is the ultimate challenge for many automotive parts," said Greg
Gyllstrom, vice president of Visteon and president of North
American and Asian Aftermarket Operations. "The fact that 100
percent of the field at Daytona relied on Visteon radiators says a
great deal about our commitment to design, technology, performance
and technical advancement." Visteon's radiators are designed and
engineered to meet the racing industry's demand for more cooling
capacity in a smaller size. The radiator cores Visteon produces for
racing include a high-efficiency design requiring less airflow to
transfer the same amount of heat as a standard radiator. Visteon's
design uses dimpled tubes to increase the swirling action of the
coolant, resulting in a faster, more efficient transfer of heat. In
addition, Visteon has added louvers to the fin surface, increasing
the ability to transfer heat away from the engine. This leading
technology is shared by the original equipment quality replacement
radiators Visteon manufactures for everyday cars and trucks.
Visteon's automotive innovations and technical expertise extends to
other racing components. Visteon's 9-inch racing gears performed
flawlessly during Daytona's 2004 Speedweeks with five victories.
The well-known Sterling racing gears are manufactured in Visteon's
global gear laboratory in Sterling Heights, Michigan. Visteon's
participation in the racing industry includes business
relationships with NASCAR and leading distributors. C&R Racing
is the exclusive radiator distributor to the racing industry and
Sterling-racing gears are available through Racing Parts
Distributors, Inc. Visteon's Officially Licensed NASCAR Performance
radiators aftermarket product line is available through a variety
of traditional aftermarket distributor channels to the public.
