Although many applaud the prayer meetings in NASCAR circles, not everyone is willing to tolerate Christian values on the race track.Indeed, NASCAR driver Blake Koch is being persecuted for his faith.
Following California’s Royal Purple 300, Koch sat just 28 points out of the top 10 driver standings—but he was forced to race with a blank car after losing his primary sponsor because of a controversy over his Christianity.Koch had partnered with The Rise Up and Register Campaign, which works to educate people on the importance of voting in the 2012 elections. But ESPN would not allow the ad to air because of its so-called political and religious overtones.
