Capps' Funny Car to feature NAPA Filters theme at Gatornationals

Friday, March 02, 2012

Ron Capps' NAPA Auto Parts Funny Car will have a new look for the March 8-11 Tire Kingdom NHRA Gatornationals presented by NAPAFilters.com. The Don Schumacher Racing Dodge Charger R/T will help NAPA Auto Parts celebrate its March All You Need to Know NAPA Filters Big Event specials by sporting a special color scheme for the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series event in Gainesville.

NAPA Filters is saluting race fans this month with its March NAPA Auto Parts store promotions. A $19.99 oil change for do-it-yourselfers that includes a Silver NAPA Filters oil filter and five quarts of Valvoline conventional oil is only $12.99 at NAPA Auto Parts stores after a mail-in $7 rebate. The month-long event also offers customers an instant $10 rebate on a Gold NAPA air filter or EnvrioShield Cabin air filter with the purchase of an oil change only at select NAPA AutoCare Centers and other participating auto-repair facilities.

Consumers can learn all about NAPA Filters at NAPAFilters.com. The new website has information on selecting the right filters for your vehicles, tips on how to change them yourself, and how to find the closest NAPA Auto Parts store or service center.

When Capps drove the NAPA Platinum Filters Funny Car for Don Schumacher Racing last July, he won the NHRA Full Throttle event title at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma.
