 In my time in professional racing, I've been privileged to celebrate nine NASCAR   Championships. There's an undeniable joy in standing at the top with your team, a   feeling every professional chases. Reaching that summit is truly magical; you know   you've been the absolute best that season.

 But once the cheers subside, that euphoria invariably recedes. You yearn for more,   yet recognize that future victories will yield the same temporary satisfaction. Life   simply returns to its routine. It's in these moments that the profound realization   hits: there must be something greater. What do you pursue after reaching the peak   nine times? For me, it became clear that only God can truly fill that void. Trophies   are fleeting, but God's Word endures eternally.

 Winning is incredible. I've belonged to an organization with 296 victories, 208 of   which I directly experienced. The pursuit is rewarding, exhilarating, and demanding.   Above all, it's a journey of self-discovery. However, it's easy for that pursuit to   become your entire identity, and when that happens, you lose sight of your true   purpose. God fashioned us for His unique plans. When you align with those plans,   you transform into a Champion for Christ!


 "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize."
1 Corinthians 9:24
