\"gdfgdfgdf\"<\/a>SHREWSBURY, Mass. (July 14, 2015) \u2013 Rob Fuller Motorsports and 15-40 Connection will get two rounds of action at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in the modifieds this week as Ron Silk will compete in the All-Star Shootout and the New Hampshire 100.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to have Ron driving the No. 15 at Loudon. He\u2019s got a ton of experience there including two wins. This weekend we\u2019ll be focusing on getting our car in Victory Lane for 15-40 Connection,\u201d said Rob Fuller, team owner. \u201cCorey (LaJoie) has been busy with the Super Late Model program and travel has become time consuming. So we are planning to run one car for a majority of the NWMT races. But, when the schedule is open and there are no conflicts with the Super Late Models, we\u2019ll get Corey back in the modified and run two cars at a few races.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Silk has a solid track record at New Hampshire Motor Speedway \u2013 in 22 starts he\u2019s completed 93.5% of his laps and has led 300 laps. The Norwalk, Conn. driver has two career wins at Loudon as well as nine Top-5s and 14 Top-10s to his credit.<\/p>\n

The All-Star Shootout will take place on Friday, July 17 and will include drivers from both the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and NASCAR Southern Modified Tour in a 40-lap battle for modified bragging rights. Silk finished fourth last year in the inaugural race and looks forward to his second shot at a win.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was kind of a bummer last year,\u201d recalled Silk. \u201cI won the first segment and then with the invert I had to start back in 10th and try to move my way up. It\u2019s a great track and any extra chances we get to race there is a plus. So, I\u2019m really looking forward to this race again.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Saturday, July 18 the NWMT will run its points race at the Magic Mile, which is considered by many to be one of the best races of the season. Last year, Silk started on the pole and finished ninth in this event.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the biggest track we race on and the only place we run a restrictor plate at \u2013 so it makes the draft important,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s just a totally different kind of racing for us. The field is bunched together and it makes for great racing. I\u2019m confident it the car and it\u2019s one of my better tracks so I think we\u2019ll be really good!\u201d<\/p>\n

Rob Fuller Motorsports team will promote the 15-40 Connection mission to raise awareness of the important role everyone has in detecting cancer early at the race track.<\/p>\n

In addition to being on the RFM race car at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, race fans may also see the 15-40 Connection branding and early cancer detection message featured on a Peter Pan Bus in the New England area. The recently announced partnership includes a bus wrap that features 15-40 Connection branding as well as three young adult cancer survivors, asking commuters the question, \u2018would you recognize a cancer symptom?\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope modified race fans will get to see the 15-40 Connection bus as they enjoy their time in the New England area this weekend,\u201d said Tricia Laursen, Executive Director of 15-40 Connection. \u201cIf fans spot the bus, we\u2019re asking them to take a photo and post on social media, tag us (@1540connection), and use the hashtag #peterpanempowersNE to share the message of early cancer detection.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
