisher Ty Tremaine continued his ascent in the EnduroCross hierarchy. Earlier in the night he won his heat race for the second time in consecutive series stops. The podium finish in Washington is the first of his career.

Next up for the EnduroCross series is round 7 in the Ford Idaho Center in Nampa, ID on November 5. The final round will be staged over two days in the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, CA on November 18 and 19. The racing will be fast and furious with Haaker and Webb fighting tooth and nail for the 2016 championship. K&N is proud to sponsor the exciting and popular professional EnduroCross series.

K&N Adds More Airflow and Performance to Your 2016-2017 Nissan Cummins Diesel

K&N air filters are manufactured from multiple layers of oiled cotton filter media

K&N replacement air filters provide outstanding levels of airflow and engine protection

The 5.0 liter V8 Cummins turbo diesel fitted to the Nissan Titan XD fits between the smaller and larger diesel engines in the pickup truck market. For example, Chevrolet has a 2.8 liter four cylinder diesel available in its Colorado and the Silverado is offered with a 6.6 liter V8 diesel.

As a clean-sheet-of-paper design, the Cummins 5.0 liter V8 turbo diesel brings together a compacted graphite iron (CGI) cylinder block (as used in NASCAR engines), forged steel crankshaft, and high-strength aluminum alloy heads.

The engine is also fitted with a two-stage turbocharger configured to operate efficiently at both low and high engine speeds. Coupled with high pressures fuel injection system driven by integrated electronic controls, the fuel system, along with turbo contributes to peak torque of 555 lb-ft and 310 horsepower.

If turbo diesel engines can’t get enough of one thing, it’s intake air. A greater volume of air is compressed by the turbo, to which the engine’s computer responds by adding incremental fuel. A fast, simple, and inexpensive way to increase the airflow into your Cummins engine Titan is the installation of a K&N replacement air filter, 33-5048. Installing a K&N filter provides an incremental increase of air flow to the engine up to 50%.

K&N air filters are direct replacements for OEM filters

Everything needed to install a K&N replacement air filter is included in the box

K&N air filters are manufactured from multiple layers of oiled cotton filter media, which accounts for their long service life. The major benefits are that oiled cotton allows for both increased air flow and excellent filtration characteristics. Many less-expensive filters are made from more restrictive paper media that can easily clog and actually limit the output potential of the engine.

K&N verifies the performance of each filter design through the company’s in-house efficiency testing laboratory, in compliance with ISO 5011 standards. This rigorous testing confirms that K&N filters provide a high volume of intake airflow without sacrificing engine longevity.

And once you’ve installed your K&N 33-5048 air filter you’ve eliminated the need to purchase and replace filters for the life of your diesel Titan. The only maintenance necessary is a quick DIY job. At intervals of 50,000 miles (depending on your driving conditions) simply use the K&N air filter cleaning kit to clean and refresh your air filter. Your one K&N air filter is designed to last the lifetime of your vehicle, which K&N guarantees will perform for up to 10 years or 1,000,000 miles without requiring replacement.

The 33-5048 replacement filter fits the following vehicles:

2017 NISSAN TITAN XD 5.0L V8 Diesel Engine - All Models
2016 NISSAN TITAN XD 5.0L V8 Diesel Engine - All Models

K&N Pro Series West Veteran Jack Sellers Dies at 72

Jack Sellers, NASCAR, K&N Pro Series West, John Krebs, Rich DeLong

NASCAR K&N Pro Series West driver Jack Sellers died at his home in Sacramento on Oct. 21. He was 72.

Jack Sellers spent 32 seasons racing in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West. He never won a race and was not one of the top drivers in the series. But he was one of the biggest proponents of the series and loved being able to help young drivers realize their dreams. He died on Friday night (Oct. 21) at his ranch home in Sacramento. He was 72.

Sellers raced in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West season finale at All American Speedway in Roseville, California, on Oct. 15. He started 19th and finished 14th. He was entered in four K&N Pro Series races in 2016.

John Krebs, who partnered with Sellers to run a three-car team in the K&N Pro Series West, said he and Sellers went on a hunting trip two weeks before the race at Roseville. The Wednesday before the race, Sellers decided he wanted to enter a car.

“We did have a car ready for him and we were there,” Krebs said. “He wanted to run.”

