TMC CHASE,
THANKS FOR ASKING JUDY & BOBBY ALLISON ABOUT WHO WROTE "THE RACER'S PRAYER.
ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO, I WAS LISTENING TO "LET'S TALK RACING WITH JOE & RUTH KELLY" RADIO PROGRAM. I FOUND OUT THAT JUDY & BOBBY ALLISON HAD TOLD RUTH & JOE KELLY THAT BOBBY'S SISTER HAD WROTE "THE RACER'S PRAYER".
I STARTING SEARCHING THE INTERNET TO FOUND OUT WHO WROTE "THE RACER'S PRAYER" ? WHAT YEAR WAS IT WRITTEN?
I FOUND OUT FROM THE INTERNET THAT IT HAS MANY VERSIONS OF THE THREE WORD TERM NAME: "THE RACER'S PRAYER".
"THE RACER'S PRAYER":
FOR GO-KART RACING, AIRPLANE RACING, BOAT RACING, MOTORCYCLE RACING, DRAG RACING, AND STOCK CAR RACING.
"THE RACER'S PRAYER": FOR MOTHERS,FATHERS,SISTERS,BROTHERS,SONS,DAUGHTERS, WHOM ARE RACERS OR INVOLVED IN RACING.
TWO WEEKS AGO, ON JOE & RUTH KELLY RADIO TALK SHOW, JOE & RUTH KELLY SAID THAT BOBBY ALLISON'S SISTER WHO NAME IS CLAIRE SUNDMAN, WROTE "THE RACER'S PRAYER".
AFTER I FOUND OUT BOBBY ALLISON AND TMC CHASE/HAROLD/TIM MIGHT HAVE AN AUTOGRAPH MEETING THIS PAST SATURDAY.
I ASKED TMC CHASE/HAROLD/TIM TO ASKED BOBBY ALLISON WHO WROTE "THE RACER'S PRAYER".
I FOUND OUT FROM TMC CHASE THAT JUDY & BOBBY ALLISON SAID, BOBBY'S SISTER WHO NAME IS CLAIRE SUNDMAN, WROTE "THE RACER'S PRAYER".
I WISHED IN THE FUTURE, THAT JUDY AND BOBBY ALLISON WOULD GIVE US AN DATE AND COPY OF THE CLAIRE SUNDMAN'S "THE RACER'S PRAYER".
MAYBE IN THE ALLISON FAMILY BIBLE, THERE IS AN CLAIRE SUNDMAN HAND WRITING DATED ORGINAL OF "THE RACER'S PRAYER".
IT WOULD VERY INTERESTING TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLAIRE SUNDMAN'S VERSION OF "THE RACER'S PRAYER" AND THE OTHER VERSIONS OF "THE RACER'S PRAYER".
ABOVE IS THREE VERSIONS OF THE THREE WORD TERM NAME: "THE RACER'S PRAYER" THAT WAS POSTED AT THIS WEBSITE.
#1. BROTHER BILL FRAZIER'S "WITH "GOD" YOU'RE ALWAYS A WINNER" VERSION OF "THE RACER'S PRAYER".

MANY TIMES BEFORE THE RACE AS RACE TRACK ANNOUNCER, JOE KELLY OF "LET'S TALK RACING WITH JOE & RUTH KELLY" SAID THAT HE HAS USED BROTHER BILL FRAZIER'S WITH "GOD" YOU'RE ALWAYS A WINNER VERSION OF "THE RACER'S PRAYER".
MANY TIMES, JOE KELLY IS REQUESTED BY FAMILY MEMBERS TO SAY "THE RACER'S PRAYER" AT THE AUTO RACER'S FUNERAL.
IN MY HEART I KNOW WHO WROTE THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF "THE RACER'S PRAYER".
"GOD"
Thanks for any information or photos posted.
