\"gdfgdfgd\"<\/a>SHREWSBURY, Mass. (March 25, 2015) \u2013 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel it is very important for us as a company to continue to develop our product line,\u201d said Rob Fuller, owner of LFR Chassis and Rob Fuller Motorsports. \u201cRonnie 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an important year for LFR,\u201d continued Fuller. \u201cWe 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\u2019s a win, win.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really excited to partner with RFM and LFR Chassis this season,\u201d said Silk. \u201cIt 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\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI went to Rob\u2019s race season kick-off party and met Mr. Coghlin and heard first-hand about 15-40 Connection\u2019s mission to spread the message about the benefits of early cancer detection,\u201d continued Silk. \u201cIt\u2019s really cool to be able to represent them and this great cause.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cCorey\u2019s father, Randy, is my godfather and my father is Corey\u2019s godfather,\u201d explained Silk. \u201cThe LaJoie family is from Connecticut and we\u2019ve known each other for a long time. My dad (Scott Silk) worked on Randy\u2019s cars at Danbury. So, this is really cool for us to be teammates this year. It\u2019s going to be a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

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 \u201cWould you recognize a cancer symptom?\u201d to the forefront of public discussion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