Jack Sellers, NASCAR, K&N Pro Series West, John Krebs, Rich DeLong

NASCAR K&N Pro Series West driver Jack Sellers finished 14th in his final race in Roseville, Ca.

Krebs said Sellers was “full of energy” after the race. The two had a meeting and were planning a race scheduled for the 2017 season. It was business as usual, a partnership that began with a handshake back in 1983.

“We were best friends,” Krebs said. “It worked out well.

“Not many relationships last that long on a handshake. His word was his bond.”

Sellers was a valuable asset at the race track for young drivers. He would loan his car to some drivers who didn’t have the resources or the connections to fund their own programs. NASCAR K&N Pro Series West driver Rich De Long III remembers when Sellers loaned him his car when he was starting out.

NASCAR K&N Pro Series West driver Jack Sellers entered a record 282 races over his career.

“We didn’t have the points,” De Long said. “Jack lent me his car. I always spent time talking with him. He was always friendly. He was a good guy.”

Krebs said Sellers was the unofficial originator of the NASCAR diversity program. He would find aspiring drivers and give them the opportunity to race before it became an official NASCAR program.

“He liked to be somewhat competitive,” Krebs said. “He liked to have people get a taste of it. There was no risk.

“Jack just gave people an opportunity to have a shot at it.”

NASCAR K&N Pro Series West driver Jack Sellers won the Sportsmanship Award in 2005.

Sellers made his debut in the NASCAR Winston West Grand National Division at Sonoma, when it was Sears Point Raceway, in April 1985. He competed in a record 282 West Series races over his career. He recorded 32 top-10 finishes.

He never finished higher than seventh place in any West Series race. The last time was at Evergreen Speedway in Washington in 2013. He finished in seventh place in five West Series races.

He was awarded the NASCAR Sportsmanship Award in 2005. He finished in the top 10 in the West Series standings in seven of eight seasons from 1987 to 1994. His last full season in the K&N Pro Series West was in 2014. He was ninth in the final K&N Pro Series West standings.

K&N DU-8015 Air Filter for the Ducati Scrambler Increases Intake Airflow

The K&N DU-8015 air filter

The K&N DU-8015 air filter is fully washable and reusable

Ducati sales numbers have reached several historical highs in the last few years. It’s no coincidence that the market resurgence of the venerable Italian marquee coincides with the unveiling of the Scrambler series. The Scrambler is the chameleon of the motorcycling world as the model comes in several different incarnations for various purposes and customers. No matter how it’s dressed, the Scrambler is a competent, affordable, and uniquely entertaining motorcycle.

To get the most out of the 803cc L-twin engine, Scrambler owners can now drop legendary K&N performance into the stock air box. The fuel injected Scrambler breathes through a 50mm throttle body that craves more O2. It’s no secret that Ducati twin cylinder models benefit markedly from a more free-flowing air supply and that’s exactly what the DU-8015 replacement filter is engineered to provide. The DU-8015 is specifically designed to facilitate an increased airflow, which is a key factor in elevated performance.

The direct replacement Ducati Scrambler filter adds airflow

The American made DU-8015 comes with K&N’s reassuring Million-Mile Limited Warranty. So what does that mean to you? It means that the DU-8015 is the last air filter that your Ducati will ever need. The washable and reusable filter will end the expensive and wasteful cycle of replacing single-use paper filters. The pleated media on the high flow filter provides a large filtration surface that extends service intervals. The K&N 99-5000 air filter cleaning kit makes that occasional cleaning and re-oiling process easy and convenient.

To keep the Ducati running clean, the DU-8015 features several layers of woven cotton gauze media that provide excellent filtration. The air filter cartridge is also carefully engineered to provide a tight and reliable seal so unfiltered air can’t make its way around the filter’s rubber frame. Clean air and lots of it; that’s what’s on the menu for your Ducati with the DU-8015.

That box contains the last air filter you'll buy for your Scrambler

The DU-8015 comes pre-oiled and ready to install in your Ducati, whether you ride the standard Icon model, the wire-wheeled Urban Enduro, the flat track inspired Full Throttle, or the retro-cool Classic. The K&N DU-8015 will open up the lungs of the Desmodromic L-twin of the Scrambler. It even fits the 400cc Sixty2 model.
