Few names are more synonymous with rally, rally cross, Pikes Peak, drag racing, baja off-road and drifting than Rhys Millen and his racing team.
There are few racers whose names are more synonymous with rally, rally cross, Pikes Peak, drag racing, baja off-road and drifting than Rhys Millen and his racing team, logically named Rhys Millen Racing (RMR). Yet, many are unaware that long before Rhys Millen Racing started using K&N products on all of their race cars, the venerable racing team sold aftermarket K&N panel and sport air intakes to street customers.
When asked why K&N Filters, Rhys replied, "All these disciplines require maximum air flow for performance while requiring maximum engine filtration protection. In all my years if competition I have never had an engine failure due to poor filtration." And none could be more important than at America's second-oldest motor sports race, the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Rhys and his team returned to the mountain to defend its 2012 record in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC) of 9:46.164.

"Being exposed to the performance advantages that were witnessed as we installed these products on a variety of cars," Rhys continued, "It was no question that K&N was the right choice for our race cars." This time around, six-time champion, and RMR team member, Paul Dallenbach will drive Millen's Hyundai Genesis Coupe that set the all-time record last year.
Unlike all the previous years Hyundai has competed at the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, the manufacturer will have two cars; the production-based Genesis Coupe that set last years' all-time record to the peak piloted by Pikes Peak veteran star Dallenbach from Basalt, Colorado, who has won six times previous in the Open Wheel division, as Millen will be piloting a new, purpose-built unlimited class rear-drive racecar in the Unlimited division, which now has 11 entries.
"We're certainly proud to renew our successful partnership with Rhys Millen Racing to take on the unique challenge of international motorsports known as Pikes Peak," voiced Steve Shannon, vice president, marketing, Hyundai Motor America. "Last year's all-time world record, set by Millen in the production-based Genesis Coupe, was a defining milestone in Hyundai's quest to build thrilling and durable rear-drive performance vehicles that are as capable on the road as they are in the rigors of competitive motorsport.
NASCAR Nationwide Series Champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. holds the Heisman Trophy
When Ricky Stenhouse Jr. crossed the finish line at Homestead-Miami Speedway in November, he became only the sixth driver in NASCAR history to win back-to-back Nationwide Series championships. But he wasn't completely happy with the result.

He finished in sixth place in the race, an admittedly disappointing end to his Nationwide Series run with Roush Fenway Racing.
"I really wanted to win the championship and the race all at the same time," Stenhouse said.
The rising NASCAR star is moving up to the Sprint Cup Series and will be driving the No. 17 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing in 2013. The race in Miami was his last with his Nationwide Series crew. Together they placed Stenhouse in the same company as Sam Ard, Larry Pearson, Randy LaJoie, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Martin Truex Jr. as the only drivers to win Nationwide Series championships in consecutive years.
Still, Stenhouse said he would have liked to end his stint in the Nationwide Series with Roush Fenway with a little more to celebrate.
"We had a car throughout the race that every now and then that would be OK," Stenhouse said. "All in all it was a great ride, great weekend for us. I was disappointed that we didn't win. Looking back at the things we accomplished this year, thinking about how long I've been with those guys and that was my last race with them. Without winning the race, the last race with those guys, it was pretty tough. I got over that race pretty quick. After the race, I was pretty upset with not winning for sure."

Stenhouse won six races and four poles en route to his second Nationwide Series championship. He won the Nationwide Series races at Kansas Speedway, Chicagoland Speedway, Atlanta Motor Speedway, Iowa Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway and Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

He credits his crew for preparing quality and reliable cars throughout the season. K&N filters were part of that preparation.
"For us, in the Nationwide side, it's very important for the engine to perform as best it can," Stenhouse said. "Being low on horsepower, it shows when you have extra five additional horsepower. That's definitely a plus. All year long, we never had a K&N part failure. I thought it performed very well."
Stenhouse started racing when he was 6 years old. Even at that early age, his father expected him to work on his own cars if he wanted to race.
"I always enjoyed it. My dad had an engine shop. I grew up tearing down engines for him and also working on the race cars," Stenhouse said. "It's a weird situation now, being in the stock cars and running them and not working on them as much like I used to. I go to the shop quite a bit. It's a different situation, but I definitely grew up working on them all the time."
His experience in the garage and in the pits made him appreciate the work his crew put into his stock cars.

