Mooresville, NC (April 22, 2015)- TriStar Motorsports and Blake Koch are excited to partner with Promise Keepers this weekend at Richmond International Raceway. Koch will pilot the No. 8 Promise Keepers Toyota Camry in the ToyotaCare 250 under the lights Friday night.
Promise Keepers is a catalytic event for men, challenging them to embrace their calling to lead their families, churches and communities in worship of, and obedience to, Jesus the Messiah. Through powerful worship and anointed preaching, men are called out to become everything that God has created them to be, and then to return to their families, churches and communities with a commitment to hear and obey God’s Word in the power of the Holy Spirit.
“Promise Keepers is excited to be able to share our mission: “Men Transforming the World”, to the NASCAR community,” said Dr. Raleigh Washington, President and CEO of Promise Keepers. “There could not be a better representative than Blake Koch for Promise Keepers.”
Sponsorship for the No. 8 Toyota Camry was funded by two anonymous donors that attended a Promise Keepers event last weekend in Phoenix. The two anonymous donors are sponsoring Koch’s ride in an effort to introduce the Promise Keepers event to the NASCAR community.
“I first went to a Promise Keepers event when I was about 12-years-old with my dad in Orlando, FL and it was a life changing experience,” said Koch. “Since then I have spoken at two events and I am a huge fan of Promise Keepers and what they encourage. I hope this weekend brings attention to Promise Keepers and gets men to commit to attending an event!”
Koch has seven previous starts at Richmond International Raceway and has turned over 980 laps at the 3/4-mile raceway. Finishing 21st in the spring of 2014, Koch is looking for a great finish this weekend with Promise Keepers on board.
Tune into the ToyotaCare 250 on Friday, April 24th at 7:30PM on FOX Sports 1, SIRIUS XM Channel 90 and the Motor Racing Network (MRN).
About Promise Keepers:
From its founding in 1990 to 2009, Promise Keepers’ mission has been to ignite and unite men to become warriors who will change their world through living out the Seven Promises. From 2009 – 2011 PK broadened its mission to include a place for women, and young adults at its events. For 2012 and onward, Promise Keepers will re-focus its conferences for men. We have found that men tend to be more open to God’s presence when they are with other men. There is something unique about the all male environment that sets men free to drop the normal posturing and humble ourselves in Jesus Christ, committing to new beginnings. Promise Keepers had directly reached more than 6 million men through men’s conferences – including an assembly of 1.4 million men on the United States national mall in Washington D.C., on October 4, 1997 – and the number continues to grow each year. Through over 200 stadiums, arena and church events Promise Keepers encourages men to be transformed and live godly lives.
