MOTORSPORTS ANNOUNCES SECOND WHELEN MODIFIED CAR
Ron Silk to Drive the No. 40 15-40 Connection Chevrolet |
Rob Fuller Motorsports will run a second car in
select races during the 2015 NASCAR Whelen Modified
Tour (NWMT). Ron Silk will drive the No. 40 15-40
Connection Chevrolet for the team.
“I feel it is very important for us as a company to
continue to develop our product line,” said Rob
Fuller, owner of LFR Chassis and Rob Fuller
Motorsports. “Ronnie has a great deal of experience
in this division and will be a great pilot for our
car as we try different set ups and test different
packages and pass along the data to our LFR Chassis
customers.”
“This is an important year for LFR,” continued
Fuller. “We will have customers running for wins and
championships so it will be difficult for them to
test many things. It will be up to us to keep them
informed on updates and changes we make that will
improve their performance. Our goal is to continue
to test and prove theories without passing the
expense on to the customer; this will be a definite
advantage for us all. We will double-up on the
exposure for the 15-40 Connection as well so it’s a
win, win.”
Silk has a long history of success in the series, as
he was the 2011 NWMT Champion and has a total of
nine wins, 53 Top-5 and 83 Top-10 finishes. He
previously drove for RFM in the 2014 North-South
Shootout at Caraway Speedway where he finished
third. Silk most recently finished fourth overall in
the 2014 NWMT standings with five Top-5 and 11
Top-10 finishes.
“I’m really excited to partner with RFM and LFR
Chassis this season,” said Silk. “It was great to do
the North-South Shootout last year. I liked the way
the car drove and look forward to getting acclimated
with it more. It’s great to have the opportunity to
drive for a team with smart people working across
the organization such as Tony Eury Jr., Jeff Fultz,
Ryan Stone and Tony Eury Sr.”
“I went to Rob’s race season kick-off party and met
Mr. Coghlin and heard first-hand about 15-40
Connection’s mission to spread the message about the
benefits of early cancer detection,” continued Silk.
“It’s really cool to be able to represent them and
this great cause.”
Silk will be teammates with Corey LaJoie who will
pilot the No. 15 15-40 Connection Chevrolet in the
same seven NWMT events. The duo have strong family
ties dating back a generation.
“Corey’s father, Randy, is my godfather and my
father is Corey’s godfather,” explained Silk. “The
LaJoie family is from Connecticut and we’ve known
each other for a long time. My dad (Scott Silk)
worked on Randy’s cars at Danbury. So, this is
really cool for us to be teammates this year. It’s
going to be a lot of fun.”
This season marks the third year Rob Fuller
Motorsports and 15-40 Connection have teamed up to
increase awareness and empower individuals with the
lifesaving advantage of early cancer detection.
Together they are starting a new cancer conversation
that begins with a simple, yet powerful question
“Would you recognize a cancer symptom?” to the
forefront of public discussion.
