Emotions ran high for Heckert as he accomplished back to back wins with the last race at Watkins Glen International Raceway being his first NASCAR K&N Pro Series East career victory

Cameron Hayley was leading the Biscuitville 125 race until a restart on lap 52 of 60 gave Heckert the opening he needed to drive the number 34 Project Lifesaver Chevrolet past Hayley

Just a week ago Scott Heckert, a 20-year old hailing from Ridgefield, Connecticut, brought home top honors in his first NASCAR K&N Pro Series East victory at Watkins Glen International Raceway in Upstate New York. By pulling off a daring pass late in the race, Heckert took the Bully Hill Vineyards 125 win at Watkins Glen. With a similar late race pass in the Biscuitville 125, Scott Heckert was able to prove that his win at Watkins Glen wasn’t just luck. Heckert seems to have a knack for turning his Project Lifesaver Chevrolet both left and right on a road course.

Cameron Hayley, who led the most laps in the Biscuitville 125, was out front on lap 51 when the fifth caution flag of the day forced a restart with eight laps to go. This restart gave Scott Heckert just the edge he would need to work his way past Cameron Hayley and take over the lead. Heckert wasn’t in the clear just yet as another caution flag came out before the final lap. “I thought I had it. Then we got the caution and that restart was a lot of work. It was everything the car had for two laps. It was tough, but glad we got the win” said Heckert.

Cameron Hayley had to settle for another runner-up finish with the Biscuitville 125 being his fourth this season. If Hayley was disappointed in his finish it didn’t show. After the race Hayley commented “It was a wild and hot afternoon. Overall a great run for the Cabinets by Hayley Chevrolet.” Austin Hill would finish third with Gray Gaulding and Kaz Grala rounding out the top five finishers.

The top 10 finishers were running pretty close at Virginia International Speedway in Alton, Virginia but Heckert held onto his lead finishing .848 seconds ahead of runner-up Cameron Hayley

Scott Heckert also won the 21 means 21 presented by Coors Brewing Co. Pole Award and is seen here with Ben Rhodes who currently leads the championship points battle

Ben Rhodes continues to lead the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East championship points with 65 points separating him and second place Cameron Hayley. Only two races remain in the 2014 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East season. Brandon Jones currently sits in third, just 14 points behind Hayley. Scott Heckert’s win moved him up to eighth.

The next NASCAR K&N Pro Series East race will at the Greenville Pickens Speedway in Greenville, South Carolina.

There has been a shift in the motorcycle cruiser market over the last few years. Motorcycle manufacturers, like the Yamaha Star Motorcycles division, have taken notice of the growing number of younger motorcyclists seeking stylish, fun-to-ride, middle weight cruiser motorcycles. For 2014 the Star Motorcycle division of Yamaha Motor U.S.A has thrown a wrench in the works of their competitors with the 2014 Yamaha Star XVS950 Bolt and XVS950R Bolt R-Spec motorcycles.

K&N air filter number YA-9514 is engineered to increase airflow and fit inside the stock 2014 Yamaha Star XVS950 Bolt and XVS950R Bolt R-Spec air cleaner without modifications

The K&N YA-9514 reusable air filter for 2014 Yamaha Star XV950 Bolt and XV950R Bolt R-Spec models is designed to fit inside the stock air filter box, also referred to as an air cleaner. K&N air filter number, YA-9514, is intended as a direct air filter cross reference for the stock Yamaha disposable air filter. For YA-9514 to fit the 2014 Yamaha Bolt without modification; K&N engineers had to design precision molded nylon mounting plates. The molded top and bottom plates sandwich the famous K&N high-flow pleated cotton gauze filter media and form a solid mounting surface.

A K&N high-flow replacement air filter is different from stock in that K&N uses cotton gauze filter media woven to exacting specifications. Cotton, by nature, is more breathable than the paper or foam media used for most motorcycle air filters. Since an internal combustion engine is essentially an air pump, getting more air into your engine can increase performance, acceleration, and throttle response.

