Wanna give NASCAR Props

[lroberts]

I like NASCAR also - although not as much as I used to.

I've been to a few races. I remember I went to the Atlanta race one year and in the prayer, the preacher actually thanked God for finally letting Earnhardt win Daytona! LOL!

(That being said, I think they ruined Daytona this year. It doesn't seem right to have to race with one car pushing another all the way around the track).

NASCAR didn't cause the drafting issue......Daytona did by repaving the surface. Also, you guys are spot on about the PC stuff that NASCAR ignores. However, something that I have never understood about religion and "thanking God' for the victory is this.....does God really care who wins the race....do the drivers (or other athletes) really think that God made them win. What they should be thanking God for is the opportunity to be in the position to compete....thoughts?

I'm not quoting because I'm going on memory...I actually took his comments as he did thank God for the opportunities. Statements like "he made this possible" means to me that this young man actually feels and trusts that through God all things are possible. It's called faith and you either have it, question it or you don't have it at all.

He prayed before the race with his team and after. He seems genuine to me. My personal belief is that God doesn't run your life but he will guide you if you seek a relationship with him. It's a personal decision for sure.

Anytime someone tries and give praise to God is fine with me.

A great big humungous AMEN!!!!
