K&N air intake system for the 2007, 2008 and 2009 Ford Mustang Shelby with a 5.4 liter engine

In 1952, a legend’s racing career began from a simple trip to a drag race. That very same year that individual jumped into a MG TC, raced in and won his first road race. An accident where he flipped his car four times still didn’t stop him. He raced the following year with his arm in a cast and continued to achieve victory after victory on his way to greatness. This race car driver was Carroll Shelby. In 1964 Ford approached Shelby and asked him to help make the 1965 Ford Mustang, hoping that he can duplicate the success he had in creating the Cobra. The Shelby movement went strong manufacturing model after model and gaining international success up until 1969 when Ford and Shelby parted ways due to personal differences. However, the Shelby era has come back again. In 2006 the Shelby returned manufacturing the Shelby GT at 319 horsepower and Shelby GT500 with gains of 500 horsepower. The Shelby resurrection has spearheaded many new advancements and models in the Ford Mustang product line.

In 7 rounds, Tommy Phillips never trailed on the line; taking the reaction time advantage in every round except the quarterfinal, where he and Ryen Lamb left with identical times

The Super Comp victory at the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway marked the 31st national event triumph in Phillips’s illustrious career

K&N supported NHRA racer Tommy Phillips drove his CBS ArcSafe/K&N Filters/Orteq Energy Technologies/Wood Racing dragster to victory in Super Comp at the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The victory marked the 31st national event triumph in Phillips’s illustrious career. The win also extended one of the most impressive streaks in NHRA Lucas Oil competition, as 2015 marks the tenth consecutive season in which Phillips has earned at least one NHRA national event crown.

“It feels good to start off on a high note,” Phillips expressed, as the Las Vegas event was the first 2015 NHRA outing for his team. “Our equipment is second to none; and all of our cars have been flawless. I’ve said, only half-joking, for several years that the weak link on this team is behind the wheel. I’m just glad that I was able to hold up my end of the bargain this time around.”

In seven elimination rounds, Tommy Phillips never trailed on the starting line; taking the reaction time advantage in every round except the quarterfinal, where he and Ryen Lamb left with identical .014 reaction times. His path to victory went through Greg Hicks, recent Division 7 winner Bobby Mirizio, Keith Winters, Neil Markuson, Lamb, Dave Meziere and final round opponent Ryan Cook. Cook, who was appearing in his first ever national event, wheeled his dragster all the way to the final and made a very representative lap. But Phillips saved his best run for last, posting a stellar .004 reaction time, and crossing the finish line in his CBS ArcSafe/K&N Filters/Orteq Energy Technologies/Wood Racing dragster first with a 9.060 elapsed time.

2015 marks the 10th consecutive season in which Phillip's earned at least one NHRA national event crown

“Anytime we get a chance to celebrate victory on the national stage, it’s special,” emphasized Phillips. “But this win was even better than most. Cody and Meghan Ortowski of Orteq Energy Technologies, one of our major team partners were on hand for the event, as were Buddy and Karen Wood. We’re extremely fortunate to be surrounded by fantastic people who support our team. And I just can’t say enough about Jay and Linda Thornburg. Our racing program has become so much more than a weekend job, and they’re with me 100% every step of the way.”

“Thanks also to the great people at K&N Filters, Sunset Performance Racing Engines, APD Carbs, Capco Contractors, Hughes Performance, Hoosier Racing Tire, TNT Supercars, Lucas Oil Products, and Sullivan Motorsports. These great people who surround our team allow us to accomplish incredible things,” said Phillips.

The AMA ATV Motocross Championship is the nation's premier amateur and professional ATV motocross series, hosted at top motocross facilities nationwide. The 10-round series features the Nation's best racers, teams and sponsors, and is America's largest and longest-running ATV national motocross program. Since 1985, the series continues to expand and produce top talent from the amateur ranks, while premiering the professional class.

