HOUSTON, Feb. 16 /Christian Newswire/ -- Kingdom Racing announced today its IndyCar race-related Ministry event lineup for 2010. The team intends to build on the footprint established over the past two years with various events, the most important to be a fan outreach program scheduled for the Indianapolis 500 race weekend, May 28 through 30. The centerpiece of the program will be twelve infield missionaries that will operate from Kingdom Racing's display booth. The display will also feature show cars, race driver and celebrity appearances and worship music. Similar ministry events for the Texas, Kentucky, Chicago and Miami IndyCar races are also under design, but are subject to available resources. Kingdom Racing will also again compete in IndyCar and Indy Lights races in 2010 with drivers Davey Hamilton and Brandon Wagner, details of which will be available soon.
The team is partnering with national Christian Ministries and local Churches for the events conducted at each track. Through these efforts, Kingdom Racing intends to reach thousands of people in 2010 with the good news of Jesus Christ. Team founder George Del Canto said "Kingdom Racing cannot do this alone and needs support. We challenge the Christian community to partner with us to change lives through a message of hope delivered to the infields and grandstands we touch in 2010."

"...for Faith without Works is dead-James 2:20," said Del Canto.

About Davey Hamilton:
Davey's racing career almost ended on June 9, 2001 following a devastating crash at the Texas Motor Speedway. After 21 operations and two years of rehabilitation, Davey returned to Indy Car racing at the 91st running of the Indianapolis 500 in May 2007 and finished 9th. Davey's strong faith and determination to once again race in the 500 were instrumental in securing a partnership with Kingdom Racing. Together, Davey and Kingdom Racing have run consecutive Indy 500 mile races in 2008 and 2009. Davey will again return to the cockpit for Kingdom Racing in 2010.
