Welcome to Bristol Raceway Ministries

Bristol Raceway Ministries goal is to serve at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee. We provide a diverse set of sixteen distinct ministries to race fans to make their time at the speedway a more wonderful experience. With more than 400 volunteers and chaplains, we minister inside the racetrack and to the tens of thousands of race fans staying in 15 surrounding campgrounds. Bristol Raceway Ministries chaplains also minister at the Food City Family Night festivities held in downtown Bristol during the autumn race week.

On race days, over sixty Bristol Raceway Ministry chaplains minister on the grounds of the speedway in a variety of ways. They distribute wonderful Christian material to encourage people in their spiritual lives. Working closely with emergency personnel (EMS and on-site Care Center personnel from Bristol's Regional Medical Center) they offer spiritual counseling to the hurting and their families. There are also passenger vans available to transport family members and friends of patients to and from the hospital when appropriate. Bristol Raceway Ministries also operates a golf-cart transportation ministry to assist those who are handicapped or have minor injuries for whom walking the hilly terrain around the racetrack is just too challenging. All those involved with Bristol Raceway Ministries anticipate that many race fans will come to see a race and leave knowing the Lord Jesus as Savior and Lord.

Bristol Raceway Ministries Mission Statement:

"Bristol Raceway Ministries' mission is to facilitate the fulfillment of the Great Commission by individual Christians and by churches who desire to evangelize by means of the gospel of the Savior, Jesus Christ, by all methods in accordance with the Word of God, as applied to the unique contest of motor sports."
