The people involved in this ministry are Randy Denbow (chaplain), Steve Kaneaster (asst. chaplain), Buster Brown (hot pit), and Steve Schwartz. We give the invocation, operate the hot pit and oversee the children's special events at the track. We offer spiritual and prayer support. We are very fortunate that the track owner and management want us there. We appreciate the driver's, crew members and fans for supporting us.
