Glenn O’Connor and Director & Chaplain Bob Hills after Chapel and Mass in the Media Center at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. O’Connor is also pastor of St. Susanna RCC in Plainfield and has been a pit crew member at the Indy 500 since 1975. Governor Pence designated May 25 as “INDYCAR Ministry Day” in recognition of the organization’s Indy 500 Breakfast at which the first Lone Star Johnny Rutherford Award will be presented recognizing personal character and integrity on the track, in the community, and at home to a recipient from the INDYCAR community selected by peers. Ticket information about the breakfast is available here. This year’s breakfast features legendary drivers Johnny Rutherford and Parnelli Jones and current stars Conor Daily and Alex Tagliani and his spouse Bronte.
Who We Are
The IndyCar Ministry is dedicated to providing spiritual support and counseling to the IndyCar Series drivers, teams, and staff both on and off the track. The IndyCar Ministry began when the Indy Racing League was founded in 1996. With the exciting growth of IndyCar, the need for our ministry is even greater. With increased pressures and demands on drivers, teams, officials, and their families, the ministry is available to assist in many different ways. IndyCar Ministry provides support in times of crisis as well as encouragement during the challenging times of racing. We minister to the IZOD Indy Car Series, the Firestone Indy Lights Series, the Pro Mazda Championship Series, and the Cooper Tires USF2000 Series. Our ministry also touches the hundreds of personnel involved in any given race weekend including the safety team members, officials, hospitality providers, and support personnel.
