Excerpted and adapted from A Man’s Guide to the Spiritual Disciplines, Moody Press. Early in the 2001 NASCAR season, Steve Park had everything going for him. He was driving for Dale Earnhardt, Inc.

Park was racing in the Nextel Cup Series—the top league in stock cars, the “brass ring.” Yet, like a lot of other guys, Park wanted to drive in other leagues as well.
