I-96 SPEEDWAY APPOINTS NATE ROWE AS RACE DIRECTOR
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LAKE ODESSA, MI – November 5, 2025 – I-96 Speedway is pleased to announce the appointment of Nate Rowe as the track's new Race Director. Bringing years of experience in both competitive driving and track operations, Rowe steps into the vital role of overseeing all on-track activities at the premier dirt track racing facility in Lake Odessa, Michigan.
In his new position, Rowe will be responsible for the safe and fair execution of weekly racing programs and special events. A primary focus of his role will be ensuring that race nights move along in a timely and professional manner, enhancing the experience for both participants and fans.
"Nate's unique background gives him an unparalleled understanding of what it takes to run a successful and fair race program from both the driver's seat and the operations tower," said Track Owner/Promoter Larry Curtiss. "We are thrilled to welcome him to the team and are confident his leadership will help us provide the best possible experience for everyone who comes through our gates."
“I am a grassroots guy. I’ve been involved in racing for 24 of my 27 years of life. To some, I may look young guy, but looks can be deceiving. I possess great qualities that many tracks lack as of late. I know confidently I can bring those qualities to my colleagues, drivers, teams, and fans of I-96 Speedway,” said Rowe. “It’s important to me that I can deliver that fair shake to everyone who chooses to race with us in 2026. From UMP Late Model teams to the Mini Wedge teams and everything in between. I’m very thankful for the opportunity from Larry and his team. I’m very eager to meet everyone.”
Rowe brings a wealth of hands-on knowledge to the position, having spent many years actively involved in various aspects of motorsports. His addition underscores I-96 Speedway's commitment to continuous improvement and providing a top-tier racing environment.
