Introducing the Romans 8:1 Racing Team. Pastor Jeff McCulty created the racing team, which includes three of his daughters (”I’m a father to three and pastor to the rest.”) The gals were fun; they took a break from talking to me by running across the street to grab some ice cream from an ice cream truck. When I was photographing the story and having fun with the kids it felt like I was outside LA and somewhere in the midwest because 1) everyone was very patient and talking to me, not in a rush to go anywhere, and 2) I don’t really hear people talk about NASCAR here except in reference to the movie Talledega Nights.
