“Experience is a wicked teacher. It gives you the exam first and then teaches you the lesson. And that’s exactly what these past three years have been for us. This year was the final test to see what I’ve got, and luckily, I was able to pull through for the team.” Myles Rowe

2022 - Passion, Perseverance, Progress...
2022 held ups and downs as Myles joined Pabst Racing for another season and seat time for the USF2000 season. Funding came through and so did the wins. The 2022 season ended for a 2nd Place Championship with 3 wins and 7 straight podiums.

2021 - History in the making...
In 2021, through the suggestion of IndyCar champion, Will Power, Myles was invited to race for Penske Entertainment’s Race For Equality & Change with the Force Indy team. Created in the wake of George Floyd’s murder on May 25, 2020, the RFE&C has a mission to address the lack of diversity within North American open-wheel racing. Force Indy is a race team created specifically to develop talent with a diverse group of individuals, outside as well as inside the cockpit.

Keep dreaming...
With the support of family and friends, and winning a major (to him) sponsorship helped him complete a few more races and convert from karts to cars, fueling his dreams of becoming an IndyCar Champion. Dreams can be deferred... but only if you never let them go.
Keep winning...
The same day, Myles got his new kart, he met Indy Car Champion Will Power at GoPro Motorplex, where he won the GoPro Motorplex Karting Championship that same year. Keep winning, and keep dreaming.
You gotta start somewhere...
If you want to do something, go for it!
Myles insisted his dad let him enroll into an indoor karting league...
"OK, since you did your research, we will try it." Myles' dad.

Baby steps...
Myles spent as much time as he could trying to read, watch videos and practice. And he finally got a brand new kart, a new suit, new helmet... (his mom loved it, since it was the only plain helmet on the track, so it was easy to keep up with him.) NOTE: All the Top Karts.
