Does anyone remember hearing this? When I used to go to Southside Speedway on Fridays and South Boston or Langley on Saturdays, they would say the Racer's Prayer. It is forever embedded in my head, so I thought I would place it here."The Racer's PrayerLord, I pray as I race today,Keep me safe along the way.Not only me, but the others too,As they perform the jobs they do.I know God, that in every race,I, the driver must set the pace.But in this race of life I prayHelp me Lord along the way.I know that I am a sinnerBut help me to believe with God I am always a winner.unknown author"I have seen this printed a few different ways, but this is the one I remember. I hope I am posting this in a good location as I figured the poetry area was where it should be.
