A Tennessee pastor drew raucous cheers and applause from a NASCAR crowd with a moving blessing.
Brother Joe Nelms delivered the invocation on Saturday night before the Federated Auto Parts 300 Nationwide Series race in Nashville. The prayer started out normally enough, with the pastor giving thanks for all the blessings of the 'heavenly father.'

He then took a strange turn with gratitude for GM performance technology, R07 engines and 'Goodyear tires that bring performance and power to the track.' Brother Nelms, the pastor of Family Baptist church in Lebanon, Tenn., then raised his voice as he brought his family into the prayer.
'Lord I want to thank you for my smokin' hot wife tonight, Lisa, and my two children Eli and Emma - or as we like to call them - the little E's.' In Jesus’ name - boogity, boogity, boogity – Amen!'

That's a great scene in the middle of a barely-watchable movie.
