MOTORSPORTS ANNOUNCES TODD SZEGEDY AS 2016 DRIVER
Szegedy to Compete in Select 2016 NASCAR Whelen Modified
Tour Races |

Fuller Motorsports (RFM) is proud to announce the
return of Todd Szegedy to its driver lineup for
2016. Szegedy will pilot the 15-40 Connection
Modified for select NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour
(NWMT) races this season.
Szegedy, a 19-time winner and 2003 NWMT Champion,
raced for RFM in 2014 and is excited to return this
season for a number of reasons.
“For me it was a combination of a few things – I
want the freedom not be locked into a full season
schedule,” said Szegedy. “Also, this is an awesome
opportunity to race at tracks that I really enjoy
running at and I’ll be in top notch equipment with
LFR Chassis. We can go there with the opportunity to
win every race we enter. That combination was
appealing to me.”
Team owner Rob Fuller is enthusiastic about having
Szegedy back.
“It’s great to have Todd back in the RFM camp for
sure,” said Fuller. “Ron Silk had an opportunity to
do more races than we wanted to commit to so I'm
also proud to have provided a platform for him to
showcase his talents to keep him in the minds of the
modified owners.”
“Todd and I kept in touch and he would bring up how
good the LFR cars drove and how much he loved to
drive them,” continued Fuller. “He was a big piece
of the LFR puzzle when we started the company and
its great to have him back. We will use him to run a
few different LFR cars throughout the year. We have
a plan to have him in a SK a couple times and
possibly a couple Super races as well. We will have
fun this year which is a high priority on both our
lists!”
15-40 Connection will continue its partnership with
RFM entering its third year with the team. 15-40
Connection is a non-profit organization driving a
new cancer conversation. It starts with a simple yet
powerful question “would you recognize a cancer
symptom?” and teaches three simple steps to help you
recognize potential warning signs of cancer.
“We are very excited to be working with Rob and the
team again in 2016,” said Tricia Laursen, Executive
Director of 15-40 Connection. “Partnering with them
has been an amazing opportunity to bring 15-40
Connection’s education to race fans. We’re glad to
be back with them, and to have Todd on board.”
Szegedy enjoys the opportunity to push the envelope
and try new things on the race track. In 2014 he was
the primary driver for the new LFR Chassis in the
modified series and worked closely with Fuller to
build the first competition notebook for the team.
“I felt that we had a small part in building the
modified competition notebook for LFR Chassis and it
helped the teams out at the tracks, even Doug Coby
and the No. 2 last year (2015 NWMT Champions). I
felt that we had a part in that. I like where LFR is
heading – they have talented people and great race
cars that are winning. That’s cool to be a part of.
”
More details on the RFM race schedule will be
released soon. For more information, please visit
