Available on Kindle!
For NASCAR fans, this book is unlike any other. Partly historical and partly inspirational, this volume will fuel your enthusiasm for the sport and your faith.
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.
Featuring 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
• Darrell Waltrip
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. Just as members of the NASCAR family have discovered ways to blend spirituality with irreverence, the sacred with the secular, the miraculous with the mundane, readers may be encouraged to do the same.
Key features:
• Two-part format provides a historical and contemporary view of the sport interwoven with rich accounts of faith in action
• Contains an up-close and personal look into the NASCAR "family" and reveals many stories of faith and spirituality amid the speed and competition
• Excellent as a gift for a NASCAR fan or for sport history buff
