RIVERSIDE, CA—Compass360 Racing and K&N Filters today released details of their partnership for the 2008 racing season. K&N, a leading provider of race and street filter systems, will join Honda of America and Skunk2 as team partners this year.

“We were looking for a partner that understood our market,” explained James Yim, Business Manager at K&N. “Karl Thomson and the guys at Compass360 are in tune with the Street Tuner marketplace, and have competed successfully in Grand-Am for many seasons. They are an ideal fit for us.”

K&N will provide technical development for the C360R team, highlighting the improvements they can make in air and oil filtering, while featuring the team’s KONI Challenge cars in their advertising. An extensive, multimedia campaign is already underway, and includes ad placement in import tuner magazines like DSport, Sport Compact Car, Modified and others, as well as a number of on-line Tuner enthusiast publications.

“We’ve been using K&N products since I started racing,” noted Team Principal Karl Thomson. “We’re really excited to officially add another manufacturer of their calibre to our racing arsenal! From our early forays into club racing, we always used K&N products, and they definitely helped our performance. Now, as a professional championship-winning team, we’re proud to make use of K&N’s technical resources to help us keep ahead of the competition.”
