NASCAR Driver 🏁 Joshua 1:8-9 🙌🏼

Race City, NC
I don’t even know where to start, thank you all so much for the support. I wanted to win so dang bad. The crowd reaction after the race absolutely broke me down and melted my heart. My entire team is so amazing and I’m lucky to have @MikeCWheeler as crew chief...he is THE BEST

I don’t even have the words to describe how thankful I am!! Paul is such a great guy and I’m lucky to call him a friend and I wish him the best! So excited to take over and drive for one of the most legendary teams in NASCAR next year! I have so many people to thank!!!! 🥳
Here’s one you weren’t expecting: Paul is stepping away from full time competition at the end of the season and @mattdracing will be taking over our @MenardsRacing @MQL_Racing Mustang, starting in 2020. Surprised eh? woodbrothersracing.com/news/…

I will never forget this moment for the rest of my life...unbelievable. This brought emotion to not only myself but all of my 95 guys for their hard work in building this single car operation ❤️
Here’s something I’ll remember for a long, long time: The Bristol crowd erupts as @mattdracing appears on the video board.

DO NOT be rude to strangers. I’ve encountered far too many people lately (another today) who either can’t mind their own business, or are rude for no reason. Practice being kind and respectful to others. It’s becoming a lost art

Today during pre-race we will show the world what LOVE for one another looks like. Love for the entire human race. No politics, no agenda or narrative, no attacking people for their views, just love and spreading positivity. We can’t let terrible people drag us down

Not their fault, they did not know. The whole Nascar community is praying hard
#NASCAR ... Car owner Joe Gibbs apologizes in media center for team celebrating Daytona 500 win in light of Ryan Newman's crash. Gibbs said team didn't know about severity of Newman's crash until being informed about it in victory lane.

These awesome fans drove all the way from Colorado and waited outside of the racetrack to have me sign some things and to say hello. These moments really make me so appreciative and blow me away! (Especially since I don’t think I’m that cool of a guy 😂)

What @stoolpresidente and the #barstoolfund are doing is nothing short of incredible. Small businesses are the backbone of our country! Tay and I donated and I ask you all to please share and continue helping! 👏

Great car, shit luck again. Air gun broke on the last stop and got 3 new tires on and ran an old LF for the entire last stage and nursed it home. It’s almost a damn joke at this point

Ran around the top 5 all day and then we had to drive 3 and 4 wide from 18th or so to 3rd in the final 2 restarts...I’d say my @woodbrothers21 team gave me a fast car 😂
