“I’m really looking forward to being the Managing Director of Kingdom Racing. We’ve accomplished so much over the past seven years and will continue to expand our footprint throughout motorsports in 2015. First off, we will continue our affiliation with an IndyCar team for the Indy 500 and will continue our Miles of Smiles events at various locations around the United States. Kingdom Racing will also have a presence in other forms of motorsports in 2015 and we have many other exciting opportunities coming up,” said Hamilton.

Kingdom Racing plans to host multiple ministry events, festivals and appearances throughout the United States in 2015. Kingdom Racing will continue to reach thousands of people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through Trackside Fan Festivals, Infield Ambassadors, Miles of Smiles, and other events in partnership with churches and ministries.

About Davey Hamilton: 

Davey’s racing career almost ended on June 9, 2001 following a devastating crash at the Texas Motor Speedway. After 23 operations and two years of rehabilitation, Davey returned to INDYCAR racing at the 91st running of the Indianapolis 500 in May 2007, finishing ninth. Davey’s strong faith and determination to once again race in the 500 were instrumental in securing a partnership with Kingdom Racing which endures to this day.
