Judson Press Book Reveals Connections Between NASCAR and Christian Faith
Valley Forge, PA (PRWEB) January 30, 2014 -- Taking you on a journey from motor racing’s roots in the days of Prohibition and moonshine through NASCAR culture today, author and sports journalist Chad Bonham offers candid stories about how the faith movement has been active in the sport, then and now.
This work features interviews with well-known personalities, including: Justin Allgaier, Mark Martin, Bobby Allison, Andy Petree, Trevor Bayne, Richard Petty, Brad Daugherty, Dr. Jerry Punch, Ned Jarrett, Ricky Stenhouse Jr, Matt Kenseth, and Darrell Waltrip.
Full of rich accounts, this book contains an up-close and personal look into the NASCAR “family” and reveals many stories of faith and spirituality amid the speed and competition. Ultimately, Faith in the Fast Lane: How NASCAR Found Jesus hopes to reveal to fans a little about themselves through the lens of the celebrated yet essentially human world of stock car racing.
