LFR DRIVER
DEVELOPMENT GROUP ANNOUNCED
Fuller, Eury Jr., Fultz & Stone Lead Coaching Team |
Today, LFR Chassis has announced the formation of
the LFR Driver Development Group, a company that
will provide professional and experienced coaching
with state of the art race cars for developing
drivers in all late model and modified divisions
nationwide.
The
company’s goal is to provide top-level racing
experience and equipment to drivers looking to
progress through the motorsports ranks. LFR Chassis
has quickly made a mark in the short track racing
industry by providing top notch equipment along with
a racing staff that is unparalleled in the industry.
Four racing veterans will lead the group: Rob
Fuller, Tony Eury Jr., Jeff Fultz and Ryan Stone.
From Daytona International Speedway to Hickory Motor
Speedway, these racing veterans have collectively
won more than three dozen championships and over 700
victories at the highest level of motorsports,
bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to new
drivers.
Rob Fuller, owner of LFR Chassis, was born into a
racing family, but made a name for himself in NASCAR
by winning at the top levels as a driver, engineer,
and pit crew member for teams including Penske
Racing and Dale Earnhardt, Inc. Fuller’s 25 years of
racing experience and innovative approach to
building racecar chassis led to the creation of LFR
Chassis.
Tony Eury Jr. is the competition director at LFR
Chassis and brings over 20 years of experience
working at the top levels of NASCAR as a crew chief,
car chief, mechanic and tire changer. He has lead
the top teams in motorsports – including Dale
Earnhardt, Inc., Hendrick Motorsports and JR
Motorsports – to numerous wins and championships.
Jeff Fultz has 30 years of experience in racing as a
driver, car chief and builder. He has 10
championships to his name and over 250 wins
throughout his career. Fultz is a three-time
champion and all time wins leader in the NASCAR All
Pro Series.
Ryan Stone is a championship winning crew chief in
the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour. He has been racing
for 18 years and has a decade of experience
specifically in modified racing as a driver, car
chief and crew chief.
“With the experience level of our coaches and
quality of equipment, we are taking a huge variable
out of the developmental stages of a driver’s
progression,” said Rob Fuller. “We have all wished
at some point of our career to have the best
equipment and most knowledgeable crew so we can test
our driving ability, and all that is under one roof.
We have worked closely with the NASCAR community
throughout our 20 plus year careers, and know what
it takes to succeed in this ultra-competitive
sport.”
The LFR Driver Development Group will utilize
equipment and racecars from LFR Chassis. These
chassis were designed and constructed by some of the
best racing minds in the industry. The group will
offer several different packages for all experience
levels.
“What will be great about our program is that we
will have entry level to pro level classes
available,” said Jeff Fultz. “Some drivers might
only drive a few races while others will continue
through a few seasons. All this depends on the
talent level shown throughout the year. We expect
this to be a high-profile driver development program
within the industry in a short amount of time. We’ve
made heads turn with our progress at LFR Chassis and
expect to do the same with this program.”
The LFR Driver Development Group will also offer
marketing and communications support for this next
generation of drivers. Nealie Stufflet, a veteran
NASCAR public relations professional, partnered with
LFR Chassis in its inception to offer PR, social
media and sponsorship services to its customers and
will do the same for the development drivers.
Interview skills training, media coaching and
landscape insight will also be offered.
“We created this group to help those looking for the
right place to find a combination of unparalleled
experience in NASCAR and top level equipment for
drivers looking to take their careers to the next
level,” said Fuller. “We have two drivers signed up
as of today and will announce the full team when all
seats are occupied.”
