DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- When Bobby Labonte takes the green flag in Sunday's Daytona 500, he'll be racing for victory -- and the Lord.

The hood of Labonte's car is both a shameless movie plug -- "The Passion of the Christ," coming soon to a theater near you -- and some new-style proselytizing for the Gospel.

Yes, witnessing has moved from the revival tent to the fast lane.

"It's a chance to get the word out," Labonte said about the ad on his car. "Someone who is curious about Jesus and has never been saved sees the race and says, 'Hmmm, I'd like to see what that's about.' ... Maybe we can change their minds."

He talked about his car advertising the film, "The Passion". He said of the film, that it was bloody, but...

that the BLOOD OF JESUS IS WHAT HIS COMING WAS ALL ABOUT!

WOW! :faint

People watching the talking heads don't often get to have the blood of Jesus preached to them. Ha, I haven't heard it in church for quite a while...

Anyway, whatever anyone's opinion of the movie, it is being used, and to tell the real meaning of Christianity.

Joe Gibbs, who recently accepted a return to the NFL to coach the Redskins, owns the #18 race car which Bobby Labonte drives and the #20 race car which Tony Stewart drives. Joe Gibbs is a fellow believer and Christian.
