BROADVIEW, Ill. — Twenty-five years ago, Purolator filters and Hendrick Motorsports teamed up for the first time in NASCAR racing. In 2009, the two industry leaders have partnered once again for the upcoming NASCAR racing season.
As a result of this partnership, Purolator will be the exclusive supplier of oil and air filters for the entire Hendrick Motorsports team, including NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin and three-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson.
In 2009, Purolator will supply Hendrick Motorsports and JR Motorsports with oil and air filters for use in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and NASCAR Nationwide Series. Though engineered specifically for racing purposes, these filters share many features with those found in Purolator’s top-of-the-line PureOne oil and air filters for everyday cars.
