(Stafford Springs, CT)—Racing can be a fickle game and one needs to look no further than Rowan Pennink and the #99 Van Wickle NAPA Auto Supply SK Modified® team at Stafford Motor Speedway to see how fortunes can change in the course of a calendar year. Pennink joined the #99 team prior to the start of the 2014 season and things couldn’t have gotten off to a worse start. In 7 races, Pennink’s best finish was 18th and he missed two of those races completely. But their fortunes turned for the better starting with their win in last year’s NAPA SK 5k. In the 21 SK Modified® races run at Stafford since that win, Pennink has recorded 10 wins, 17 top-5, and 19 top-10 finishes. His 5 wins this season already match the 5 wins he accumulated last season and he heads into this year’s NAPA SK 5k as the point leader in the SK Modified division and full of confidence that he can repeat his SK 5k victory.
