The INDYCAR Ministry and my Involvement

The Indy Car Ministry provides chapel services at each track where the Indy Car, Indy Lights, Pro Mazda Championship, and USF2000 series race. Chapel services include Christian music, Holy Communion, prayer, and a biblical message. We provide prayer and counseling support to drivers and team members. Bible studies are also provided at some of the race shops.

Carpenter finishes 17th in 500.

It was an exciting, yet disappointing day at IMS when the #20 machine finished 17th after running as high as 4th. We had some fuel consumption issues that forced us to pit early on a yellow for a "splash & go". This caused us to give up a huge track position advantage.

It was exciting fueling the Vision Racing car. God kept everyone safe on the team as many prayers were answered. It was kinda cool that prior to the race, the team manager, know that I work with IRL Ministry, asked me to pray with team and driver prior to the race! We gathered at the car on the grid and I prayed for all involved. After the prayer was concluded, I overheard someone say, "it's kinda cool to have a Chaplain on the team."

Thanks for all your concern, prayers and support!
