SAN FRANCISCO, CA. A RICHARD CHILDRESS RACING DRIVER DEVELOPMENT TEAM FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, JANUARY 28, 2009 

Blake Koch and the God Speaks #21 car shines as future star at weekend’s Toyota All-Star Showdown Written By: Jana Simard West Palm Beach, FL – This weekend at the Toyota All Star Showdown in Irwindale, California, Blake Koch caught the attention of NASCAR fans across the nation. Koch and the God Speaks #21 car are going to be a serious contender for the NASCAR Camping World West series this year. Blake literally roared onto the scene in the #21 car that reads: “One Nation Under Me…God.” 

Fans, media, and pit-crews, were all buzzing about the rookie driver with God’s name on the hood. In the preliminary 50 lap race, Blake started 12th and charged to 7th! The racing was brutal in the 50 lap format, but Blake battled to gain five hard fought spots. At about the 25 lap mid-point Blake made a bold move and raced by 3 drivers. Blake’s noteworthy 7th finish, against some of the top drivers in the nation, has a lot of people talking. After the race, thousands of fans swarmed to see Blake and catch a glimpse of the #21 GodSpeaks.com car. The GodSpeaks booth crew passed out free shirts that read: “If you must curse use your own name…God.”

One fan commented, “I think it’s great to have a car that talks about God. It’s about time, since every kind of sponsor is here.” All in all, the event was a major success for the glory of God. And despite the rain, Blake loved the experience and opportunity to really get to know his crew. “I really appreciate all of their hard work. At next year’s showdown, I will have ten times more experience and I’m going into the season opener in March with my head up high and expecting a victory.”
