As one of the largest companies in the performance industry, MAHLE Aftermarket has a number of divisions that produce a wide variety of performance parts. The MAHLE Aftermarket division is home to Clevite Engine Bearings and MAHLE Original Piston Rings, all of which were on board a number of champions in the motorsports world this season.

The weekend of November 15-16 was a banner one for the company, as champions in four different racing classes  took their respective titles with MAHLE components on board. In NASCAR Sprint Cup, Kevin Harvick took home the series championship trophy after a hard-fought battle with Ryan Newman, whom he outlasted by a single point to take home the title.
