Note that this was for a semifinal finish, which is awarded above and beyond their monetary postings for win/ru. Having a race car (or two), a tow vehicle, and a street car, there are enormous opportunities to use K&N oil filters, air filters, and air intake assemblies. They do a tremendous amount for sportsman racing, and I for one am very appreciative.

It's the appreciation and patronage of companies that support drag racing that makes them economically viable means of marketing.

On different note, I think it says a great deal for Ford to represent themselves here in public, too. I had the pleasure of meeting Jesse at Indy last year. Young, enthusiastic, and genuinely passionate about the sport. They have a great liason that readily sets them apart.
