HOW WE SERVE
AT THE TRACK
From the moment the semis unload, our team is on the ground and connecting. IndyCar Ministry serves across four different racing series, which covers everyone from mechanics, officials, medical staff, the drivers, and many more. A typical race weekend is a flurry of activity for our team.

Our primary focus is connecting, fostering relationships, and loving on this community. We’re ministering to a couple thousand people, who travel around 30% of their year. So as you can imagine, real life happens and happens a lot. When it does, we are the ones to care, to comfort, and to encourage. It’s because of this, we are seeing God move in extraordinary ways!
WINNER’S CIRCLES
Our hearts desire is to see the hope of Jesus radically transform the paddock. Which means in addition to reaching as many as possible, we also create spaces to grow deeper through discipleship. We do this in our Winner Circles. Winner Circles are small groups happening inside the various race shops during the week. They serve as a place for encouragement, support, study God’s Word, and to serve one another.
As a small community they get the incredible privilege to reflect the love of Jesus within their teams. In a way, it’s like planting a church in the midst of a difficult environment. Each Winner Circle has a leader who invests and equips those in their group to live out their faith in a dynamic way.
fan outreach
Each race, tens of thousands of race fans gather to enjoy an exciting NTT INDYCAR series event. Which provides us an incredible opportunity to share the love of Jesus across the country! At over 10 events a year, we send our IndyCar Ministry trailer and show car to be present with the fans. We hand our bibles, books, pray with people, and connect them to a local church.
INDYCAR Ministry partners with local churches in the area of our races. The local church provides volunteers, who would then engage with, connect to, and even pray for those who stop by. The show car serves as the attraction to open up a line of conversation. Its a great way to impact your community, invite people to your church, and equip your people to be on the forefront of mission in an exciting environment!
