All time series race winner Ben Rowe has two PASS wins at the Geary Woods oval and he’ll be looking for his first of 2010 and his first for car owner Scott Mulkern as the new team continues to gel, both on and off the track. Rowe captured last year’s 200 over Adam Bates and John Fleming; Bates is pre-entered and he will be one of the ones to watch in the 200. Johnny Clark has won Speedway 660’s open competition Peterbilt 250 but he’s never beaten the full complement of PASS touring regulars in their three previous trips to the Speedway.
