More than 40,000 NASCAR fans flood EchoPark Speedway in Hampton, Georgia, for two events each year — and there is not a place they can go on site without interacting with Raceway Ministries Atlanta.
Approximately 300 volunteers spend two weekends per year intentionally cultivating relationships with fans to spread the gospel and help them make eternal life decisions.

Sharing ‘God’s story’
Executive Director Connie Yancey, who has led the ministry for 16 years, said it’s one-on-one evangelism.
“We’re not here to have a Billy Graham Crusade, we’re here to look for our ONE because Jesus has that one just for you,” she said. “I do it all the time. What’s your story? Do you mind if I tell you mine? My story is a God story.”
Cultivating relationships is the number one mission, and it’s done in a number of ways.
