Viva Las Vegas

Barboursville’s Brett Rowe is planning to hit Vegas racing this weekend in the Sam’s Town 300 Busch Race.

You can catch the action on ABC beginning at 2:30 p.m. Saturday.

“We hope to make the hometown people proud,” Brett said Monday from his shop in Barboursville.

He’ll be Nevada-bound on Thursday with his Day Enterprises racecar.

Plans are to qualify for a bunch of Busch races this season with Revelocity Racing, a West Virginia team.

Brett said he’s looking toward running at Nashville, Richmond and Kentucky at the least. And the Kentucky race in June is a perfect road trip for fans.

The 39-year-old driver still works full time at the family business, Imperial Bedding, and puts in plenty more hours at the shop on his parents’ farm in Barboursville.

So, come on racefans, let’s get behind this homegrown racer. Who knows, we might just come up with our own version of Owensboro, Ky., prominence.
