GLENDORA, Calif. – NHRA officials have announced the extension of its partnership with K&N Filters, a leader in filtration technology, as the official filter and air intake of the NHRA.

K&N is celebrating 50 years in business by releasing our new K&N Washable Home Air Filter using breakthrough technology developed through racing.”
