About Master’s Men Racing

[MMR] was formed in 2000 as an answer to the demand for chaplaincy in racing. Currently Master’s Men Racing operates in NASCAR’S Sprint Cup and other series, as well as serve as series chaplains for ARCA. Chaplains include Daryl Barker (VP of Racing), David Giles, John Horton and Jim Cote’.

Mission of MMR

Master’s Men Racing seeks to represent Christ in the racing communities of the world, leading men to Christ and discipling them in Christ likeness so they may experience the abundant life of Jesus and become Godly leaders in their families and communities.

MMR Chaplains Activities

Master’s Men Racing chaplains serve the employees in NASCAR and ARCA shops through weekly Men’s Team studies where we lead the men through Scriptural answers to the issues they face.  Each week our chaplains walk through the shops to engage those who do not come to the study, but still want to talk through struggles and concerns they face.  Our chaplains also perform weddings and funerals for those with whom they have developed a more personal relationship.

MMR chaplains also attend multiple racing events where they have devotionals with race teams, prayer with drivers and crew, and “on the spot” counseling sessions.  MMR’s chaplain to the ARCA Racing Series attends each of the ARCA events holding a chapel service and serving the pastoral needs of the entire community.

Master’s Men Racing is now at a new location. To learn more about this division of the Master’s Men visit mastersmenracing.com.