Some might be worried that an increase in airflow comes at the expense of filtration efficiency and engine protection. To put minds at ease K&N performs filtration efficiency testing following the internationally recognized ISO 5011 protocol to guarantee that our air filters will provide high airflow without sacrificing engine protection. K&N YA-9514 air filter was shown to have a 98.72% overall filtration efficiency when tested with ISO coarse test dust. Calling this test dust coarse is almost preposterous, as 22% of the dust is rated at 10 microns or less. To provide perspective, a human blood cell is typically between 6 and 8 microns across. Detailed filtration test results are available for viewing.

Perhaps more exciting than the increased performance that comes with a K&N high-flow replacement air filter is that they are also washable and reusable. The advantage of a washable air filter is that it will pay for itself over time. Part number YA-9514 can be washed and made like new using one of the K&N Recharger air filter service kits. K&N Recharger kit 99-5000, includes 12 fluid ounces of air filter cleaner and a 6.5 ounce aerosol bottle of air filter oil for quick and easy application. Recharger kit 99-5050, differs in that it includes an 8 ounce squeeze bottle of K&N filter oil for a more precise application.

Part number YA-9514 high performance air filter for 2014 Yamaha Star XVS950 Bolt and XVS950R Bolt R-Spec models is backed by the industry leading K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty. This means that 2014 Yamaha Bolt owners can enjoy a lifetime of increased performance, reusability, and long air filter service intervals when using part number YA-9514.

Washable air filter, number YA-9514, is designed provide a lifetime of increased performance without any need for modifications or tuning for the following Yamaha Star motorcycles:

David Mayhew drove the number 17 MMI Services/Ron’s Rear Ends Chevrolet to his third NASCAR K&N Pro Series win this season at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, Washington

David Mayhew had NASCAR K&N Pro Series West fans standing in their seats as he made a bold pass in turn four of the final lap at Evergreen Speedway to take the win without having led a single lap of the NAPA Auto Parts/Toyota 150. It was tight racing amongst the top three drivers as the white flag came out with Dylan Lupton leading Mayhew and Brandon McReynolds.

Greg Pursley, who leads the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West points championship, took the race lead on lap one, but a mechanical problem forced him into the pits halfway through the race

“It was a close one,” said Mayhew about his daring pass heading toward the checkered flag. “(Lupton) kind of checked up to protect the bottom on the last lap, getting into three. So I used a little bit of momentum we had, got up underneath him with a little bit of the bumper and just got lucky and had a good drag race to the end” continued Mayhew.

Dylan Lupton led 73 laps during the NAPA Auto Parts/Toyota 150 at Evergreen Speedway but lost the lead in turn four of the final lap letting David Mayhew and Brandon McReynolds past him

Dylan Lupton, who had been leading in that final turn, settled for a third place finish as pole winner Brandon McReynolds also made it past Lupton at the end. “We were running great. Coming into that last corner, I drove it in there just like usual and (Mayhew) got into us a little bit right on entry. It washed us up and we lost two spots because of it” said Lupton.

A representative from K&N and Miss Evergreen Speedway presented the MMI Services/Ron’s Rear End Chevy race team with a trophy for their NASCAR K&N Pro Series West race win

Greg Pursley, who leads the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West points race, took the lead from pole winner Brandon McReynolds on the first lap and led until the halfway point. A mechanical issue forced Pursley to enter the pits and would rejoin the race a few laps later. He settled for an 11th place finish which is his first finish outside the top five all season.

Pursley continues to lead the driver points championship followed by Dylan Lupton, and Brandon McReynolds just 6 points back in third place. The next NASCAR K&N Pro Series West race will be at the Kern County Raceway Park in Bakersfield, California.

