There were 42 lead changes among sixteen drivers which made the Daytona 500 one
of the most memorable races in history.
On lap 198, the 18 car driven by Kyle Busch got in line behind the 20 driven by
Stewart. Kurt Bush, Ryan Newman’s teammate got behind Newman in the draft and
helped pushed Newman to the win. Stewart took a third place finish and Kyle Bush
came in fourth despite leading 86 laps throughout the race. Kurt Busch took the
runner-up position.
This was the first time a Penske car won Daytona and finished 1-2 in a Cup race.
Roger Penske now has a Daytona 500 win to go with his 14 victories in the
Indianapolis 500. “Winning the Daytona 500 is a special victory for Penske
Racing and the No. 12 Alltel Dodge team,” said Penske. “We could not have
achieved such a win without the assistance from our sponsors including K&N air
filters.”
K&N Engineering has been supplying Penske Racing with product on and off for
years. “The past two years we have formed a mutually beneficial marketing and
product development effort,” said K&N Sports Marketing Director Charles Maier.
“We would like to think that the race finished 1-2 for Team Penske due to our
product and that it made the difference. In reality Penske Racing has made
several changes and the results are coming to Victory Lane. K&N is glad to be
part of the progress.”
Newman broke an 81-race drought dating back to 2005 with this race. The Penske
team will be back this weekend for round two of the Sprint Cup Series at
California Speedway in Fontana, California.

2007, 2008 and 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 Diesel Air Filter
K&N Engineering designed a washable and reusable replacement HD diesel air filter for the 2007, 2008 and 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 pickup truck. The E-0784 was designed to offer virtually unrestricted air flow to your Ram's engine while providing excellent filtration.
The E-0784, replacement air filter, was engineered to fit directly into the factory air box of your pickup. This drop-in design means adding performance to your 2007 to 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500 turbo diesel is easy. Simply unfasten the air box clamps and remove the lid, swap the stock panel filter with a K&N lifetime air filter, replace and fasten the air box lid and you are done.
"The unique cube-shape design (for the E-0784) was created to maximize surface area of the filter which allows for a higher airflow capacity than the stock panel type air filter." said Joost Adriaans, Product Manager for the E-0784. "It is designed to increase horsepower and torque."
K&N OE Replacement Air Filters are warranted against defective materials or workmanship for one million miles. The E-0784 will be the last air filter your Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500 turbocharged diesel will ever need.

February 8th, and followed that up the next evening with a thrilling victory
coming in the final lap of the race.
The two wins put Kruseman within fifteen victories of tying Dean Thompson’s all
time record. “It’spretty exciting, he was a legend. Just the possibility of
winning that many events on the West Coast is exciting.”
Kruseman uses K&N’s composite airbox (100-8567) and K&N’s oil filter (HP-3002)
on his 410 c.i. sprint car.
“K&N products always allow us to squeeze in a few more races between rebuilds.

Lea drives a rear wheel drive Ford Fiesta with a Mitsubishi Evo 6 turbo

Ben Power's Ford SportKA with updated engine
Rallycross is circuit racing with ten cars on the track competing against
each other. The track has a mixed surface of tarmac and loose gravel. The
Rallycross circuit racers compete in tracks like Croft, Knockhill and Mondello
Park in Ireland.
“We have been racing for 6 years in the Rallycross circuit,” said Lea. “For the
past twenty years we’ve raced in many forms of motorsports, but Rallycross is by
far the best sport for us.”
Lea finished third in 2007 in the Super National Class. His team is currently
building a new super national car. “It is a Toyota MR2 with a Honda Civic type R
engine,” he said. “We hope to do really well this year.”
Ben Power is another rallycross racer who plans to compete in the British
Rallycross Championship season and selected rounds of the Irish Rallycross
Championship. “My vehicle is a Ford SportKA,” said Power. “It is however, no
ordinary Sportka. It is designed with a unique built space framed chassis with
a molded carbon/Kevlar lightweight body.” Rallycross has several categories and
Power competes in the Supermodified class which is 2 wheel-drive cars with
unlimited engine size.
“I love going fast and the adrenaline rush from racing is great,” said Power. “Motorsports have been an interest in my
family for generations.”
Power’s engine is a 2.3 Duratec engine, which produces more than 280 bhp through
the front wheels. His car has a 6 speed sequential Hewland gearbox and Reiger 3
way adjustable suspension. Overall, his vehicle weighs less than 700kg. “We use
K&N Engineering’s
RE-0860
air filter,” said Power. “It works very well and provides good induction for the
car. We also use K&N filter cleaner and oil.”
Power has been racing for three years. “I’m 18-year’s old and have been in the
Supermodified category for two years and before that I raced in Junior Rallycross,” he said. “I also used K&N on my
Junior Rallycross car.”
Power has plans to defend his Irish championship title and wants to improve on
the Supermodified category where he placed second in 2007.

race despite a late arrival and starting position at the back of the pack. “I
drove a good race,” Franklin said. “I was able to take the lead in the last four
laps and maintained my position for the win.”
Race winner, Elvis impersonator Joey Franklin, next to his sprint car
Track conditions were dry on the dirt oval for the race and Franklin proved to
be a fan favorite. Franklin said he has always been able to use his status as an
Elvis impersonator to his advantage at racing events. “Track announcers always
seem to have fun with it. They always make comments like ‘Elvis has entered the
building.’”
Sponsors take notice of Franklin’s talents as well, and are glad to get the
extra attention win or lose. “Right now I have someone at Impact Racing working
on an Elvis suit to wear when I’m racing. So I’m excited about that.”
Franklin uses K&N’s composite airbox air filter (100-8567) and K&N's oil filter
(HP-3002) in addition to K&N’s breather filter (62-1440) on his winged 410
sprint car. “K&N always has a quality product,” he said. “I’ve been using K&N
products since 1987 when I was racing go-karts.”
Franklin’s next race will be the Las Vegas USAC held February 28th and 29th at
the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
