“Ironman” Ben Rowe
Gets Ready for Another Season |
|
Family is Key to Success
for This Three-Time
PASS North Champion |
NAPLES, ME (April 27,
2007) – On May 20, 2001, Ben Rowe was part of the
first-ever Pro All Stars Series event. The race took
place at Lee USA Speedway in Southern New Hampshire.
Rowe won his heat race that day, but ran into trouble
during the feature and finished 23rd.
Since than, the Maine driver has more than made up for
that 23rd-place finish. He won the PASS North Super Late
Model title in 2002, 2003 and 2005. He has also won
numerous races during that timeframe. Most impressive,
though, might be Rowe’s “Ironman” status with the tour.
Rowe has been in the starting field for every PASS North
race in the tour’s history.
Rowe will return to the PASS North series in 2007,
driving the #4 Richard Moody Racing entry. In addition
to his PASS North duties, Rowe plans a very busy year at
the racetrack. He is even eyeing a run at the PASS South
championship and is off to a good start there, finishing
second in the season-opening Easter Bunny 150.
“We’ve got a bunch of different cars,” said Rowe. “Who
knows? We might run both series – PASS North and PASS
South. We’ve talked about it. It’s a neat deal to be
able to have options. We really enjoy going to new
tracks and towing around. Rick has really given us that
opportunity. If he wants to go and the crew wants to go,
so be it, we’ll be there.”
During the PASS North off-season, Rowe and his team
visited a number of tracks down South to fill their time
off. They raced everywhere from Virginia to Florida to
Alabama and were contenders in each event.
“I really, really enjoy going down South and running
with those guys,” said Rowe. “That’s what we’ve been
doing since we stopped racing up here last year. I
respect those guys that you see on TV. Those are the
names that you hear week in and week out. For us to go
to Florida or Alabama to race with them means quite a
bit to me.”
Rowe is proud to represent New England in those races.
He’s also proud of the growth that he has witnessed in
PASS North.
“We’re going to some really good tracks up here and it’s
continuing to grow. We get more and more cars. It should
be a good year.”
Racing is a family affair for Ben Rowe. He grew up
watching his father, 2006 PASS South champion Mike Rowe,
at tracks around the Northeast. He also raced alongside
his brother Tommy for many years. Now, he gets to head
to the track with the support of his wife and his two
young sons, who rarely miss a race.
“My wife is a big part of this,” said Rowe. “She drags
the kids everywhere. If I didn’t have a wife like her, I
couldn’t do this. That goes for the guys on the team and
Rick’s wife, too. In order for us to do this week in and
week out and spend four or five days a week at the shop,
the families really have to put up with a lot. We have a
good time going out of state. That makes it a fun deal
to have everyone there.
“It’s all one big family. My Dad and I work together
during the week [at Rowe and Sons Trucking] and race
against each other on the weekends.”
The PASS North Super Late Model season will kick off
with a doubleheader weekend in early May. On Saturday,
the tour will open their year at Beech Ridge Motor
Speedway (ME) on May 5th before heading to Speedway 95
for a Sunday afternoon show on May 6th. |

MOODY GETS A NEW TEAM,
KHIEL GETS A NEW CHANCE,
There Are Big Changes at the RMR PASS Team for '06
Speed51 story by
Mike Twist
|
When a team aspires to move up from a string of
respectable finishes to become a contender week in and
week out, it pays to have a little help from your
friends. That is exactly what Richard Moody is hoping
at least.
Moody finished sixth in the IBG-PASS Pro Stock points in
2005 with Donnie Whitten behind the wheel. It was a
good season for the then-#83 team, but Moody has been
around the sport for a long time. He wanted to do
better and now he is stepping up to make that happen for
2006 and beyond by borrowing a few ingredients from the
teams that finished first and second in the standings
last season.
