“We really like racing at Kings Speedway,” said Allard. “It’s also great to see all the fans come back and support the Cotton Classic. I hope we can do this for years to come.”

Allard lined up on the outside of the front row in the K&N Filters No.0 at the start of the main event. As he took the lead, the yellow lights came on and forced a complete restart. This time Allard had a great jump off turn four and led the 21 car field in the contest.

There were numerous stops throughout the race for hazards and it slowed the flow. Allard had nothing to worry about until the midway point. San Jose’s Tim Kaeding was able to move around Ronnie Day for second place. Allard was able to keep a safe distance between himself and Kaeding as the laps wound down and the checkered flag waved, Allard brought the K&N Filters No. 0 home in victory lane.

“The whole crew gave me a great car,” said Allard. “The dirt on the tracks is very tough on racing engines. Out team knows we don’t have to worry because we have the K&N air box. It’s easy to maintain and allows us to achieve maximum horsepower every night. Horsepower equals winning.”

Allard plans to race in Australia after Christmas and began with the World of Outlaws in February.

The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway Hosts the Las Vegas Bracket Nationals

The 2007 Las Vegas Bracket Nationals have gone away with the Thanksgiving leftovers, but the holiday race was a blast for K&N Engineering Project Manger and Super Pro driver Jonathan Fiello.

Teams from 20 states and two Canadian provinces converged on the four-day Thanksgiving weekend race at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. “Competition was tough,” said Fiello. “There were at least 180 cars.”

Fiello owns a 2003 undercover dragster with a 635 cubic inch big block Chevrolet with K&N Engineering products. It is fuel injected on alcohol and runs about 1200 horsepower.

For the Bracket Nationals, he raced Carl Cannavo’s 2007 Yancer Dragster 598 cubic inch big block Chevrolet. “Carl is my good friend and we make a good team,” said Fiello. “He does the set up for the race and I do the driving.”

Competitors had to go nine rounds for a final opportunity to win $5,000. Fiello did well on Thursday and lost in the 6th round. “On Friday, I lost in the 3rd round and Saturday I lost in the 6th round,” he said. “On Sunday we blew a head gasket in the motor. Overall, it was a blast.”

The bracket nationals put a lot of wear and tear on the race vehicles. “We used K&N oil filter (HP-3002) and a K&N air filter on Carl’s car,” said Fiello. “The K&N air filter keeps the dirt and particles from the track out of the engine and increases horsepower. The oil filter meets all our demands as racers. The heavy duty construction and sturdy one-inch wrench nut make oil filter removal quick and easy. The K&N oil filter also keeps our motor clean.”

Fiello did not participate in the $45,000 Ultimate Gambler. “The car was struggling too much for us to spend the $1,000 entry fee,” he said. “Kyle Seipel defeated K&N racer Peter Biondo to claim the big money.” However, Biondo won the Madcap Ultimate Engine Giveaway Presented by Mike’s Transmissions.

The next race for Fiello will be at Las Vegas in late January. He will start testing his own car there in the NHRA Top Comp Class.

The K&N air intake design provides excellent air filtration and lower restriction than the factory air box system for an immediate power gain. All the OE emissions devices are reused and the MAS placed in a location that works with factory settings.

A large chrome top K&N high flow air filter (RF-1041) allows free flowing air into the intake tube and increased dirt capacity. K&N also incorporated a radius adapter to help smooth out air flow coming through the air filter.

The heat shield assembly is installed into the engine bay using factory mounting points. The heat shield isolates the K&N air filter from the hotter temperatures around the engine and allows it to receive a consistent flow of fresh cooler air.
