Interchanges

Ann Arbor, Michigan, May 5, 2008 – Reaction has been over-whelmingly positive from grassroots race teams to MAHLE Clevite’s announcement earlier this year that the company would transition to the MAHLE white decal. The change from the Clevite blue decal is occurring throughout all NASCAR Series in 2008.

Mike David says even though the legendary blue Clevite decal has been replaced by the white MAHLE decal on the side of his No. 2 Bennett Lane Winery Toyota, it’s been “business as usual” with the bearings under the hood. David is the defending NASCAR Camping World Series West champion and is the current points leader for 2008. He grew up working at an auto parts store, selling Clevite bearings.