"You have to things that can finish the races, but you also have to have things to go out and win championships," Stenhouse said. "We have the best out there. Everybody at Roush Fenway, I feel like they do an awesome job preparing the cars as best they can and also putting the best equipment in there as well."
All that hard work produced two Nationwide Series championships in a row and a place in NASCAR history.
"Obviously that was the goal that we set out to do," Stenhouse said. "I really haven't had time to sit back and think about it. They have me running around. The second championship was huge for us. This year was great. The guys worked very hard. We had our ups and downs, but we pulled it through. That's what makes it satisfying. When we have bad races and when we were behind in points, we battled back. That's what it's all about."
As many custom vehicle builders know, using quality products that are designed to be versatile and functional is a great strategy when modifying cars or trucks.

RG-1002RD with Adjustable Inlet Flange
With all the different possible modifications that can be made on vehicles today, using products that look great and fit the job is key. When it comes to universal clamp-on air filters, K&N is the perfect source as they offer hundreds of filters in almost every size and shape you could need.
Adding to this big list of clamp-on air filters are four new inverted top air filters. The inverted top gives the filter more surface area for higher air flow capability and a long service life. These four universal air filters differ from typical universal filters in that they have an adjustable inlet flange allowing for the same air filter to be used with a 3 inch, 3.5 inch or 4 inch round intake tube. The flange size is controlled by using or not using two included inserts. K&N parts RG-1001RD, RG-1001BL, RG-1001WT have a base diameter of 6 inches and they are 5 1/2 inches tall. The only difference between these three air filters is the color of their filter media. RG-1001RD is red, RG-1001BL is blue and RG-1001WT is white. K&N part RG-1002RD has a base diameter of 6 inches but it is 9 1/2 inches tall. It has red filter media. Like other K&N universal air filters these filters use an ultra-strong molded pliable rubber flange, which absorbs vibration and allows for secure attachment.
K&N universal clamp-on air filters are washable and reusable, saving you from having to purchase new disposable paper air filters over and over. Simple to install and service when they get dirty, these filters are backed with a 1 year limited warranty.
Since the moment it burst on the scene in 2011 the KTM Duke 125 has been crowned one of the most dramatically unique motorcycles to grace the complicated roads of India. The entry level single-cylinder machine is manufactured in India by KTM's partner, Bajaj Auto. The Duke 125 successfully addressed KTM's most youthful entry-level target group, which developed as a result of the new EU regulations that allow 16-year-olds to ride 125cc bikes with a maximum horsepower of 15 horsepower. Interestingly however, KTM dealer statistics showed an even split in 125 buyers between 16-18 year-olds, and everyone older than 18.

K&N Performance Enderle Birdcatcher Fuel Injection Racing Air Filter Base
Continuing the tradition of developing products for all forms of motorsports, K&N has designed a high-performance air filter for what remains one of the most widely used forms of racing fuel injection today, the Enderle Birdcatcher.
K&N Performance Enderle Birdcatcher Fuel Injection Racing Air Filter
Used in numerous forms of off-road performance applications, the Birdcatcher is the middle of the Enderle injector family of three. The Birdcatcher injector hat is the perfect size for engines with cubic inches greater than 425 and it can be mounted on both tunnel rams and blowers. These fuel injection set-ups are commonly found on everything from weekend warriors at drag strips all across the country to Monster Trucks, drag boats and a favorite among those competing in the National Tractor Pullers Association.
K&N's Enderle Birdcatcher Fuel Injection Racing Air Filter 100-8521 is Washable and Reusable
In addition to the K&N race filters available for the smaller Bugcatcher and the larger Buzzardcatcher, users of this popular Birdcatcher can now have the added protection of a K&N race filter. K&N's 100-8521 is quite simple to install and it is designed to fit and seal onto the opening of an unmodified Enderle Birdcatcher fuel injection hat. By adding the K&N 100-8521, racers can minimize replacement costs by protecting their high-dollar engine investments from dirt and debris, all while maintaining excellent air-flow needed for power.
Air filter 100-8521 is constructed with K&N's unique oiled cotton gauze filter medium that is washable and reusable and can be easily be cleaned and recharged just by grabbing a K&N Recharger Kit and following the simple instructions. The amount of time between cleaning your 100-8521 will vary and depend heavily on the type of racing you do with your Enderle Birdcatcher set-up and the conditions.
