Junior dragster Allison Bell took home another 4 foot trophy to add to the Bell Racing Family collection after winning at Maple Grove Raceway in Mohnton, Pennsylvania.

“My sister Heather and I have been racing a lot this season,” she said. “One
of our events included a Junior Challenge at Quarter Aces Dragway in Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania
where I placed second.
Heather and Allison Bell are dedicated to racing. Heather Bell has moved up to Front Engine Dragster and Allison Bell is planning on following her sister’s path. “I plan to license in Heather’s front engine dragster in the spring,” she said. I also attended Doug Foley’s Drag Racing School for the dragster experience. I went 9.83 at 131 mph and it was a lot of fun.”
Team Bell uses K&N products. “K&N helps us make it to the Winner’s Circle,” said Bell. “No matter what track conditions we face, our cars are very consistent and our engines are protected because of K&N.”
The Bell sisters next plan on attending the Performance Racing Industry Trade Show in Orlando, Florida this December.
Canton, Texas is about an hour east of Dallas, but it was home to motocross riders from all over the United States for one weekend. They came to town for the Second Annual Buffalo Creek Shock Sox $10,000 AMA Easy Money Texas Pro-Am.

Amateurs mixed it up with the pros for product and event contingencies. Jimmy Albertson from Swanee, Oklahoma was unstoppable in the 450 Pro Class. He earned the Wyman Priddy, Father of Texas Motocross Award. Michael Lieb of Menifee, California won the 250 Pro class overall.

K&N is the perfect fit for the Buffalo Creek track which is a mix of red clay and white powder sand and where racers get to see first hand what a great filter the K&N brand is, said promoter Shand Garcia
The Buffalo Creek Shock Sox race was the second leg of the $35,000 Texas Two Step, which offered a big money pro purse in East Texas.
“We depend on sponsors to help us put together a great event for the racers in attendance,” said Shand Garcia, Holeshot Magazine and Shock Sox event promoter. “We are very thankful for K&N Filter’s involvement for the 2nd year in a row. K&N filters are the perfect fit for the Buffalo Creek course. The track is a mix of red clay as well as white powder sugar like sand. It’s really great to have a contributing air filter sponsor such as K&N on board. With this race and diverse soil types, racers get to see how important filters are for their bikes and what a great filter the K&N brand is.”
K&N's involvement in motocross and off-road stems back to the roots of the company. "The filters' design comes from needing more surface area in the harsh off-road environment," said John Jump, K&N Powersports Brand Manager."K&N tries to support amateur events like this throughout the season, keeping the brand in front of our core consumers. Motocross is one of the most demanding environments on our products and we need our consumers to see that our products succeed even in the most extreme conditions. These same amateur riders that learn about our products while they are young, will hopefully continue to use the products in every vehicle they own as they travel the racing series as they grow older."
K&N supported Team Faith won its first ever National Championship in the GNCC Lites Limited UTV
Class in Crawfordsville, Indiana.

Team Faith entered the round, one point away from the series lead. “We worked hard all week to get the Yamaha 700 Rhino ready,” said Brian O’Rourke of Team Faith. “We knew the championship was on the line, but we were ready to race.”

The track was muddy and Team Faith made a last minute decision to run their ITP MudLite tires instead of the Terracross tread. “Both are awesome tires and provide great traction, but the MudLites have more of a tractor tread and work very well in deep mud,” said O’Rourke. “When we arrived at the starting line, we learned the course had been shortened from 5 miles to 4 ½ miles. Race control removed the ½ mile creek section from the event, but I was certain there would be enough mud and that our tires would give us a competitive advantage.”
The Lites Limited class racers started twenty seconds apart. Team Faith drew a 2nd row starting position and managed to get the holeshot for its row. “We only had a clear track for a few moments before we caught up to traffic. Passing was impossible in the woods.”
Team Faith waited for the field sections and started picking off its competition. “We raced to a large, harvested cornfield with a Grand Prix style track,” said O’Rourke. “There were multiple turns and the dirt was tacky. We came through the first lap in 3rd place and were only 8 seconds away from the next competitor.”
Team Faith caught up to one of the leaders, but had problems steering. “I poked my head out and checked the tires and we had a flat,” said O’Rourke. “Our top speed went from 40 mph to 25 mph. It took all the horsepower of the Rhino 700 to turn the wheels.”

KN-204. “We really noticed the horsepower we gained with the K&N air intake kit when we had to run the last 2 ½ laps on a flat rear tire,” said O’Rourke. “It took all the power we could get out of the Rhino 700 to make it to the checkered flag and secure our first National Championship win.”
Team Faith has put UTV racing on hold during the winter but will return to Arenacross racing in 2010.
Heavy hitters from all over the sprint car racing scene attended the 16th annual Trophy Cup at the Tulare Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, California. They were in the hunt for the $80,000 two day prize money. It is the largest amount awarded for a 360 race in the country.

The A&A Motorsports Team went after the points in a big way. Driver Andy Forsberg placed 20th out of 72 cars and was twelfth overall. A twelve car inversion for the A main was good news for Forsberg. It put him on the pole. He never looked back and led all 30 laps.

“When all the points were tallied on Saturday night and the heats completed, Andy was sixth,” said Candace Forsberg, Andy’s mother. “He started nineteenth in the completely inverted 50 lap A main.”
In the Trophy Cup Race, a major portion of the purse is in the points fund. The driver with the most gets $10,000. The goal of the two day event is to pass as many cars as possible.
Forsberg passed 10 cars in the 50 lap main event and finished 9th in the A main. “This was a great way to end our 2009 season, with the teams 10th A main event and Andy’s best Trophy Cup points finish,” said Forsberg. “Without our supporters, including K&N, our season would not have been possible. We would never use anything but K&N on our sprint cars. K&N air and oil filters are easy to use and maintain. They also protect our engines from track debris and give us additional power and filtration.”
