Just getting a chance to be around  the guys, work as a team and get to know each other better is only  going to help us.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT HICKORY MOTOR SPEEDWAY? <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;I don&#8217;t know what it is about that track. I just like it. I really  don&#8217;t know what it is. It&#8217;s old and there&#8217;s a lot of history there. <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The track (surface) is pretty worn out, so I think that brings the  driver&#8217;s ability into effect a little more.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> IS IT TRUE THAT YOUR FATHER, INAUGURAL PASS SOUTH SERIES CHAMPION MIKE  ROWE, WAS THE ONE WHO ENCOURAGED YOU TO GO TO HICKORY THIS WEEKEND? <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Things have been kind of slow at work, and my father decided we should  go racing. I figured, &#8216;Why not?&#8217; He kind of got the whole thing  rolling.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BEN ROWE: PASS NATIONAL SERIES Hickory Motor Speedway Race Preview Four-time PASS North Series champion Ben Rowe of Turner, Maine, will compete in the PASS Easter Bunny 150 at Hickory Motor Speedway in Hickory, N.C., on Saturday, April 3.
