In the world of Australian Superbike Moto GP races, Teknic Honda finished their season with a perfect sweep at Eastern Creek International Raceway in Australia. Top performances by both Jason O’Halloran and Glenn Allerton accrued both a round and a title win.

Allerton consistently score at each of the seven rounds of the series, eventually securing the first domestic series win for himself as well as for the 2008 CBR1000RR equipped with K&N oil filter
KN-138.
“I’m really excited for myself and the team,” said Allerton. “It’s fantastic to have won at my home track in front of my family and friends. Jason really backed me up as well and helped me to secure the win.”
O’Halloran was unshakable throughout the race and scored a perfect 51 points for the pole position and two race wins. He was fresh off a plane from the UK where he just finished a round of the British Superbike Series. At 20-years-old he is a force to be reckoned with on the track. In Australia, he set a pole-setting time of 1:31 flat and proceeded to clock the fastest laps in both premier classes.
“Both Superbike riders were fast throughout practice and showed great speed over race distance,” said Team Manager Paul Free of Motologic. “Jason grabbed the pole, but there wasn’t much time between him and Glenn, either way it was great to see the Honda’s start from the top two positions and finish on top.”
K&N sponsored teen Cody Swanson had a good 2008 racing season. In fact, it was a lot better than he could have imagined, especially on the dirt circuit.

“The highlight of the year was my second place finish at Oildale Speedway in Bakersfield, California,” said Swanson. “We also had one 5th place finish and four 6th place finishes. Two were on dirt and two were on asphalt.”

There was also his 17th place finish in the annual Turkey Night Grand Prix at Toyota Speedway in Irwindale, California. “It was a great night of racing with the USAC Midgets, Sprint Cars and Ford Focus Midgets. The full Midgets ran a 98 lap race and both the Sprint Cars and Ford Focus Midgets ran a 40 lap main.”
Swanson ran his Ford Focus Midget and by the end of the 3rd practice session was the 6th fastest on the track. Things were looking good for Swanson Motorsports. “The qualifying format was one that I had never done before,” said Swanson. “Usually when we qualify we go out in groups for five laps, with the best lap being the timed lap. On Turkey Night it was single car, two lap sessions.”
The pressure was on and Swanson qualified 11th out of 31 cars on a very close field. For the first 20 laps Swanson swapped positions with about six different cars. “Everyone had to be on top of their game and consistently hit our marks,” he said. “If you missed your mark, you got passed.”
On lap 23, Swanson’s brakes started to get overheated and got worse until he had no brakes at all. “I slipped back in the field and ended up in 17th place at the finish,” he said. “I was very disappointed because I knew we had a fast car and the results could have been better.”
Overall, Swanson said it was very cool being part of the legendary Turkey Night. “Looking back on the race, we put forth a great effort,” he said. “Things were going great throughout the whole day and for a major part of the race, unfortunately the result does not show our efforts or how well we were doing.”
Swanson finished the season 6th place in points in the USAC Ford Focus Series and said he will be coming back in 2009 with even more determination.
Swanson Motorsports uses K&N products. “K&N protects our engines and allows them to breathe,” said Swanson. “Dirt is never a problem on the track with K&N.”
Chad Boat is only 16-years-old, but the teen is a powerhouse when it comes to sprint car racing. He is the youngest driver in the 65-year-history of USAC (United States Auto Club) to win a national dirt sprint car race.
K&N sponsored driver Chad Boat is youngest driver to win USAC Rookie-of Year in both national sprint car and national midget divisions
He was also selected Rookie-of-the-Year in both the National Sprint Car and National Midget Divisions. He joins a select group of only two other drivers to win both titles.
Boat is a second generation racer. Chad Boat’s father raced cars at Indy. “The first time Chad went to a race track he was only two-weeks old,” said his father Billy Boat. “I’ve used K&N products for years and when Chad starting racing it was only natural he use K&N air and oil filters. We would not use any other filters.”
The competitors in USAC are some of the toughest in the nation and Chad Boat said he is ready to compete for the championship in 2009.
“My goal coming into the 2008 season was to win Rookie-of-the year in both divisions, so I feel good about that accomplishment,” said Boat. “Next year we will be looking to win the championship in both divisions. We will also have to step up our game in terms of finishing and winning races and running in the front of each race.”
Chad and his team are preparing midget entries for the inaugural race indoors at the Kemper Arena, then the 2009 season kicks off with the annual Chili Bowl Nationals January 11-17 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
