 Witnessing moves from revival tent to fast lane - Daytona 500 - MSNBC.com
Phil Coale / AP The crew and race car of NASCAR driver Bobby Labonte wait for inspection before the start of Daytona 500 qualifying on Sunday. On the hood of Labonte's car is the promotion of the controversial movie, "The Passion of the Christ." “It’s a chance to get the word out,” Labonte said.
The hood of Labonte’s car is both a shameless movie plug — “The Passion of the Christ,” coming soon to a theater near you — and some new-style proselytizing for the Gospel.
For Labonte, it was a no-brainer to plug Mel Gibson’s film on the No. 18 car, especially since the movie focuses on the seminal event in the Christian faith — the crucifixion of Jesus.
