Racers For Christ is planning a Road Trip… and You’re Invited!

We will begin with our kickoff on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, in Chicago, Illinois. We will travel Historic Route 66 all the way to Santa Monica, California. The plan is to conclude on Good Friday, April 3, 2026.

Eddie & Kelly Baugher, series chaplains for the NHRA Mission Foods series, will lead the way in either their 1977 MG Midget or 1978 MGB. You can join them for all or part of this journey on the Mother Road.

Other ways you can participat: Join us at one of our many stops along the way. We want this Road Trip to serve several purposes. First, we would love to meet as many supporters, volunteers, racers, rodders, and friends, as possible from across the country. Second, we also want to celebrate RFCs 55th Anniversary, Route 66s 100th Anniversary, NHRAs 75th Anniversary, and our nations 250th Birthday!

This will be a great way to promote your business, celebrate America, promote motorsports, and help Racers For Christ continue going and serving the motorsports community.

Ways in which you can support us in this project. Depending on level, can include: a stop on route, name on MG (the car will either be wrapped or have individual graphics applied), ad space on map and other promotional materials, recognition on website, information included in goodie bag, name/logo on t-shirt, promotion through Instagram and Facebook Reels, major sponsors logos included on stainless steel travel mug, and others as we find opportunities.
