Ben Rowe has never been to Caraway Speedway. But, just like the competitors in the PASS National Series, the multi-time champion is eager to take his first shot at the half-mile high-banked speedway.
Rowe leads the 2012 PASS National standings with two races remaining as the tour heads to the 10th annual Colors Edge John Blewett III North-South Shootout presented by PPG on November 8-10. The Turner, Maine, driver has more than 30 career victories in PASS competition and is a multi-time PASS North Series and PASS South Series champion.
