(April 27, 2010) - Winchester Speedway and Champion Racing Association officials are pleased to announce that On Track Ministries will begin serving as the official chaplain ministry for Winchester Speedway and the CRA Super Series.  On Track Ministries has been serving the racing community throughout the Midwest for the past 14 years, as well as directing the fan outreach ministry for Indianapolis Motor Speedway.  On Track Ministries serves in cooperation with the National Fellowship of Raceway Ministries in providing chaplains for local tracks, regional series and large track fan outreach.  The On Track Ministries team will be made up of chaplains David Martin, Larry Avery and Andy Griffith.

    On Track Ministries approach is based on hanging out, building relationships and serving the racing community.  It is our goal to be consistently available and approachable to those we serve.  It is a ministry centered on sensitivity to the needs of those to whom we are ministering.  We do not push our way into ministering to those who do not want it.  We provide services of caring and availability in time of need.

    David Martin, the founder of On Track Ministries stated, "Over the years chaplains from NASCAR, regional series', and local tracks have become an important part of the racing landscape.  We are honored to have the privilege of serving the racing community at Winchester Speedway and the CRA Super Series.  We are looking forward to building lasting relationships at the track and in the series."

    "We are very excited to begin this new relationship with On Track Ministries," remarked Greg Wood, Director of Operations for Champion Racing Association. "In the past, a number of CRA racers and fans have taken advantage of the various Chaplin programs associated with our series. I really like the approach that David Martin is taking with this ministry. I believe that members of the CRA family will benefit from being a part of what they have to offer."
