As previously announced in a press release dated February 13th 2009, K&N Filters is coming to the aid of race teams in these tough economic times.  Beginning at the Lucas Oil Off Road Series' inaugural event, K&N Filters will be increasing the purse payout in the Unlimited 4 and Unlimited 2 Truck divisions.  The prize money will be increased for both race dates, April 4th and 5th at the Primm Valley Motorsports Complex.  First place finishers in both divisions will receive $15,000, second place finishers will be paid $10,000 and third place finishers will bring home $5,000.

"K&N Filters has been a serious supporter of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series from the beginning.  We know that the series has great potential and we are excited to be a part of it.  With the economy in the shape that it's in we realize that it is getting tougher for race teams to get to the track week in and week out, so K&N Filters wants to do something special to reward teams for all their hard work and dedication," said K&N Filters Vice President Steve Williams.
