Southpaw Actress Caitlin O’Connor Stars in K&N Calendar

Caitlin O'Connor appeared in the 2015 star-studded movie <i>Southpaw</i> before work

Caitlin O'Connor appeared in the 2015 star-studded movie Southpaw before working with K&N

Southpaw is an action packed film starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Rachel McAdams. It centers around the world of boxing. In this drama, there are piles of money, flashing lights, bloody black eyes, and pretty ring girls. K&N Calendar model, Caitlin O’Connor, stars in the movie as the lead ring girl. She has multiple cameos in the film: standing beside an announcer inside the ring, smiling behind 50 Cent in one scene, and toting a numbered card around the ring. Caitlin shares, “I spent two weeks on set near my hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I even got to bring my grandmother to set as a background actor in the audience for the boxing scenes!”

This experience was exciting, but nothing new for Caitlin. She has worked as a TV host for Maxim, Arsenic TV, and the Chive. She has also modeled for Target and Macy’s. Life in front of the camera is familiar and comfortable for this Pennsylvania native. She also works on social media brand partnerships. Perhaps the most exciting tidbit, Caitlin tells us, “I am producing four feature films.” This girl is on her way to superstardom.

Caitlin grew up in Pittsburgh. She had a pretty typical childhood. She attended school, finished homework, and watched TV. When Caitlin was a young girl, she was obsessed with SciFi. She enjoyed "Dawson’s Creek" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Soon enough, she caught the acting bug.

She attended Uniontown Area High School where she cheered. She also took dance classes. Caitlin comments, “I hated going to class and graduated high school six months early to start attending UCLA.” Here, at university, she was a member of Pi Beta Phi and Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society. An English major, she spent her days reading and writing, but another path was waiting just ahead.

Caitlin broke into the world of modeling through an opportunity at UCLA. She was a Bruins Bear Wear model. For this first gig, she was only 18 years old. Bruins Bear Wear gave way to bigger things, and Caitlin soon found herself with a bevy of clients. Again, her resume is packed with big-name brands—Maxim, The Chive, Target, Macy’s, K&N, and many others.

Now in Los Angeles, California, Caitlin is constantly working. Always on the job, she lists her hobbies as, “sleeping, working, sleeping.” She is committed to her career, but not afraid to treat herself. She admits, “The day I got my first big paycheck, I bought a classic car—a 1971 Lincoln Continental.” A spitfire with a solid work ethic and bright future, Caitlin O'Connor will continue to be successful in sunny L.A. and the world over.

Denny Hamlin Wins Overton's 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway

Denny Hamlin broke through and secured a spot in the 10 race postseason playoff, with his win at New Hampshire in the Overton’s 301. Hamlin battled, entering the race with his backup car after a crash during practice the Friday before, and beating Kyle Larson by .509 seconds.

"Yeah, it’s just a great feeling," Hamlin said. "I know we’ve been getting better and better as the year goes on, but definitely needed a win for the organization and for myself and just kind of get some momentum going with the playoffs coming up—so we’ve got to get going. Really this is awesome.”

Hamlin broke a 20 race drought with this win, stemming all the way back to last season’s playoff event at Texas Motor Speedway. This was his third win at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and the 30th win of his career. Hamlin passed teammate Matt Kenseth and had a 2.5-second advantage on Lap-268. Hamlin led twice for 54 laps and received 5 playoff points and 51 points for the win.

“I feel like I have been a good teammate to all my teammates, I like the dynamic that we have now and that we will have later,” Hamlin said when asked about his Joe Gibbs Racing team and what it takes to lead in this sport. “We have some young talent coming in and they will be the future. You just have to lead by example and show the work ethic that it takes to be a winner on a weekly basis and that infectious atmosphere blends in.”

Kyle Larson finished in second place, a remarkable finish considering he started the race from the rear of the field due to an illegal rear decklid fin and his qualifying time wiped out. Larson, who was faster than any car during the race, could not close the gap close enough to really attack Hamlin and finished in second for the seventh time this season.

