“K&N has become a part of the CJM Racing family and we are very pleased that they have signed on to become the primary sponsor in California. Our relationship continues to grow and we’re looking forward to what the future brings,” stated co-owner of CJM Racing Tony Mullet.

K&N Engineering is the inventor and leading innovator of reusable cotton gauze filter technology for automotive applications. From humble beginnings as a family run business over 35 years ago, K&N Engineering, now a truly global company with offices in the U.K. and the Netherlands, continues to exist as a family owned business with an enthusiast mindset and a direct connection with motor sports.

“We’re thrilled to be associated with CJM Racing as they compete in the NASCAR Nationwide Series on our hometown track at the California Speedway. Our hallways have photos from the 1970’s of retired NASCAR drivers running K&N air filters at the old Riverside Raceway, so it seems only fitting that the K&N logo is once again storming around a California Speedway,” exclaimed Steve Rogers, CEO of K&N Engineering. “We’re pulling for CJM Racing to drive our logo right into the winner’s circle.”

The No. 11 K&N Chevrolet will compete in the Camping World RV Service 300 this Saturday, August 30th. The race will air live on ESPN2 at 9:45 pm (EST).
