In the spirit of the Daytona 500...
Most of you know of my love for NASCAR. I am from Darlington, and we have a track but that doesn't mean that I always liked the sport. My mama and I would always go out of town shopping for the day while every else came into the little city for the weekend. BUT all of that changed when I went to my first race in 2004 with Becca. We watched the last running of the Mountain Dew Southern 500 from the pits. I was able to meet a lot of drivers and jumped pit wall to get a picture with Kasey Kahne, but that is another story for another hour.. a good story at that.
Kasey Kahne: Well, who are we going to get to take it?
Mystery crew member: I will.
{Smile}
And I just walk back to Becca in a daze.
TRUE STORY.
Now for why I really wanted to write this blog. Yesterday, 20-yr.old Trevor Bayne won the 500. What I like most is that, he hasn't for one bit shyed away from his faith in Christ. NASCAR starts every race with a public prayer that is aired nationally on TV and no one contests it. I am thankful for a sport that acknowledges Jesus as the ONLY way and for drivers who stand strong in their faith and aim to share that with others.
