Being a NASCAR Driver comes with many challenges such as quick decision making and being fearless behind the wheel. In this story, we see 7 NASCAR drivers (Trevor Bayne, Michael McDowell, Black Koch, David Starr, Justin Allgiaer, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., and Darrell Waltrip) speaking about their experiences with God and how they have been exposed to Christianity on and off the racetrack. Since each driver started racing at a young age, they have been engulfed in the mentality of winning races. Their whole life was surrounded by race cars and being on the race track. As time slowly crept by, each driver realized their distance with God and they reconnected to God through friends and family. That one encounter of God has opened their eyes to ‘fixing’ their personality and rekindling their relationship. Their mentality is now to accept Christ into their lives and practice this everyday. They have small groups that force them to be open about their faith and causes them to pray before races/practices.

In their testimonies, they spoke about how they get into the zone and focus on racing. This reminded me of flow and how you forget about everything and are so focused on the prize that you don’t realize the things that you’re doing. They have an autotelic experience from racing and driving fast while balancing the control of their bodies and the control of the car. Each driver has their own experience but we can see that they all begin to get into the zone even before stepping foot into the cars. The are totally focused on racing at their best potential while forgetting about any other emotions such as fear and anxiety.
