That year, we needed some help. We wrecked our car at Unity and he offered his  car to us. He raced it Friday night at Oxford and then we took it over to White  Mountain and ended up winning. It was a fun night. It&rsquo;s fun to hop into someone  else&rsquo;s car and get the job done.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Brian and Ben did real well  with (our car) a few years ago,&rdquo; said Kennison. &ldquo;We bought our first Pro Stock  from that team. They were in a little bit of a jam because they had gotten into  a wreck. Brian called us up to ask if we could help them out. We definitely said  yes &ndash; with Ben behind the wheel and Brian working on it, how could you go wrong?  They are both incredible. They put their set-up in it, went to White Mountain  and won with it.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>Nearly two years later, the paths of both  drivers have crossed again.

Then they  approached us and we worked out a deal to run a second RMR car. Brian is coming  over to the team to be my crew chief and it&rsquo;s going to be a lot less stressful  than being an owner-driver. It&rsquo;s a win-win situation. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;To get  things started at White Mountain is perfect. It&rsquo;s a sweet track and one of my  favorite places to race. Ben had a history of winning there and nothing would be  better than to see both Richard Moody Racing cars run well there.&rdquo;  <\/p>\n<p>Ironically, when you ask Rowe and Kennison about the track, they  both start out by using the same first four words. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I love the  place,&rdquo; said Rowe. &ldquo;They keep that place top-notch and I always look forward to  going there. It&rsquo;s a great facility. There&rsquo;s a bunch of stuff to do in the area  around the track. We go over to the town with the kids and make a weekend out of  it. I love the place.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I love the place,&rdquo; said Kennison. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s  great, I would race there every Saturday night if I could. If they had a 100-lap  feature every week, I would be right there. It&rsquo;s a great track, it&rsquo;s nice for  the family and it&rsquo;s a fun track to watch a race at.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>And while  watching a race there is fun, driving one is even better. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s  a racer&rsquo;s racetrack,&rdquo; said Rowe. &ldquo;You can drive as hard as you want and you  don&rsquo;t drive off the racetrack. You can really abuse the racecar and drive it.  It&rsquo;s a fun race and we&rsquo;ll have a lot of cars over there.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>The  PASS North Super Late Model event at White Mountain Motorsports Park is set for  Saturday, May 26th.
