Davey Hamilton has had a long career in motorsports racing sprint cars, midgets and silver crown cars on dirt tracks across the country. He's also been a fixture in the NTT IndyCar Series and has 11 Indy 500 starts under his belt with a best finish of fourth. These days, Hamilton is still driving Indy cars – specifically the INDYCAR Experience Two-Seater giving fans and VIPs a thrill ride before the start of series races. With all his experience behind the wheel, he's parlayed that into a career behind the microphone as well being a color commentator on the IndyCar Radio Network. In addition to being on the ownership side of things in racing, Hamilton, as you can imagine, is a very busy guy. We caught up with him at the 2024 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach Press Day where he fills us in on his association with Kingdom Racing and how that organization is helping those who have experienced hard times and loss. He also talks a bit about last week's guest, Sting Ray Robb. Enjoy! NOTE: For more information on Kingdom Racing, please visit: www.kingdomracing.net

Davey Hamilton Jr., BG Southern Sprint Car Series Champion; Wayne Scott, Midwest Winter Nationals at Du Quoin winner; and Larry Boos, The Rumble at Fort Wayne promoter are this week's guests.
January 4, 2021 It's Season No. 2 in 2022 for Pit Pass Indy as we speed ahead into the new year of IndyCar action. Our special guest in the first episode of Season 2 is celebrating the 25th Anniversary of his INDYCAR SERIES championship. It's 1997 Indy Racing League champion Tony Stewart. Before he went on to win three NASCAR Cup Series championships and become a Cup Series championship owner with Kevin Harvick in 2014, Stewart was an Indy car racing star. In 1995, Stewart became the first driver in history to win all three United States Auto Club (USAC) National Championships in the same season when he won the Midget, Sprint, and Silver Crown series. That made him the perfect fit for a step up to the new Indy Racing League in 1996 as the original goal of that series was to promote grass roots, oval track drivers from the United States. Stewart won the Indy Racing League championship in a 10-race season in 1997 that also included his first career INDYCAR victory at Pikes Peak International Raceway that season. He won two-more INDYCAR contests in 1998 with victories at Disney World and New Hampshire that season. Stewart finished third in the standings that year with Kenny Brack winning the championship and Davey Hamilton second. Stewart traded in his Indy car for a NASCAR Cup Series car in 1999, setting a then-rookie record with three wins his first season. Stewart won Cup Series titles in 2002, 2006 and 2011. He retired from Cup Series racing as a driver following the 2016 season with 49 career wins. Stewart remains as one of NASCAR's top Cup Series team owners and this year, started an NHRA drag racing team for his wife, Leah Pruett. He also owns one of the top grass roots operations in racing, Tony Stewart Racing. Stewart continues to drive race cars around the country in various divisions at the grass-roots level. Pit Pass Indy show host Bruce Martin interviewed Stewart at the famed “Yard of Bricks” at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on December 10, 2021.

Many people have the misconception that all racing is, is going fast and turning left. EYFPodcast got the chance to sit down with IndyCar racing legend and Team owner Davey Hamilton and we got an insiders look into what it's like to race at Indianapolis and in the race of life. According to Davey it's all about prayer, spiritual strength and growing in your faith when you're flying around a race track at 220 mph. Prayer does work in racing as does having faith in God but it is also for when life crashes all around you and you don’t know where to start to pick up the pieces. Follow Davey at Kingdom Racing (www.kingdomracing.net) and King of the Wing (www.kingofthewing.net) to find out where he's going to be racing at next on a wing and a prayer and be sure to subscribe to his plan for a better life: 1. Study the Word of God2. Develop spiritual strength through prayer3. Focus on scriptures on Faith4. Exercise your faith daily
