by
Rev. Don Rivers
RACING WITH JESUS MINISTRIES |
In

please enjoy his teaching, Rev. Don
John 20:31 NLV; “But
these things are written so you may believe that
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. When you put

NASCAR WHELEN MODIFIED TOUR |
Following
a pair of day races and a rainout, the NASCAR Whelen
Modified Tour will race under the lights for the
first time in 2013 when it returns to Stafford
