SCORE WELCOME “K&N Engineering is a pillar in the foundation of off-road performance products and SCORE is honored to have this legendary company as part of our fabulous family of sponsor partners,” praised Jim Ryan, SCORE Vice-President of Marketing and Sales. “K&N is a global leader in the industry and its presence and product lines will escalate SCORE’s reach and impact even further, especially with its unparalleled marketing presence.” “This partnership will also elevate the overall SCORE series and racer exposure for the 2023 and season and hopefully beyond.

In the early 1960s, two motorcycle racers, Ken Johnson and Norm McDonald (K&N), developed a ground-breaking new idea for an air filter—one that could perform under the demands of dusty, dirty off-road environments. After numerous experiments, they discovered that an oiled cotton design allowed the filter to not only capture contaminants very efficiently, but also allowed it to be washed and reused, and the original K&N High-Flow Air Filter was born. Six decades later, K&N is still innovating, and offers the industry’s best intakes, filters, exhausts and more for performance enthusiasts looking for ultimate performance from their off-road trucks, powersports vehicles, and daily-driven commuter vehicles.
