K&N supported Team Faith won its first ever National Championship in the GNCC Lites Limited UTV Class in Crawfordsville, Indiana driving a Yamaha Rhino. Team Faith entered the round, one point away from the series lead. “We worked hard all week to get the Yamaha 700 Rhino ready,” said Brian O’Rourke of Team Faith. “We knew the championship was on the line, but we were ready to race.”

The track was muddy and Team Faith made a last minute decision to run their ITP MudLite tires instead of the Terracross tread. “Both are awesome tires and provide great traction, but the MudLites have more of a tractor tread and work very well in deep mud,” said O’Rourke.

The Lites Limited class racers started twenty seconds apart. Team Faith drew a 2nd row starting position and managed to get the hole shot for its row. “We only had a clear track for a few moments before we caught up to traffic. Passing was impossible in the woods.”
