1. Most people don't know what Kingdom Racing is about and how it got started. What is the team's mission and what inspired you to start it?
KR started as result of God working in my life. It began in 2005 as a prayer when I asked God how I could possibly serve Him to honor all the blessings received. The response was "build an Indy team to deliver God's word through motorsports". It was an impossible task for a man, but proves that with God, all things are possible.
2. Over the last two years, Davey hamilton has played a big role at Kingdom Racing. How did you get involved with him?
In March 2008, we interviewed a few IndyCar teams for a 500 effort. One of the team principals recommended a meeting with Davey. We hit it off within the first 30 seconds of meeting and have been partners ever since.
3. IZOD was recently announced as the title sponsor for the IndyCar Series. How big is this for the Series and how much will Kingdom Racing benefit from it?
IZOD is great for the Series and anything good for IndyCar will be good for KR as we will be able to reach a greater audience.
4.Brandon Wagner drove a partial Firestone Indy Lights season with your team in 2009. Will he be back next year?
Absolutely! Brandon did a great job in 2009 as a rookie on a new team and driving a limited schedule. Showed fine form during the final three oval races: Kentucky, Chicago and Miami.
5. As team owner,How much time work do you put into Kingdom Racing to make it a sucessful effort?
About 50% of my time is dedicated to KR.
6. You ran the Indy 500 with the help of Dreyer and Reinbold Racing this past month of May. Will that partnership extend in to next season?
DRR is a good team and we are talking with them for 2010.
7. Tell us a little more about the team's opperations. How many crew members do you employ? What kind of facility do you opperate out of? What kind of equipment do you own? (cars, transporters, ect.)
KR is housed at Wagner Racing in Lafayette, IN. We currently have four on staff, and will build up once the 2010 race season gets under way. The team has 2 x Lights Dallara's, a Fully equipped race Transporter and related pit equipment/tractors.
