Troyer, LFR To Form Manufacturing Partnership With GMS Race Cars, Tony Eury Jr. 

It’s a full circle situation happening for Troyer, LFR and TFR Distribution owner Rob Fuller. 

In recent years Fuller’s top competition in the Modified chassis building business was with the Mooresville, N.C. based Fury Race Cars. 

Now, the West Boylston, Mass. based Fuller is aligning with an original LFR employee who became a founding member at Fury. 

In May it was announced that longtime NASCAR crew chief Tony Eury Jr. was leaving Fury to become the Director of Chassis Development at the Statesville, N.C. based GMS Race Cars, and would lead the development of a Super Late Model chassis program at GMS. 

And now Eury will also get back into the business of Modified chassis construction. Fuller, in conjunction with Eury, will partner with GMS Race Cars to manufacture Troyer and LFR branded Modified chassis’. 

It was announced Monday that GMS Race Cars and TFR Distribution have partnered in a manufacturing agreement supporting the immediate production of Troyer and LFR Modifieds at GMS’ Statesville, North Carolina facility.

It’s a full circle moment for Eury and Fuller. When Fuller and Steve Leavitt originally developed and introduced the LFR chassis in 2015, Eury served as the company general manager.

According to a press release: “The partnership includes a defined pathway toward a formal, mutual dealer agreement, expanding support for Troyer and LFR Modifieds throughout the Southeast and GMS Late Models across the Northeast.

“The collaboration combines GMS Race Cars’ manufacturing infrastructure, tooling, and skilled workforce with Troyer and LFR’s established presence as icons in the Modified racing market. Together, the two organizations aim to increase production capacity, improve delivery timelines, and provide racers with consistent, high-quality support on and off the track.

“I’m excited to be involved in the Modified world again alongside TFR,” Eury said. “This is another racer-first partnership, which is something I care deeply about. I’ve worked with Modified drivers before, and I’m looking forward to supporting racers and series throughout the region with the same level of commitment we bring to our Late Model customers.”

Said Fuller: “This partnership is exciting on many levels. Back in 2014, I had a plan to raise the bar in short track racing, and Tony was one of the first people I called. We’ve built decades of trust and success together. What Maury Gallagher, Mike Beam, and Tony are building at GMS Race Cars provides the right platform to finish what we started. We have all the original Troyer and LFR jigs and fixtures, and with our team now operating from the GMS facility, the only real change is the address. The three brands working together allows us to deliver a level of quality, consistency, and racer support that short track racing has not seen before. I’m excited for what’s ahead in 2026 and beyond.”

According to a release: “The agreement allows TFR to scale production while maintaining the craftsmanship and attention to detail that customers expect, while GMS Race Cars expands its manufacturing footprint into the Modified segment. Both companies view the partnership as a strategic step toward a broader dealer relationship that will streamline sales, service, and customer support across regions.”
