Just came across this info on a new NASCAR book and thought I’d share it with you.
VALLEY FORGE, PA - Dale Beaver, former Motor Racing Outreach chaplain, offers stories, anecdotes and insights into Christian living drawn from some of NASCAR’s leading racers and their crew members in his new book,Before the Thunder Rolls: Devotions for NASCAR Fans. The Behind-the-scenes details abound, with Beaver recounting faith perspectives he experienced during his years with the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series.
Some of auto racing’s biggest names—Jeff Gordon, Dale Jarrett, Ward Burton, Bill Elliott, Bobby Labonte, Ryan Newman, Jimmy Spencer and Tony Stewart, among others—provide inspirational accounts of faith kept on track through word and deed despite the high-stress, high-living challenges of one of America’s most popular sports.
Additionally Beaver looks at each critical stage of the NASCAR schedule—from “It Starts in the Shop” and “Final Inspection” to “Staying on Track Off the Track”—providing Scriptural applications for all who follow professional auto racing.
Before the Thunder Rolls: Devotions for NASCAR Fans includes forewords by Jimmie Johnson and Ryan Newman as well as the eulogy Beaver preached at the nationally broadcast memorial service for one of NASCAR’s legends. It is part of the NASCAR Library Collection, the seal of authentication for NASCAR-licensed books.
