This is the pre-race prayer at the NASCAR Nationwide race on July 23rd, 2011.

It's hilarious.

There's no doubt about it.

And, perhaps the pastor uses a very much tongue-in-cheek style that would be appropriate to the occasion. After all, it is a race where people watch fast cars go fast.  This is not a solemn religious festival. 

But, it could also exemplify how the lines between Christ and culture get muddied...although "muddied" is way to mild a term for what happens here.  It's a prayer with not very much Jesus but a whole lot of racing.

Enjoy.



So, is it the best or worst?
