Danny Rowe Focused on Maintaining Forward Momentum in Charlotte
CHARLOTTE, NC – Danny Rowe, driver of the Agave Underground Pro Mod Camaro, is exactly the kind of fast-paced, high energy 
individual one would expect to be willing to strap themselves into a nearly 3,000-horsepower, 250mph capable hot rod. That’s why the five-weeks leading up to this weekend’s NHRA Four-Wide Nationals have been borderline unbearable for the Laguna Hills, California-based racer.
“After Gainesville, we just couldn’t wait to get back to the track,” says Rowe, checking in from the pits at zMAX Dragway outside Charlotte, home to this weekend’s NHRA national event. “We had a fast, consistent race car and this team just got off to a good start, so we’re here this weekend focused on maintaining that momentum and starting our climb toward the top of the points standings.”
Rowe, who leads the NHRA Pro Mod division in round wins (70) and final round appearances (9) since the class became a professional category in 2010, landed fifth in the NHRA Pro Mod points after qualifying No. 2 and finishing in the semifinal round in Gainesville. Just 56 points out of first place, Rowe knows a strong outing this weekend in Charlotte could mean a major shakeup in the points.
“Of course, it’s still very early in the season, but with a 10-race schedule you have to try and make them all count. This weekend we’re hoping that we can build on what we started in Gainesville. Jimmy [Rector, crew chief] will definitely want to try and make a good run on Friday – weather permitting – and go after that number-one qualifying spot. Once we get this Agave Underground hot rod in the show, we’ll take it one round at a time – like we always do.”
The NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by ProCare Rx will begin qualifying for the 4th annual Dollar General NHRA Four-Wide Nationals fueled by Full Throttle at zMAX Dragway on Friday, April 19th with two sessions at 2:00 PM and 4:15 PM. A final qualifying session will be held Saturday, April 20th at 2:00 PM with the opening round of eliminations being held at 4:00 PM. Final eliminations will be held at 12:30 PM on Sunday.
