LFR Chassis Announces Expansion, Staff Addition

LFR Chassis is extending its current operations in the Northeast with a new facility, as well as the addition of longtime crew chief Jimmy Fuller to the staff.

LFR Chassis owner Rob Fuller has partnered with Bob Charland to open a 6,500-square-foot facility in Stafford, Connecticut, that will sell and service LFR Chassis. This opportunity builds upon what Eddie Flemke and his team has done to service LFR teams in the Northeast.

“We have big plans to help service our customers in the Northeast, and this is phase one in a three-phase process,” said Fuller. “Eddie Flemke has been instrumental in servicing the LFR teams in the Northeast and will continue to do so. We had six modifieds and one Super Late Model north of Pennsylvania last year. In 2016, we will have 10 modifieds and eight Supers, so to expect Eddie to be able to handle this all on his own was not feasible.”

“Eddie is a one-man show these days, and I do not want to overload him at this stage of his career,” continued Fuller. “He is still looking after his Raceworks customers as well, so he was all about getting some help to service the LFR customers. He will be at this facility at times to help while taking care of his shop down the road.”

Fuller said he is excited to expand his Northeast operations with Charland, who has retail experience and space available in the area. Both Fuller and Ryan Stone, head of modifieds at LFR Chassis, will be heavily involved in the Northeast operation.

“Bob Charland has really stepped up to the plate by providing the shop and his expertise in retail sales,” Fuller commented. “He has a great group already in place to handle sales and shipping while we will focus on providing the equipment and technical support to the Northeast region.”

And, as mentioned above, Rob Fuller’s uncle Jimmy Fuller, a longtime crew chief and veteran in the modified industry, will join LFR Chassis in the Northeast facility this year.
