The DRJ Team started out the season by making some changes to JOHN 3:16 and was looking forward to a successful season. March 27 at Carolina Speedway tested our patience during practice and we left the track with a "TOTALED" race car. The car got loose or something broke sending the DRJ driver "head on" into the block wall on the front stretch. The driver was fine other than being sore, but not so lucky for the car. The team questioned whether to continue to pursue racing or just visit the tracks to distribute items. We prayed about it and the Lord blessed us with not one, but two cars. Presently we have a 1993 Ford Thunderbird that we are racing and working on a 1973 Mustand Fastback. We will be removing the engine and transmission from our old car to put in the Mustang. Both cars will be # JOHN 3:16. We may attempt to run both cars at different tracks in the future but will have to wait and see. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as God works. DRJ has added some new tracks on the schedule also. We look forward to visiting 311 Fastrack in Pine Hall, NC and Lancaster Speedway in SC. We will making a couple of visits to County Line Raceway in Elm City also.

DRJ Racing was formed in 2008 to provide the youth a opportunity to race.  We plan on racing in the Junior Restricted Class (Young Guns-ages 10-14) and the Rookie Class (high school students).  Several racing friends/teams, businesses, and churches have donated parts and financial support for this program.   We are anticipating organizing a DRJ Youth Program centered specifically around God’s word and John 3:16. 

This has been a learning experience for me and I have developed a lot more respect for owners/drivers.  Building a race car from the ground up has been a large task which has tested my patience many times, but it all comes together with God’s blessings.  We are racing to sow the seeds.