The new R1200GS and R1200GS Adventure series of motorcycles from BMW Motorrad can trace its roots back to 1980 when BMW introduced the R80GS. GS is an abbreviation for the German words Gelände/Straße, which can be translated to off-road/road in English. The BMW Motorrad GS line of motorcycles ultimately created the Adventure Touring segment of motorcycling and is immortalized by the popular documentary Long Way Down which follows Ewan McGregor and fellow actor Charley Boorman as they journey around the world on R1150GS Adventure bikes.

BM-1113 for the 2013-2016 BMW R1200GS, as well as 2014-2016 R1200GS Adventure, and 2014-2015 R1200RT is designed to increase airflow without sacrificing engine protection

For 2013 BMW Motorrad made substantial changes to the boxer twin cylinder engine that has powered the big GS models for years. 2013 brought an all-new 1,170cc air and liquid cooled boxer twin engine, to replace the traditional GS air and oil cooled boxer engine, making more horsepower and increasing efficiency. These high dollar BMW motorcycles are equipped with technology not even imagined in motorcycles a decade ago, and both BMW and the aftermarket have a plethora of available accessories. When outfitting your 2013 to 2016 BMW R1200GS, as well as 2014-2016 R1200GS Adventure, and 2014-2015 R1200RT, don’t settle for a second rate disposable air filter. Make sure your 1200 GS, Adventure, or RT is equipped with the World’s Best Air Filter from K&N.

Flow Chart for K&N 2013-2016 ZBMS R1200GS 1170 with a water cooled engine, 2014-2016 BMW R1200GS 1200 and 2014-2015 BMW R1200RT 1200 Air Filter BM-1113

The high-flow air filter technology incorporated into replacement K&N air filter BM-1113 is now available for 2013 to 2016 BMW R1200GS, as well as the 2014-2016 R1200GS Adventure, and 2014-2015 R1200RT models. The new replacement K&N air filter, BM-1113, for these BMW motorcycles is designed to fit into the stock air filter box without any need for modifications. K&N replacement air filters are made with specially woven cotton gauze. Because cotton, by nature, is more breathable than paper, K&N replacement air filters can flow more air than a typical paper air filter. More air can result in increased performance and improved throttle response.

It would be false to assume that an increase in airflow with a K&N air filter comes at the expense of filtration efficiency and engine protection. K&N engineers placed filtration efficiency and dirt retention at the top of the priority list when developing the K&N BM-1113 air filter for the 2013 to 2016 BMW R1200GS. This filter uses design elements that go above and beyond our standard on-road only replacement air filters. K&N knows that a 2013 to 2016 BMW R1200GS, and especially the 2014-2016 BMW R1200GS Adventure could be subjected to some of the most extreme conditions on the planet. This is why K&N used our special tight weave cotton gauze sandwiched between wire mesh to form extra deep 1-1/4” pleats. Four layers of 1-1/4” deep pleated cotton filter media allows BM-1113 to outflow the stock air filter, hold more dirt for long service intervals, and offer 98.93% filtration efficiency.

K&N performs filtration efficiency testing following the internationally recognized ISO 5011 protocol with ISO coarse test dust to guarantee that our air filters will provide high airflow without sacrificing engine protection. Calling this test dust coarse is almost preposterous, as 22% of the dust is rated at 10 microns or less. To provide perspective, a human blood cell is typically between 6 and 8 microns across. Detailed air filtration test results are available for viewing.

Perhaps more exciting than the increased performance that comes with a replacement high-flow K&N air filter is the fact that they are also a washable and reusable air filter. The ability to wash and reuse a K&N air filter means that it will pay for itself over time. Part number BM-1113 can be washed and made like new using one of the K&N Recharger air filter service kits. Recharger kit 99-5000, includes 12 fluid ounces of air filter cleaner and a 6.5 ounce aerosol bottle of air filter oil for quick and easy application. K&N recharger kit 99-5050, differs in that it includes an 8 ounce squeeze bottle of K&N filter oil for a more precise application.

Part number BM-1113 performance air filter for 2013 to 2016 BMW R1200GS, as well as 2014-2016 R1200GS Adventure, and 2014-2015 R1200RT models is backed by a one year limited warranty.
