Kvapil restarted in the 11th position and moved up to 9th by the time the caution flag flew again. Crew chief Mike Beam took advantage of the caution to bring the K&N Filters Ford to pit road for tires, fuel and a slight track bar adjustment. Kvapil lined up 10th for the restart at lap 45.

He picked up positions as the race finally settled into a long run. Kvapil made it to the top five for the first time at lap 96. He also was able to stop with the rest of the leaders at lap 131 for tires, fuel and a slight air pressure adjustment. The K&N Filters crew performed flawlessly, getting Kvapil back on track for the lap 134 restart.

Kvapil was caught in lapped traffic and lost ground to the leader but was able to cross the finish line in the third position. “I’m really proud of my K&N Filters crew,” said Kvapil. “We had a good day. We didn’t qualify well, but our Ford F-150 felt really good. It had good balance. This is where we should be and this is what we planned on doing all along. Hopefully, we’ll keep it in the top-10 all year.

Kvapil now stands at sixth place in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series point standings. The next race will on June 8th at Texas Motor Speedway.

31.05.2007

Travis Kvapil and the K&N Filters Team showed patience and perseverance during the Ohio 250 at Mansfield Motorsports Park.

It took seven-and-a-half hours to complete Saturday’s race due to weather. Kvapil started in the front but ended in the back of the field after a near miss on the track and a pit stop. After several rain delays, the No.6 team bounced back to a seventh place finish in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.

During Friday’s qualifying session Kvapil qualified fifth with a fast lap time of 16.582 seconds. On Saturday afternoon, he settled into sixth position just before the first caution flew on lap nine. As the field came around for the green flag on lap 14, the rain came down and NASCAR threw the caution followed by a red flag on lap 15 for weather. It was the first of four rain delays on that day.

At the re-start the No.6 K&N Filters F-150 was 20th. Kvapil told the crew his truck had no rear grip and the No.6 was brought to pit row for a wedge adjustment. Kvapil eventually moved his way forward breaking into the top 20 on lap 99. The race was stopped at lap 106 for the final time due to rain and resumed after 7 pm with the No. 6 truck in 14th place.

Kvapil emerged in 7th place as the checkered flag waved over the finish line. “Today was a pretty good day for the K&N Filters Team,” he said. “We started the race pretty loose then a few trucks wrecked right around me so that put us behind early on. We’ve had a good truck for the last for weeks and just haven’t had the finish we deserve.”

Kvapil moves to seventh in the overall Craftsman Series Point Standings with the No. 6 K&N Filters F-150. His next race will be at the Monster Mile in Dover Delaware.
