                                        I am a

                              for

                        Christ

  During my time in professional racing, I have

 had the honor of being on the winning side of

​ 9 NASCAR Championships. There is a great joy of being the best with the Team you represent. Every professional wants to be a part of a Winning team. When you get there, it is magical. You know that during that season, you were the best of your competitors. 


  Yet, after it is all said and done, the feeling goes away. You want more but know they will all be the same. An amazing joy comes and then, life returns to normal. It is at this time you realize there has to be more. What is next after you have reached the top 9 times? It is during these times that I realized only God offers what can truly fill you up. Trophies come and go, but God's Word last forever!


  Winning is amazing. I have been a part of an organization that has won 296 times. I have been a part of 208 of those. The challenge is rewarding. The challenge is fun. The challenge is hard work. 

 Mostly, the challenge teaches you about yourself. If you are not careful, it becomes your identity.   When that happens, you lose your purpose. God has created you and me for His purposes. When you chase after that, you become a true Champion for Christ!


 "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize."
