ROB FULLER
AND EDDIE HARVEY PARTNER FOR NWMT BRISTOL RACE
NWMT Rookie of the Year Chase Dowling to Drive the No. 11
Entry |
A
new partnership is on the horizon as NASCAR Whelen
Modified Tour (NWMT) car owners Rob Fuller and Eddie
Harvey have joined forces for the Bush’s Beans 150
at Bristol Motor Speedway on August 16. Chase
Dowling will drive a LFR modified in the race, his
fifth NWMT event this season.
“Bristol has always been one of my favorite tracks
so I'm looking forward to bringing Chase Dowling
down there and run him in Eddie Harvey's LFR car,”
said Fuller. “Eddie always keeps his cars in
meticulous condition and has a bunch of great guys
on his race team. I don't see any reason why we
can't run as competitive as we have been running in
every race we've entered this year and maybe pull
off a win at the end of the night.”
Long-time NWMT car owner Eddie Harvey had an opening
in the No. 11, which is an LFR modified that Fuller
built.
“I had been talking with Rob about running Chase in
the car and I’m glad the pieces finally came
together to have it work out,” said Harvey. “Bristol
will be our first race with this partnership and I’m
hoping it works well and we can do more. Chase is a
young man with a ton of talent and I’m looking
forward to working with him.”
Dunleavy, LFR, Vestal Buick GMC and Davis Roofing
will sponsor the car at Bristol Motor Speedway.
“Bristol is a great race track for our team,” said
Harvey. “We have a southern modified win there and a
handful of Top-10 finishes. We’ve been on the verge
of winning a couple of times. Should be a good combo
with Rob and Chase part of the team.”
Dowling, a Roxbury, Conn. native, became the
youngest Rookie of the Year award winner in NASCAR
Whelen Modified Tour history in 2015 at the age of
17. In his three years competing in the NWMT, he has
secured six Top-5 finishes and 17 Top-10 finishes.
“I’m looking forward to going to Bristol,” said
Dowling. “In the past, we had good runs in
family-owned equipment, but now with having an
experienced crew chief that I get along and
communicate well with has made us a contender to win
in all of the races we’ve entered this year so far.”
Dowling has two races under his belt at Bristol
Motor Speedway both resulting in Top-15 finishes. A
seventh-place finish in his 2015 rookie year and a
13th-place finish the following year.
“I’m also excited to be teaming up with Eddie Harvey
for Bristol,” continued Dowling. “He has top-notch
equipment and wants to win. Having two owners that
have the same mindset to win and bringing fast race
cars to the track will only lead to success. The
goal at Bristol is to be in contention to win,
that’s the reason we race.”
The Bush’s Beans 150 will take place at Bristol
Motor Speedway on Wednesday, August 16 at 6 p.m. ET.
