 Have you ever had this crazy dream, and you know God put it there for a reason? Everyone around you questions the outcome, but you know God is in it. That's what our guests Alan Litvak and Davey Hamilton tonight say happened to them. Kingdom Racing was born out of a Houston businessman George Del Campo's dream to put the gospel on the Indy speedway. In three short years, they have managed to acquire a major sponsor, Davey Hamilton as their driver, and finish 14th in the Indianapolis 500. They are the first faith based race team to compete in the Indianapolis 500. Davey Hamilton says God took a hold of his life at an early age but no greater faith was tested than when he crashed at the Texas Motorspeedway in 2001.