“Finished second, but another hard-fought race,” Larson said. “You know, this is the third time we've had to start last and drove up to second. I wish we could have been a spot better again, but really proud of my team and proud of the cars that they're bringing for me to drive each and every week.”

“It seems like we have a target on our back,” Larson said. “But that's a good thing, too. It means everybody is paying attention to us. This is my fourth year, and I've never been in the position to where NASCAR and other teams are paying so much attention to our race car. That's a compliment to everybody at our race shop.”

Martin Truex Jr. finished in third place, and led for the first 78 laps of the race, finishing in first place at the end of stage one for his 14th stage win of the season. Truex caught a caution when Cole Whitt’s engine blew the field, and an unscheduled pit stop for a blown tire cost him the race.

Martin Truex Jr currently sits in first place of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Standings with 758 points and 29 playoff points. Kyle Larson is in second place, 38 points behind Truex with 720 points and 13 playoff points. Kyle Busch is in third place, with 650 points and 5 playoff points.

The next race in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will be the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Sammy Halbert Wins X Games Gold and Fights for American Flat Track Top 3

Fresh off an X Games gold medal and in a battle for a top three finish in Pro American Flat Track, K&N-sponsored Sammy Halbert is a verified force on the fast dirt oval. Here is a look at what makes the rising star tick.

It Runs in the Family

Some fortunate people are said to have been born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Well, Sammy Halbert may have been born with a silver steel boot on his left foot. Okay, maybe not. However, flat track racing is certainly a family affair in the Halbert home.

“My mom, dad, and grandpa all used to race flat track,” Halbert told K&N. “We always had bikes around. Then when I was ten and my older brother Jethro was twelve, we decided we wanted to get into racing, and from there that’s what we did as a family pretty much every weekend.”

Clearly, foot dragging, dirt roosting, and checker flag chasing runs deep in Halbert’s DNA.

X Games Gold

Halbert finished with an impressive 2nd in the inaugural Harley-Davidson X Games Flat Track competition in 2015 in Austin, Texas. In 2016, the X Games competition returned to Austin but Halbert finished with what was surely a disappointing 12th.

Halbert celebrates his win in the 2017 X Games

Halbert found gold in the Minneapolis, Minnesota X Games

This year’s X Games Flat Track was staged in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the change in venue brought with it precious metal results for Halbert. He passed last year’s champion Jared Mees early in the race and went on to run away from the field on his Estenson Racing Harley-Davidson XR750.

"Winning X Games gold is like a dream come true for me and will be a weekend I never forget,” said Halbert.

American Flat Track Action

Halbert’s main racing gig is in the Professional American Flat Track circuit. In 2016, Halbert scored a win at Daytona I and racked up two additional podiums at Daytona II and the Circuit of the Americas. He finished the 2016 season with an encouraging fifth in the GNC1 points.

The 2017 AFT campaign has Halbert in a spirited battle for a season podium finish. After 11 rounds, Halbert is a single point behind Brad Baker for 3rd place overall in the series. He is the only rider that currently has a legitimate shot at breaking up the stranglehold that the Indian Wrecking Crew team currently has on AFT.

“I had a pretty consistent year going in AFT holding down third place in the championship until we had a mechanical at the Lima round,” Halbert said. “Since then I've closed back up on third place and hopefully can take that back over even while developing the Yamaha FZ-07 for flat track.”

The final rounds of the AFT season will tell the tale. Halbert is racing strong and is poised to ride the Estenson Racing Yamaha FZ-07 onto the season podium.

Into the Future

Halbert has the drive, determination, and talent to pursue excellence in several forms of motorcycle racing. However, for now, the ultra-competitive American Flat Track series is the full focus of his racing attention.

“At this point in my career, I'm only focused on flat track racing,” Halbert says. “I do enjoy doing road race and motocross track days though.”

K&N congratulates Sammy Halbert on his X Games win and his dogged pursuit of a top-three season in American Flat Track.

To help your Yamaha FZ-07 perform its best, take a look at the K&N YA-6814 direct replacement performance air filter. Sammy trusts K&N performance and protection, and so should you.
