Seeing the intensity with which they live life in motorsports competition and knowing that Jesus our Lord and Savior is a part of their journey humanizes them in ways anyone can relate to.

Michael McDowell, 2021 Daytona 500 Champion

"When it comes to NASCAR, most of us think of speed, power, and precision. In Sundays at the Track, we're reminded God sometimes has to slow us down in order to show us who's really behind the wheel. Lee's stories reveal how God's grace and faithfulness have turned around the lives of some of your favorite stock car personalities."

Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family

"Through highs and lows, good times and bad, wins and losses, the most successful athletes and those that surround them have the determination and focus to never give up. However, the highs, good times, and wins never bring lasting joy and true peace. In the pages of this book you will read stories of many from the world of NASCAR who have discovered lasting joy and peace in all circumstances, good and bad, and where they found it--or, more specifically, in whom they found it. His name is Jesus."

Billy Mauldin, president and senior chaplain of Motor Racing Outreach

"Sundays at the Track brings some of the most honest, inspirational stories from the shadows of the racing community into the light of God's grace and faithfulness."

David Pierce, chief media officer of K-LOVE

"In this book, you will learn that there is a lot more to the NASCAR community than going fast in circles. Although these individuals are blessed to do what they love, not everything in their world is glitzy, glamorous, or perfect. They too have to struggle and meet the daily challenges of life that we all face. And for many of them, their faith in Christ Jesus is their anchor through it all."

Stevie Waltrip, wife of NASCAR Hall of Fame driver Darrell Waltrip

But have you ever wanted a peek behind the curtain to meet some of the wonderful people that pour their hearts and souls into making NASCAR into something we can't get enough of? If so, then Sundays at the Track is just what you've been waiting for."

Susan Chastain, mother of NASCAR Cup Series driver Ross Chastain

"Sundays at the Track shows that there are more important things than trophies and bent race cars. Through the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, your faith in Jesus can and will sustain you. Nobody can do it alone, and I'm so thankful we don't have to."

Phil Parsons, analyst for NASCAR on FOX

"For those of us who love motorsports, Sundays at the Track reveals the spiritual battle going on inside every driver and team member in the midst of their pressure to win the race that will impact their lives and the lives of those they influence--for eternity!"
