The Driver Chris Igo Jr.Easton, Mass.
  • Chris is a 17-year-old racer from Easton,
    Massachusetts. Articulate and outgoing, Chris has
    gained the respect of both competitors and fans
    alike.
  • Starting his career in the rugged indoor karting
    leagues at Bostons F1 Motorsports facility,
    Chris won the championship in year two and
    decided it was time to move up.
  • In his first year in Seekonk Speedways Mini-Cup
    division, Chris had one Feature win and 17
    top-three finishes.

Plans for the 2009 season include Chris stepping
up to the NASCAR Whelen Weekly Racing Series
Sport Trucks under the guidance of the Team Full
Throttle NASCAR Driver Development Program.
Chris and his team support Alexs Lemonade Stand
Foundation for childhood cancer, and are also
donating all race winnings this season to the
Providence, R.I. Ronald McDonald House.
With the help of Team Full Throttle, Chris is on
a path to the Camping World East Series, with the
long-term goal of competing in one of the big
three series (NASCARs Camping World Truck
Series, Nationwide Series or Sprint Cup Series).

NASCAR Whelen Weekly Racing SeriesA final step
before reaching the big time
  • Competition in the NASCAR Whelen Weekly Racing
    Series is often the final step many professional
    race drivers make before moving to a national
    touring series such as NASCAR Camping World East
    or ARCA, which race on superspeedways and short
    tracks with television packages and national
    audiences.
  • The NASCAR Whelen Series race stock cars and
    trucks on short-track ovals under one mile in
    length. NASCAR sanctions speedways that race
    these cars and trucks in all parts of America.
    Tracks that feature the NASCAR Whelen Series
    include some of the most well-known, recognized
    speedways in the country, including Stafford
    Springs, Conn. Seekonk, Mass. Hickory, N.C.
    and South Boston, Va.
  • NASCAR sport trucks are produced by a number of
    chassis manufacturers. The bodies are generally
    Chevrolet, Ford, and Dodge models. The sport
    trucks are powered by small block V8 engines with
    around 250 horse power, the majority being
    Chevrolets.
  • A number of top NASCAR drivers raced in the
    NASCAR Whelen Series, including Jeff Burton, Dale
    Earnhardt, Jr., Kevin Harvick, and Denny Hamlin.
    Chris Igo Jr. is on a similar path.

ABOUT TEAM FULL THROTTLE
  • Team Full Throttle (TFT) is a leadership-based
    program with headquarters in the heart of NASCAR
    country in Mooresville, N.C., where the finest
    young Motorsports leaders in the nation are
    trained both on and off the track for success at
    the sports highest levels.
  • TFT President and Driver Coach Mike Calinoff has
    over 25 years of history as the winningest
    spotter in the sport and is highly regarded for
    his contributions to the careers of Dale
    Earnhardt Jr., AJ Allmendinger, 2003 NASCAR
    Sprint Cup Series Champion Matt Kenseth, Ricky
    Craven, 2007 Indy 500 champion Dario Franchitti,
    Jason Leffler, David Stremme, and two-time NASCAR
    Sprint Cup Series champion Tony Stewart.
  • TFT Founder and Vice President Tom Baker has
    almost 20 years of experience as a life and
    leadership coach and has been a personal
    development specialist for young racers from New
    York to California. Together, Calinoff and Baker
    provide all the necessary resources, experience
    and knowledge for superior personal development
    and a focused and timely advancement up the
    Motorsports ladder.
  • TFT is unique in its approach in building the
    finest individuals and then applying the
    leadership and mental focus training to
    motorsports. In addition to having the eyes and
    ears of NASCAR team recruiters, TFT has attracted
    the attention of several NASCAR personalities as
    occasional trainers and consultants, including
    Sprint Cup Series racer David Stremme, Nationwide
    Series racer Josh Wise, media specialists Bob
    Pockrass from NASCAR Scene and Lee Spencer from
    Fox Sports.
  • Team Full Throttle assembles some of the most
    exciting young motorsports prospects and then
    positions them for advancement by creating
    relationships with race teams, media, and
    potential marketing partners in order to place a
    driver at the appropriate level for their
    ability. With several team alliances in the heart
    of NASCARs radar (the Charlotte, N.C. area),
    Team Full Throttle is able to give their racers
    invaluable exposure at and away from the race
    track.

THE TFT APPROACH
  • Leadership and teamwork are an important part of
    Team Full Throttles driver training. Ongoing
    one-on-one sessions with instructors and at-track
    training during race nights help racers
    understand their role in their race team as well
    as our TFT team.
  • Once a driver has been through basic leadership,
    communications, and mental focus training, the
    training moves to the track, where they are shown
    how to apply what theyve learned while in the
    car in order to maximize performance.
  • Strong emphasis is put on proper appearance,
    attitude and physical fitness to give our racers
    a competitive and marketing edge. We believe
    there is a direct correlation between on- and
    off-track behavior and tendencies, and we strive
    to use motorsports to demonstrate opportunities
    for leadership and being a good role model.

TFT BUILDS WINNERS
  • At Team Full Throttle, we have over 30 drivers in
    our program, the majority of whom are competing
    and winning at the short-track level across the
    country. Divisions such as NASCARs Whelen All
    American Series and Camping World East Series are
    the top tier of the program. Exposure nationwide
    at the track, in the media, and on TV is possible
    for potential team sponsors, depending on the
    series.
  • We seek to develop long-term branding
    relationships between our racers and their
    marketing partners, understanding that the
    activation process is about more than just the
    name on the car or an article in the newspaper.
  • Since motorsports fans are three times as likely
    to choose a product based on its involvement in
    the sport, our experienced marketing staff will
    work with our partners to maximize their
    reciprocal benefit and increase brand awareness.
