DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The seeds of Rowan Pennink’s track title were sewn in the late summer of 2014. The harvest this season was bountiful.

In 2015, Pennink earned Stafford Motor Speedway’s Division I championship, his first career NASCAR Whelen All-American Series crown. Although he turned in six wins behind the wheel of the No. 99 Van Wickle NAPA Auto Supply/Hitchcock Pool Water Chevrolet this year, it was a triumph in July 2014 that set him on a path towards success.
