Now *THAT’S* how you pray for NASCAR (morning links)

This is an actual prayer, from actual clergyman Joe Nelms, of Family Baptist Church in Tennessee: “Dear Lord, thank you for these mighty machines that you’ve brought before us. Thank you for the Dodges and the Toyotas. Thank you for the Fords, and most of all, we thank you for Roush and Yates partnerin’, to give us the power that we see before us tonight. THANK YOU FOR GM PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGY AND RO7 ENGINES! THANK YOU FOR SUNOCO RACING FUEL AND GOODYEAR TIRES THAT BRING PERFORMANCE AND POWER TO THE TRACK! LORD I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR MY SMOKIN’ HOT WIFE, LISA! MY TWO CHILDREN, ELI AND EMMA, OR AS WE LIKE TO CALL ‘EM, THE LITTLE HEATHENS. … IN JESUS NAME, BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY AMEN!” Okay, so apparently he stole the “smokin’ hot wife” part from Talladega Nights and the “Boogity Boogity Boogity, Amen part (MY GOD, WHY DON’T ALL PRAYERS END THIS WAY???) from Darrell Waltrip. Still, there was a good portion of that that was all Joe Nelms. I’m not sure whitey will be allowed to laugh at crazy black preachers after this. [Thanks to Tennesseean Leah for the tip]
