Default oil filter question

I know this as been asked a lot, but i did do a search and didnt find anything about this.

Its time to change oil again, the first oil change i did was just a "oh god this oils nasty" change, so i just grabbed a FRAM from walmart. Now next oil change is due and i want to get a decent oil filter. I know the napa Gold filter is a rebranded Wix filter (its what i use on my bike) so thats good. But lookign on the site, theres also a napa NASCAR filter, but i dont know anything about it. The site says something about spin-flow... and from the pic, the oil holes are bigger, but does anyone know anything about them? or just stick with the Gold.

The regular WIX is fine, there's a warlmart brand filter that is cheap and one of the better ones out that. Can't remember the name.

I wouldn't worry about it too much unless you're participating in HPDE events every weekend. For a daily driver/occasional track car, as long as you change the oil regularly with decent oil your car will be just fine.

The Fram Tough Guard oil filter at Walmart is adequate as long as you do regular oil changes.
