Before the NASCAR race?

Question

I was listening to the radio and a NASCAR race came on. They had someone say a prayer before the race. I was wondering if that is common or just a couple of races? If it is common is there a certain type of religion that NASCAR uses for the prayers?

Answer 1

they always say a prayer before a race..... they want to pray over the drivers and fans and family....also the troops....

Answer 2

someone always says a prayer before the race starts, then the national anthem is sung, then the command to start engines is said. i believe it's always been christian.

Answer 3

That have an invocation prior to every NASCAR event, all series.  They don't have a specific religion- it is always Christian though.

*rolls eyes*  Specific as in Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, etc...

Answer 4

Um, Christian is a specific religion.

Shakes Head. Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, etc...are not religions. They are movements of the Christian religion. Have you ever heard of the Methodist religion??

Answer 5

Yes, they pray before every race. It is one of the few sports that do. They pray to god if that helps describe the religion.

Answer 6

The National Fellowship of Raceway Ministries (NFRM) is a fellowship of local ministry groups that share the message of hope in Jesus Christ with race fans, competitors and motor sports participants of all kinds.  A Volunteer Association of Raceway Ministry Groups, Joining Together to Share the Good News of Jesus Christ with the Racing Community.  The usually have a representative say a prayer before EVERY race.
