Wix filters are the only filters officially licensed by Nascar. The Wix Filters has made a new cabin air filtration system designed to protects drivers’ respiratory systems from particulate matter, like dust, soot and rubber; noxious fumes, gas and oil vapors, and most importantly, carbon monoxide.

In the racing industry, carbon monoxide exposure is a serious problem. Carbon monoxide is a tasteless, odorless gas that binds with hemoglobin in the blood. It reduces the amount of oxygen transported to body tissues and other vital organs such as the brain and heart.

Technology and protection by the Wix filters are available to the entire racing community. WIX Filters hold the U.S. patent application for the filtration system on file with the U.S. Patent Office. This is because of an agreement with Joe Gibbs Racing to manufacture and sell these U.S. Patent Pending air filtration system units to other race teams.

The wix filters are designed to make clean air through a good air conditioning systems. Designed and tested by WIX Filters and Joe Gibbs Racing, This new filtration system cleans the air that comes through to the driver by way of his or her helmet. The air flows in through an air intake in the passenger side window and passed through an air inlet hose into the filtration system. The incoming air is then “scrubbed” of carbon monoxide by small catalyst beads, which are accepted by NASCAR for Joe Gibbs Racing. The “scrubbed” air then passes through a WIX cabin air filter where soot, debris and fumes are captured. The clean air then passes through an air conditioning system where it is cooled and finally sent to the driver.

There are many auto stores now are carrying the Wix filters. If you need an air cleaner filter for your car, the Wix filters may be your choice. You will get some benefits of the wix filters that will be translated into more exciting racing for the fans.
