“Tim Bertrand and my father spent the whole winter thinking about how to make our short track program better, especially at Monadnock,” said Cabral. “With our new shock package, rear suspension and our K&N products everything came together. Without supporters like K&N, Drinan Racing Products, NAPA of Tolland, Esslinger, ARS and others we would not be here.”
Veteran Jeff Horn piloted the K&N Engineering/Bertrand Motorsports No. 39 to a 7th place finish at Monadnock.
Bertrand Motorsports runs next at Lee USA Speedway in Lee, New Hampshire. NASCAR star Ryan Newman will be at the helm of the No. 39 Drinan midget and Cabral will drive the No.47 on June 26.

I also went on the Intranet and looked up information on KNFilters.com. We needed a sprint car air box and I asked my mom to contact K&N. The next thing you know we were hooked up and my sprint car is running better.”

“Right off the bat I set a huge bar for the other drivers,” said Vaters. “During the wheelie contest I pulled off my signature move, named the reverser and the crowd loved it.” The Black Stallion took on 5 top monster trucks, Jim Kohler in the Avenger, Trey Myers driving Iron Warrior, Chris Bergeron in Brutus, Joe Miller driving Iron Outlaw and Jimmy Creten in Bounty Hunter.

The racing was very close and the field very competitive. It was anyone’s night to win. In the first round of racing Vaters defeated Bounty Hunter and Iron Warrior defeated Avenger. In the final Jimmy Creten and the Bounty Hunter took the win from Black Stallion by inches.
The team then packed up and made its way back over to Moncton, New Brunswick to take part in the Sunday afternoon show. “It’s always sold out and has become an annual ritual for us,” said Vaters. “I try to give back to my fans because they’ve given me so much. I take the K&N flag off the back of my truck at the end of every show. I sign it and run into the crowd to give to a lucky young fan. The entire arena goes crazy over the chance to get the actual K&N race flag off the Black Stallion.”
The Iron Warrior started the show in New Brunswick with a vertical stand before it launched over a group of cars. Bounty Hunter took out Iron Warrior in the first round of racing, then went on to defeat Iron Outlaw in the finals.
Vaters uses K&N products. “We use K&N’s air and oil filters,” he said. “We’re hard on motors at every race and K&N protects our engines. K&N can handle the Monster Truck scene.”
Next week Michael Vaters and his pit crew head back to Canada for more stops on the Monster Spectacular Tour and Trey Myers will head across the Atlantic to take part in the Monster Jam European Tour.
Carlsbad, California teen Jacob Pearlman earned a spot on the podium in his sports car racing debut with the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) at Buttonwillow Raceway. Pearlman had a strong 3rd place finish.

The K&N sponsored 16-year-old is a championship kart racer. He had to wait a year to make his first car racing start. “We acquired the car last year, but Jacob was not old enough to race it,” said Richard Pearlman, Jacob’s father. “He turned 16 late last year and went to the SCCA licensing school in February.”

Pearlman raced in the regional Pro-7 class in his No. 25 Pearlman Motor Racing Mazda RX-7 with K&N products. Pearlman qualified solidly in the middle of the field on both Saturday and Sunday.
“Jacob faced a steep learning curve and lost several spots on the starts,” said Pearlman. “He was able to work his way back up through the field during the races and finished 4th on Saturday.”
The next day he picked up his pace and moved up to a podium finish despite a very hot and slick race track. “The air temperature was pushing 110 degrees and the track conditions deteriorated from Saturday to Sunday,” said Pearlman. “Most of the racers slowed down from the Saturday race, but Jacob was 2 seconds a lap faster over the 3.1 mile course.”
Pearlman has used K&N products for years. “K&N has been a key to Jacob’s success at the track,” said Richard Pearlman. “We never worry about the reliability of our K&N filters even under the most extreme conditions.”
“I had a blast racing the Mazda,” said Jacob Pearlman. “It is much more difficult to drive and race than a go-kart. I still need more seat time, but I am happy with my first weekend and I’m looking forward to getting back on the track. I need to work on my starts.”
Pearlman will take the month of June off from racing to participate in the North Carolina State University Motorsports Engineering Summer Program. His ultimate goal is to be an engineer or designer for a top-tier race team. Pearlman will be back behind the wheel of his Pro-7 racer in July at the Auto Club Speedway of Southern California.
