K&K RACE TEAM AND FRAM - TEAM UP AGAIN IN 2004

Over the past 9 seasons Canadian racers and fans have become accustomed to associating the K&K Race Team (Kevin Wicke & Kevin Zimmer) and Fram as a formidable team. The team is pleased to announce they have re-signed Fram to be their primary marketing partner again in 2004 with a couple of big changes. In the past the team has dealt with strictly the Canadian branch of Fram, not the case this season. This season support will be coming from both sides of the border and will be on a much larger scale. Through this season and hopefully many more the racers and fans south of the border will soon come to associate this team with quality and success both on the track and in the automotive aftermarket industry. The team will be competing in the IHRA Hooters World and Pro-Am points series in Top Sportsman.

"Being a Canadian based team in a primarily U.S. base series makes it very difficult when it comes to finding a marketing partner. We are very fortunate to have the support of Fram behind us. As a team we are committed to showcasing the Fram brand to many new people in many new markets and I can't think of a better platform to accomplish this than the IHRA Hooters Drag Racing series." says Crew Chief and Marketing Director, Kevin Zimmer. Fram has always been a player in motorsports over the years. Brian Holliday, Vice President of Fram states, "Fram has been a big supporter of both sportsman and professional racers throughout North America for a long time. Our association with racing fans helped Fram design and manufacture filters that meet and exceed performance standards for everyday driving. Fram will continue to be at all levels of the sports."

Fram has long been considered the market leader in the automotive filter market. They have been producing quality filters since the 1930's and with their sister brands AUTOLITE and PRESTONE make them a leader in the automotive aftermarket and car care markets. Along with FRAM the team has resigned many other long time associate sponsors including Parts Pro, Synergyn Oil, RPM Classifieds, Ron's Precision Machine, Erie Drive-In and Perth Auto Dismantlers.
