Sam Chapman (born 16 February 1989) is a British speedway rider who in 2015 rode for Plymouth Devils in the Premier League and Birmingham Brummies in the National League.

Career[]

Born in Cornwall, Chapman competed in Motocross before later switching to Speedway. He was given his first regular team place by the in the National League in 2014. Starting on a standard 3.00 average he finished the season on a much improved 5.45 average, riding at number 1 for the Stags in what was a disappointing season for the team.

After a successful first season in the National League Chapman swapped the struggling Stags team for the newly reformed Birmingham Brummies, a team tipped by many to mount a serious title challenge.^[1] He was also given the opportunity to double up and combine riding for the Brummies with riding with local team the Plymouth Devils in the Premier League, as a pre-season replacement for Hungarian rider Roland Benko who had to withdraw due to personal reasons.^[2]
