Gainesville: Ron Capps preview

RON CAPPS TO RUN NAPA FILTERS CAR IN GAINESVILLE

BROWNSBURG, Ind. (March 8, 2010) - As part of a NAPA AUTO PARTS March promotion, Ron Capps will drive the NAPA Filters Dodge Charger Funny Car at the 41st annual NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, Fla., March 12-14, the third event of the 2010 NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series.

During March, consumers will receive a free NAPA racing cap with any purchase at participating NAPA AUTO PARTS stores (while supplies last), and will get 40 percent off the regular price of NAPA Gold Filters (air/oil/fuel/cabin air). At NAPA AutoCare Centers or any installer using NAPA parts, consumers will get a $20 mail-in rebate when purchasing a NAPA Gold Air or Cabin air filter in conjunction with an oil change using a NAPA Gold or ProSelect oil filter.

"I've been talking about the NAPA Know How that has helped us get to the final round in Pomona and to the quarterfinals in Phoenix, in the first two races of the 2010 season," said Capps, who is third in the point standings, "and that's the theme this season. NHRA racing fans should take advantage of this promotion and root us on in Gainesville. We won the race in Topeka last year with the Adaptive One Brakes NAPA body, so we're hoping for the same results with the NAPA Filters body."

"We are looking forward to seeing Ron run the NAPA Filters paint scheme this weekend at the Gatornationals. We couldn't think of a better place to showcase the above promotions than this historic event. We hope the fans enjoy the paint scheme and are able to take advantage of our special offers during the month of March," commented Mike Rearden, NAPA's Director of Events/Sponsorships.
