After sponsoring Timothy Peters’ No. 17 Tundra at Daytona last weekend, K&N will be on Paludo’s No. 7 Toyota this weekend. K&N Engineering is the inventor and leading innovator of reusable cotton gauze filter technology for automotive applications. The 27-year-old Brazilian will make his first start at the 1-mile Phoenix International Raceway. But Paludo did make two starts at the 1.058-mile New Hampshire Motor Speedway in the K&N Pro Series last season, finishing fourth in the second race there. Plus, Paludo seems to have a knack for adapting quickly to new race tracks, as he has three top-10 finishes in only five career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series starts. Miguel Paludo’s fourth-place finish at Daytona propelled him to second place in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series points standings, two behind the leader. Paludo is also atop the Sunoco Rookie of the Year standings after earning Rookie of the Race honors at Daytona.(Red Horse Racing PR)(2-23-2011)
