“Stewart-Haas Racing has an incredibly successful history and we’re looking forward to WIX Filters technology contributing to even more of that history as the 2018 season unfolds,” said Jennifer Gibson, brand manager, WIX Filters. “It’s a point of pride when crew members working on the racecars come up and tell you they like using your products and they have great confidence that WIX Filters will get the job done every weekend.”

WIX Filters will have brand identification beneath the hoods of SHR’s Ford Fusions in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and its Ford Mustangs in the NASCAR XFINITY Series.

Efficiency equals horsepower, and you can never have enough horsepower.”
