Jessy Harris grew up as a tomboy in her youth so she fits in perfectly in the automotive industry

Jessy’s family influenced her life tremendously. With three brothers, she became a bit of a tomboy. The siblings would go on adventures together “camping, boating and dirt biking.” These outings shaped Jessy’s personality, and she developed a distinct passion for dirt biking. Jessy says, “It was my way of releasing stress and escaping reality. With this being my favorite sport, it pushed me further in this industry. Modeling for K&N, Harley Davidson, Kawasaki and Mazda Raceway gave me VIP access to every event I would attend in my spare time.” She effectively combined passion with profession, landing coveted spots on some of the hottest raceways in sports.

Jessy began modeling when she was 21 years old. A friend referred her to an agency, and she landed her first job in San Diego. She worked a few more modeling gigs but eventually “took on a full time job traveling for a company coordinating events for the building of off-road events.” Jessy was excited for this new career opportunity. Little did she know, a storm was brewing on the horizon.

Jessy landed a last minute spot for the K&N calendar shoot with a pair of RSD Indian motorcycles

The traumatic event which paralyzed her body in fact catalyzed her career, and so goes the silver lining. Jessy recounts, “Things really took off for me after that. Harley Davidson took an interest in my work ethic and started flying me out to their shows.” This was the tip of the iceberg, and a whirlwind of modeling opportunities came pouring in.

Cue K&N. Jessy remembers, “I was connected to the Marketing Manager at K&N through one of the companies I worked for called R1Concepts. They needed a model last minute, and I was able to swing it with my schedule to do their calendar shoot.” This twist of fate became a gem of a memory for Jessy — “I absolutely love working with K&N. They’re always professional and take care of their models. My favorite memory with K&N was doing the calendar shoot on a one of a kind Indian motorcycle.”

Jessy was chosen as an official Mazda Raceway Girl for the 2016 Superbike World Championship

It can be cutthroat, but it can also be spectacular. With clients like K&N and Harley Davidson, Jessy is able to make money and gain access to events like the “summer & winter X Games, even Daytona 500.” Last year, she was chosen as an official Mazda Raceway Girl for the Superbike World Championship—an event held at Laguna Seca Raceway. Here, she got up close and personal with premier access to the track. Right in the middle of the action, she “experienced riders fly by or stop at the pits.” Modeling is a job, sometimes a grueling one, but it can also be a vessel to endless opportunity in the world of sports and racing. Jessy finishes, “It's not all rainbows and sunshine like it seems, but looking back now, it was all worth it. I've made lifelong friends and irreplaceable memories.”

Add an estimated 23 HP to your Hellcat Charger or Challenger in an hour and a half

The 6.2L Hemi is a completely redesigned engine. Although the combustion chamber is not a pure hemisphere, due to a better understanding of intake and exhaust airflow, as well as the addition of a second spark plug, it most definitely deserves to wear the Hemi name. In fact, in NHRA Top Fuel racing the Generation II 426ci Hemi design that powers those 300 mph missiles features a similar combustion chamber shape and dual spark plugs.

For the Hellcat (named after the WWII-era Grumman F6F Hellcat fighter aircraft), SRT developed a unique version of the Generation III Hemi engine. It features the same 103.9 mm bore as the 6.4L 392ci Hemi and an induction-hardened forged-steel crankshaft that determines the 90.9 mm stroke, for a total displacement of 6.2L.

The large K&N filter element draws increased intake air while protecting the engine from damage

Cool air makes more power than hot air. So does increased air flow. The key is to draw larger volumes of fresh, clean air directly from outside the vehicle, and then isolate it from high underhood temperatures. With the K&N 69-2553TTK Typhoon air intake system, intake air first enters a 7.5-inch high-flow air filter sited within a heat shield that's installed into the original air box location.

The heat shield isolates the filter from underhood heat, allowing only cold air to flow to the motor

The performance of each filter design is verified through K&N's in-house testing lab, which adheres to ISO 5011 standards, ensuring that your K&N filter provides high airflow without putting engine protection at risk.

The filtered air is then directed through a black powdercoated mandrel bent aluminum tube into the engine's throttle body. The intake tube includes fittings for the factory intake air temperature sensor and crank case vent hose.

