WIX Racing Filters

<h3>A Filtration Legacy Built on the Racetrack</h3><p><strong>WIX Racing Filters</strong> is one of the most decorated names in automotive filtration, with a heritage stretching back to 1939 when founders Jack Wicks and Paul Crenshaw began making car filters out of a cotton mill in Gastonia, North Carolina. What started as a modest operation quickly transformed into an industry-changing enterprise. By 1954, WIX engineers had patented the spin-on oil filter — a design so effective it was eventually adopted as original equipment on most passenger vehicles worldwide.</p><p>Today, WIX is part of the MANN+HUMMEL family of brands — a global filtration leader — and manufactures filters across automotive, diesel, agricultural, industrial, and specialty markets. The brand's catalog spans over 16,000 products, and its filters are produced across facilities in multiple countries on five continents. What has never changed is the company's core philosophy: build premium filters that exceed performance demands, regardless of the application.</p><h3>From Grassroots Racing to NASCAR's Pinnacle</h3><p>WIX's involvement in motorsports is not merely a marketing exercise — it is a proven engineering laboratory. WIX engineers work directly alongside racing professionals to refine filter designs under the most punishing conditions imaginable: extreme heat, high RPMs, relentless vibration, and abrasive dirt and debris. This real-world validation feeds directly back into the products that everyday drivers rely on.</p><p>That dedication to racing has earned remarkable trust at the highest levels of competition. WIX Filters are used by the vast majority of cars in the NASCAR Cup Series, as well as teams in the Xfinity Series and Craftsman Truck Series. The brand has also served as the preferred filter of the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series and is a national sponsor of the NTPA — the premier sanctioning body for truck and tractor pulling. From drag strips to dirt ovals and off-road courses, WIX Racing Filters are engineered to keep engines alive where others might fail.</p><h3>A Complete Racing Filtration Lineup</h3><p>The WIX Racing product lineup covers every critical filtration need for competition and high-performance vehicles. <a href="/1320-wix-racing-filters-air-filter-6192">WIX Racing Air Filters</a> are designed to deliver consistent, unrestricted airflow to demanding racing engines — helping them breathe freely under full-throttle conditions. <a href="/1320-wix-racing-filters-engine-oil-filter-5340">WIX Racing Engine Oil Filters</a> are engineered to protect engines operating at extreme RPMs and temperatures, ensuring clean oil circulation when it matters most.
