Interesting Story: Mark won the first race ever run both in PAL division & Street Stocks, won 1980 rookie of the year & Championship in Street Stocks. Became close friends with the Brazils & have too many memories of the good ‘ol days racing with all the Late Model / Super Stock drivers to list here. Below is information regarding Mar-Lee Motorsports, of which Mark is a part. Mar-Lee Motorsports is a Christian racing team originally from New Mexico but just returning from Southern California. Over the past nineteen years the team has been based in New Mexico, racing regionally throughout the southwest. With the move to Southern California the local race track that we participated at was Perris Auto Speedway in Temecula.
Our team mission is to show through example the love and friendship of a Christian and to share the word of Jesus Christ and the fact that he is our savior and would love to be theirs. What we show thru example are Christians with mainstream pursuits who enjoy life to the fullest just as they do. The difference is we believe in and are led by the teachings of our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. We are no better, just saved through Christ’s death and resurrection. We try to live and race by the example of Jesus Christ and his word from the Bible, not by the views and examples of the world.
In recent years we have tried to provide an outreach of sorts by taking someone unsaved along on a race night. We provided a new testament Bible and t-shirt, and the chance to share the good news during our time together. This was done at no charge to our guests.
We will return to our New Mexico program in 2009 and continue through the season. All costs for our program are paid for directly from the team budget; due to limited resources the number of events remains undetermined. Additional support or services provided to the team although greatly appreciated are not expected. We do request that you pray for our well-being, safety, and success as the team continues with its program.
Right now we no longer have a website up and running but upon completion we will have links to other Christian sites and our sponsor sites. To contact the team regarding support or services that you may be willing to provide feel free to call: 505 515-7065. Our E-mail address is: mark_harger2828@yahoo.com
May the Lord Richly Bless You in all of Your Endeavors.
