When Chad Sellars isn't on the track racing, this is how his car dresses.
Mt. Vernon Raceway is a quarter-mile dirt oval located on the west side of Mount Vernon, Illinois, it just reopened this season, having been shut down for the past two years. For Chad Sellars, owner and driver for RCS Motorsports Inc., the reopening was a very good thing. And the decision to race that evening came at the last minute, as the team's home track had an open date because of the July 4th weekend.
Any bad luck that the RCS Motorsports team has experienced in the past was exorcised at the tracks recent reopening when Chad Sellars handily took the feature win.
"Our recent win at Mt. Vernon was very satisfying, because we have had a lot of bad luck happen to us at that race track in the past," explained Sellars the Breese, Illinois racer.
"Winning the modified feature, which was the last race of the evening, was special on this particular night. It resulted in all of the track lights going out while we were sitting in victory lane, and we got to enjoy a large fireworks display over the raceway."
Right before the start of racing that evening Sellars' crew chief Rick Seaton declared, "This place owes us - let's get us a feature win." Sellars listened, going on to lead every lap of their heat race and then every lap of the feature. The RCS Motorsports Inc. team currently sits second in points at Highland Speedway in Highland, Illinois.
The RCS Motorsports team consists of Rick Seaton Crew Chief, Chad Tebbe, Dave Schaaf, Richard Sellers, Dan Blumenstein, and John Voss. They have been a contending modified race team for over ten years. The team competes under the Dirt Motorsports Sanctioning Body and UMP Rules.
"Our Sponsors include K&N Engineering, Aviston Lumber Company, Equity Fifty-Five Real Estate, QA1 Shocks and Landrum Performance Springs," say Sellars. "We only use K&N Filters on our modified. Specifically we use K&N air filters, outerwears, and oil filters.
"Our team feels very confident about the remainder of the 2010 season," says Sellars. "Two weeks ago we discovered that our electronic scales were not weighing accurately, they have been giving us false readings about the set-up on the racecar. We purchased a new set of scales before the feature win at Mt. Vernon, and feel very good about our chances for the balance of the season now."

K&N's research and development team has used its breakthrough air filtration technology to create the SU-6509.
Replacement Air Filter for 2009 to 2016 Suzuki SFV650 Gladius
The SU-6509 is an air filter that has been designed specifically for the 2009 to 2016 Suzuki SFV650 Gladius factory air box which ensures a perfect seal. A perfect seal is a critical part of reducing the amount of contaminants that are consumed by a vehicle's engine. Using K&N's SU-6509 air filter will enhance the performance of the Suzuki SFV650 Gladius by providing minimal restriction while providing outstanding filtration. Installing the SU-6509 does not require the rider to use any type of fuel management system on a fully stock motorcycle. This makes upgrading to a K&N air filter a breeze.
This filter is also considered eco-friendly because it is both washable and re-usable unlike most air filters that clog up landfills every time they are replaced. The SU-6509 is the last filter you will ever need to purchase for your motorcycle and it is backed by K&N's incredible one million mile limited warranty.

K&N just recently took the title sponsorship spot for the Nascar Pro Series, a partnership that has immediately benefitted both parties immensely. Being divided into two groups, the Pro Series East and West have become the top developmental series for today's drivers. The East series is now in its 23rd season, and the West is in its 57th season, featuring races all throughout the Western United States. The two series' are separate in points, but both follow the same set of guidelines for points, rules and vehicles. Both the East and West Series' have been the gateway for many of Nascar's biggest names, including Kevin Harvick and Joey Lagano.
The K&N Nascar Pro Series employee appreciation day was a great opportunity for the drivers to show their appreciation for both the great sponsorship K&N has given them, and the great products K&N produces that are being used on just about all of the cars. "We love having K&N as a sponsor; they have great products and a history very similar to Nascars" says Kevin Green, a top writer for Nascar. Luis Martinez Jr., driver of the #6 Kind Taco/Sunrise Ford/ Lucas Oil Ford said "he was honored to have K&N as a sponsor for the series." Luis started as a kid in cart-racing and in a very short period of time has moved up to be a top driver in the Pro Series West division.
Throughout the day, there were several activities for the employees and drivers to enjoy. Nascar brought a remote controlled circle track with several cars for the employees to race on to get a small taste of what the Pro Series drivers do on a much larger scale. Winners of each race had the choice of some great K&N apparel; either a cool K&N fitted hat or several choices of some hot his or hers K&N t-shirts. NOS energy also has some great prizes for their bean bag toss game while providing free samples of their great varieties of energy drinks. King Taco's, another great sponsor for the Nascar Pro Series, was on site providing lunch for everyone attending. Several different types of tacos with all the fixings were available.
The K&N Nascar Pro Series is off to a great start, with some very competitive drivers fighting for the top spot in points. For more information, check out NASCAR K&N Pro Series East and West to follow races, drivers and more.
