“We’re thrilled to be partnering with K&N Filters,” said Carlson Moto Team Owner and Manager Chris Carlson. “They have an impressive history as a market leader in filtration and we’ve been using their products for many years with great success.”

“We continually look for partners that can help us get to the next level,” added Taylor Carlson Schroer, Marketing Manager for Carlson Moto. “We have been a lifetime user of K&N products. Their legacy in motorsports and racing ties into what we do on a day-to-day basis. We’ve seen them at races and it feels like a great fit. We’re really excited to represent K&N. We think we have a core advantage being a year round team. The demographics of both series is very similar and we think we can introduce more snowcross enthusiasts to K&N products.”
