NFC racing is a family and friend
oriented fun activity that began in 2004 by
Wayne and Brian Chapin and friends as just a thought that
ultimately became a successful, respected race team. Wayne
used to race cars in the early 90’s with
his son Brian acting as his crew for him at
the age of 6, and now the father-son team has reversed their
roles. Supported by coworkers, friends, and family, in 2005
Wayne purchased the first car turning
it into the race-ready NFC 44 Superstock
for the 2006 Monadnock speedway season. After a smashing
start (Brian hit the wall pretty hard the first race), NFC
made themselves known to the rest of the
division and track as respected, competent
competitors, by running at the front of the pack on the track and in the points standings. As the season came to a
close, NFC earned the third in points standing
for the season and clinched the Rookie of
Year title.
After an amazing first season, NFC
returned for the 2007 season with one goal
in mind- living up to their name NFC: Next Future Champion.
The team started just as strongly as they finished the
previous season by running at the front of the pack
each week, and leading the points nearly all
season. What seemed to be a given, turned into the unexpected for the team. During one week of competition, the
team’s biggest, fellow competitor blew his
transmission, nearly ending his season.
Team NFC didn’t hesitate and gave the other team a spare
transmission they had with them, little did NFC know that
this act of kindness would bring both teams to
a fight to the finish in the last race.
While it would be nice to say that NFC came out on top, the
other team who received the gifted transmission ended up
tying in the points standing with the team for
1st place, but had one more win, so ultimately
NFC came in second for the season. While it would seem that the team was devastated, they weren’t- they were there to race and showed true
sportsmanship, and were ecstatic about the
phenomenal back to back seasons they ran.
With two amazing
seasons under their belt, NFC decided to look to new
horizons and challenges. The team
moved to Stafford Speedway in the Late Model division for
2008 as the # 47. Our first season
proved to be most successful. Brian learned the track quickly and ran
consistently. We finished our first season there with an impressive
9th points finish and Brian achieving the "Rookie of the Year"
title.
