History
K&N was founded by Ken Johnson and Norm McDonald in 1964. The name K&N came from the first letters in the founders' first names. Johnson and McDonald sold motorcycles and motorcycle parts and supported a K&N factory race team. Air filters soon became the primary focus of the company. In the late 1980s, K&N introduced a bolt-on performance air intake kit to replace the factory air box and air filter. K&N also released a line of Wrench-Off oil filters. K&N has maintained very active involvement in racing and motorsports throughout its history, including the NASCAR Pro Series East and West, and the King of the West 410 Sprint Car Series.
