K&N BACKS FLETCHER FOR 2009

K&N Engineering has announced a primary sponsorship agreement with three-time national champion Dan Fletcher. A 56-time national event winner who is ranked in the top 10 on NHRA's all-time win list, Fletcher will compete in Comp, Super Stock, and Stock during the 2009 NHRA season.

"We are extremely pleased to add Dan Fletcher to the K&N family," said Steve Williams, vice president of PE & RD at K&N Engineering. "Dan is a proven winner whose record speaks for itself. His outgoing personality has also made him one of drag racing's most recognizable Sportsman drivers, and we believe he is a perfect representative for our company."

K&N Filters will be the primary sponsor of the matching '69 Chevy Camaro entries that Fletcher races in Super Stock and Stock and will be an associate sponsor of a third entry, the Rick Braun-owned Chevy Cobalt that Fletcher drove to the 2008 NHRA Lucas Oil Comp championship.

"I'm honored to have the opportunity to represent K&N Filters," said Fletcher. "For more than a decade, I have made my living as a professional racer, and in order to continue doing that, I need to have a marketing partner, and I believe that K&N is a perfect fit for my program. During my career, I've been fortunate enough to win three championships and more than 50 national events, and K&N products have been with me every step of the way."

In addition to its support of Fletcher, K&N's involvement in NHRA Drag Racing includes the sponsorship of the K&N Horsepower Challenge, a special event for Pro Stock drivers held each year in Norwalk at the NHRA Full Throttle event, the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals. K&N, which is celebrating its 40th year of operation in 2009, is also a major NHRA three-category contingency sponsor and is a recognized leader in performance air and oil filters and developing new hood-scoop technology.
