And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus…
Heb 12:2
As you know, The Indianapolis 500, is a race of unparalleled intensity, excitement, and prestige. With that, it also brings immense pressure and stress affecting everyone involved. The demanding month of May, in particular, places significant strain on both professional and personal lives of those involved, especially for families.
Spouses and children endure prolonged separation, often learning how to function as a single parent during race season. This leads to challenges at home, including emotional burdens, mental health struggles, and missed family moments—realities often unspoken within the racing community.
God has uniquely positioned INDYCAR Ministry in a place to do something about it. Whether its the impact our Chaplains are making at every event or our Family Care Team caring for the families at home, we are at the forefront serving and shining the the hope of Jesus.
MAke a difference in the very lives you cheer for on raceday
This May, we're launching our 4th annual Month of Ministry, dedicated to supporting the NTT INDYCAR, INDY NXT, and the three USF Pro Championship Series communities and their families.
You can play a vital role in making a lasting impact within the racing community. Join us by participating in our mission to raise $75K this May to extend hope and care both at the track and at home.
Your support will:
Provide funding for our Family Care Team in order to serve the families by helping with various needs, providing meals, flowers, and more.
Fund the LoneStar JR award party and provide a much needed time of celebration for the crews after what’s been an incredibly long month
Enable us to provide Chaplains trackside support at all 27 2025 INDYCAR, INDY NXT, and USF Pro Championship events.
