But there are several teams heading to the Geary woods this weekend that have different plans.  The biggest name in modern stock car racing in the Northeast, Ben Rowe has some unfinished business at the Auto Value 250 and is retuning to see what he can do about that.  After missing his heat race in 2010 due to a motor change, Rowe won his consi and was heading to the front early in the 250 we he was involved in a wreck that ended his day.  \u201cWe had a great car last year and the team worked their tails off to change that motor on Sunday morning.  I cant wait to take another crack at these guys and that Auto Value 250 trophy!\u201d.  Rowe is fresh of his win in the Atlantic Cat 250 and is a four time PASS North Champion as well as a two time winner of the Oxford 250.  Rowe will again pilot a car prepared by O\u2019Neal Racing crew, the same car Sterling Marlin entered in the 2009 event.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nJohnny Clark is also no stranger to Speedway 660 victory lane.  Johnny is a two time Auto Value 250 champion and most recently captured the PASS 200 victory at Speedway 660 on June 11th.  In victory lane that day Johnny made his intentions clear when asked if he would be returning to compete in the 2011 Auto Value 250, \u201cAre you kidding me, I love this place and I love the 250.    You bet I\u2019ll be here\u201d.     <\/p>\n<p>The list of potential winners goes on and on with this event.
