MOTORSPORTS PREPARED FOR BATTLE AT BRISTOL
Silk to Pilot the 15-40 Connection Modified in Combined
WMT-WSMT Bush's Beans 150 |
 Rob
Fuller Motorsports is ready to race against some
fresh faces this week, as driver Ron Silk and the
team gets ready to compete in the combined NASCAR
Whelen Modified Tour (NWMT) and NASCAR Whelen
Southern Modified Tour (NWSMT) race at Bristol Motor
Speedway on August 19.
“I'm looking forward to getting back to the track
with the 15-40 team after the break I took last
week,” said Rob Fuller, team owner. “This is
probably one of my favorite races and tracks. When
the Northern and Southern teams meet the competition
is super tight and the racing is better than ever.
It's a win-win for the series and the drivers so I'm
looking forward to it.”
Silk is no stranger to success at Bristol Motor
Speedway. In just six starts at the track he’s
secured one win, two Top-5s and four Top-10s.
“It's really incredible how fast you go at Bristol
given that it’s only half a mile long. It’s also fun
to get the opportunity to race on a track that you
watched the Sprint Cup guys race on while growing
up,” said Silk. “We really struggled last week at
Thompson Speedway, so I expect to rebound and have a
great shot at the win at Bristol.”
With the fresh competition comes a sense of
excitement for Silk. The NWMT does not get to race
against the NWSMT often, so the opportunity to do so
is significant. The last time Silk saw some of these
competitors was during the All-Star Shootout at New
Hampshire Motor Speedway in July.
“It’s a lot of fun racing the NWSMT guys because we
end up having a field of 45 cars,” Silk explained.
“The southern series guys have really stepped up
their game over the last few years, and I’m sure
they’ll be right in the thick of things this time
around.”
Partnering with 15-40 Connection for the third year
in a row, the two organizations are working to
change the way people think about their health,
especially among the younger generation. More than
75,000 teens and young adults (ages 15-40) are
diagnosed with cancer each year in the United
States. Despite the frequency, improvements in
cancer survival rates for 15 to 40-year-olds have
barely improved since 1975. 15-40 Connection is
working to change that by urging young people to use
three simple steps to tell if they would recognize a
cancer symptom.
Step one is knowing your normal energy level, sleep
patterns, weight, bathroom habits, motor control,
and skin complexion. Step two is realizing if there
is a subtle change in your normal health that lasts
two or more weeks and notifying your doctor. After
all, your best chance at survival is you! Step three
asks you to share what you know with your doctor.
This leads to earlier diagnoses and more effective
treatments.
