Daniel had a job!!!!




The Lord has opened up a great job for Daniel in North Carolina! He will be working as Director of Maintainence for the Michael Wiltrip Nascar organization. There are new visitor centers and museums going up - some will be opening in May, and Daniel will oversee all of these.

One blessing is that Michael and his family are Christians...here is part of his testimony....

"Be anxious for nothing, but in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God", Philippians 4:6 has been Michael's favorite verse all those years of growing up and racing. Michael asked the Lord to come into his heart as a young man. Knowing he can talk to God anytime, he often whispers prayers to Him during the race. There have been lots of days and nights with reason for thanksgiving. There have been, also, many times of prayer and supplication. Perhaps the two were never needed more than at that eventful Daytona 500 in February 2001. During a short lived time of thanksgiving following Michael's long awaited win that day, he received word that his friend and car owner had died in that same race. Prayers and supplications for the family of Dale Earnhardt became priority at that point. Faith is what got Michael and wife, Buffy, through that most extraordinarily difficult year.Today, because of the many prayers said by family, friends, and race fans around the world, Michael still climbs into those racecars 36 weeks out of the year and shows us the real race driver he has become. For many, Michael is the driver they scream and clap for as he flies around the track each week.