Dynamometer testing verified an increase from 621.05 horsepower to 644.64 horsepower, as measured at the drive wheels, on the same 2017 Dodge Charger Hellcat on the same day, with the only change being the installation of a K&N 69-2553TTK Typhoon air intake system.

Best of all, the K&N 69-2553TTK cold air intake can be installed in 90 minutes or less with simple hand tools.

All the components required to install the 69-2553TTK kit are included in the carton

At intervals of around 100,000 miles (depending upon your driving conditions) use the K&N 99-5000 Recharger Kit to clean and refresh your Typhoon air intake air filter, preparing it for another 100,000 miles of driving.

The K&N air filter you purchase is designed to last for the lifetime of your vehicle, which K&N guarantees will perform for up to 10 years or 1,000,000 miles without requiring replacement.

The K&N 69-2553TTK is designed to fit the following vehicles:

NASCAR K&N Pro Series West rookie Will Rodgers was the runner-up in the race at Sonoma Raceway

“It’s more than I expected overall,” said Rodgers who drives for Jefferson Pitts Racing. “Friday when we showed up, we unloaded off the truck really well. The car did exactly what I wanted it to do. We made a few tiny adjustments. But ultimately went back to the setup we unloaded with off the truck for the race. Obviously it worked out really well.”

Rodgers has put together an impressive rookie season. He won the pole at Sonoma Raceway. He is in fourth place in the K&N Pro Series West standings after eight races. He has five top-five finishes and is in prime position to win the rookie of the year. He is third in the rookie standings, one point behind Kody Vanderwal and eight points behind Derek Kraus.

“As far as experience goes, I have experience in five different types of motorsports,” Rodgers said. “Sonoma was my 13th stock car race ever. I have zero late model experience or modifieds. I jumped immediately from sports car racing into full-blown stock cars.”

Rodgers started the season with a string of top-five finishes. He opened the season in Arizona with a fifth-place finish in the K&N Pro Series West race at Tucson Speedway in March. He followed with a third-place finish at Kern County Raceway Park in California five days later. He posted a pair of fifth-place finishes at Irwindale Speedway.

“This is the first time I’ve been to all of these tracks except Sonoma,” Rodgers said. “Our first time to Kern County, again we unloaded off the truck and the car just fired off exactly how we wanted it to. We made little adjustments again and improved it. We did maximize the equipment when we were there.

Will Rodgers won his first NASCAR K&N Pro Series West pole at Sonoma Raceway

He hit a bit of a road bump in May. He was 19th in the K&N Pro Series West race at Spokane County Raceway in Washington and 20th in the race at Orange Show Speedway in California. He moved back into the top 10 at Colorado National Speedway in June when he was ninth.

“The last three oval races didn’t show what we wanted,” Rodgers said. “Those three races were kind of a bummer. That was kind of the slump in our season. That’s how it goes sometimes.”

The 22-year-old from Murrieta, California, has a diverse racing career. He won a Hawaii state go-karting championship in 2005. He has raced in motocross, off-road trucks, UTVs, and road racing cars. He competed in the Pirelli World Challenge Touring Car series before moving to stock cars and NASCAR.

His trip to Sonoma Raceway's 1.99-mile road course was not his first. It is why he was so successful on the difficult track. The field included Daniel Suarez and Ryan Blaney, drivers from the NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series. Rodgers kept his car in front of Suarez and Blaney for the entire race.

“To put my name in front of guys like Kevin Harvick, Suarez, and Blaney was pretty awesome,” Rodgers said. “The weekend started off really well that way. It was definitely the highlight of the year so far. It was pretty great.”

Chasing down Harvick was another story. While Rodgers was able to keep pace with the 2014 NASCAR Cup Series champion, he wasn’t able to pass him. Still, bringing the car home in second place was quite an accomplishment and a much needed boost after a little slump the past couple of weeks.

Will Rodgers led the first 26 laps of the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West race at Sonoma Raceway

“I think we made the right decision. That was definitely worth it.”

The next race for the NASCAR K&N Pro Series is at Iowa Speedway. It will pit the drivers and teams from the K&N Pro Series East and West in the same race.

“We’re going to be able to adapt quickly,” Rodgers said. “My hope is that we finish top five overall. I think we’re going to be able to do that as long as we don’t have any issues early on.”
