“Taken at the 2022 NHRA Pep Boys Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway [in Mohnton, PA], I caught the exact moment Brittany Force’s engine blew up in a fireball during Round 2 eliminations against Antron Brown. My dad, brother, daughter, and I all attended the event and participated in the Sunday morning worship service with RFC in the pits before the race.”

Honorable Mention
Submitted by Aaron Jongbloedt
I proposed to my now-wife at SCCA-LOL’s race at Brainerd International Raceway. I arranged for all the Spec Miatas to hold up on the pit lane after coming in from our qualifying session and told my then-fiance to meet me there to “take tire temperatures.” I had hidden her ring in the race car and proposed in front of the stands. (RFC stickers on the b-pillar on each side of the race car.)
Other Great Submissions!

I know this may not look like a track pic, but [my wife] Karen took the Citizens Fire Academy training to better understand what our local Safety Safari goes through. We have always included the track prep and fire & first responders in our ministry. Scripturally, coming out of the fire becomes very real when you have a very small taste of what these servants experience on a daily basis. Most local tracks use volunteer firefighters who are off-shift.