Competing in the AMA ATV Motocross Championship is K&N sponsored ATV Motocross racer Chad Wienen who cemented his status as the red plate holder at the Mountain Dew ATV Motocross National Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, (ATVMX) stop at Sunset Ridge MX. Chad Wienen enjoyed a solid afternoon at the front of the field aboard his K&N equipped Yamaha YFZ450, parlaying 1-2 moto finishes on the way to his third AMA Pro ATV win of the season and claiming a big triumph in front of his hometown crowd.

The day began with a familiar trend as Joel Hetrick emerged with the ATVRiders.com Fastest Qualifier Award. Joel Hetrick converted his first gate pick into the SSi Decals Holeshot Award for the opening AMA Pro ATV moto, with K&N sponsored Chad Wienen in tow. Wienen applied the pressure on Hetrick early and was able to make the pass for the lead on the opening lap. The early pass did nothing to deter Hetrick's confidence as he stuck to Wienen's rear fender for the entire moto.

On Lap 9 Joel Hetrick closed down the deficit to mere bike lengths and made a run for the win in the late stages of the moto. However, while attempting to pass Wienen, Joel Hetrick high-sided and lost valuable ground. Hetrick kept the bike going but Chad Wienen would go on to lead all 11 laps of the moto and put himself in the drivers' seat for the overall win aboard his K&N filters equipped Yamaha ATV.

Thomas Brown got the upper hand in Moto 2, leading the AMA Pro ATV field to the line to claim the SSi Decals Holeshot Award in front of K&N’s Chad Wienen. With a clear track ahead of him, Brown was able to establish a torrid pace out front and sprint to a multiple second lead on the opening lap. That lead would grow consistently for over half of the moto, reaching double digits. With Brown pulling away, Chad Wienen settled into second, knowing the overall would be his with a runner-up finish.

K&N racer Chad Wienen's 1-2 scores gave him the edge over Thomas Brown's 3-1 effort to secure his third overall win of the season. Hetrick rounded out the overall podium in third (2-3), followed by Haagsma Jr. in fourth (5-4) and Rastrelli fifth (7-5). Chad Wienen's win moved him into a 15-point lead over Hetrick in the AMA Pro ATV championship standings with four rounds remaining on the schedule.

The 2015 Mountain Dew ATV Motocross National Championship will continue with Round 7 from the legendary Spring Creek MX Park in Millville, Minnesota, on June 27.

K&N pavement only race air filter, number E-3032R, utilizes special 2-ply cotton gauze and is built in a common 14” outside diameter

K&N has been making air filters for high performance applications since 1969. The oiled cotton gauze air filter design was first developed for off-road racing, where high rates of airflow and excellent filtration efficiency are essential ingredients in the recipe for success. Contrary to old-school thinking, K&N air filters can help to increase performance and protect valuable engines used in paved racing such as road courses, oval tracks, and drag racing. With tight tolerances found in expensive race engines people continue to race their cars without air filters. Even in paved racing circumstances, like drag racing, the air going into an engine needs to flow freely and be clean.

To help clear the hood of race cars using high-rise intake manifolds, blowers, or little room to spare, this K&N race filter is only 2” tall

For extreme on pavement race use K&N offers air filters and complete air cleaner assemblies that utilize dry, 2-ply cotton gauze filter media and a large surface area to help minimize restriction and increase airflow to these heavy-breathing motors. K&N race-only 2-ply air filters will straighten turbulent airflow without adding noticeable restriction and are still able to offer an engine protection from track dust and debris. Whether a racer wants to replace a standard on-road air filter in their current setup, or finally put a race specific air filter on their engine, K&N probably has a race-only air filter to meet their needs.

K&N pavement only race air filter E-3032R utilizes this special 2-ply cotton gauze and is built in a common 14” round outside diameter. To help clear the hood of race cars using high-rise intake manifolds, blowers, or those that just have little room to spare, E-3032R is only 2” in height. The inside diameter of this race-only air filter is 12-1/4 inches. K&N racing only air filters are easy to wash and reuse with K&N Power Kleen air filter cleaner and are backed by K&N’s one-year unlimited mileage warranty against manufacturer defects or workmanship.
