Kyle and Michelle Froman, married since December of 2003, began their journey into the world of motor sports ministry in 2004. 

Michelle, having graduated from Brownsville School of Ministry in Pensacola, Fl and Kyle, having been on staff at Music City Assembly of God for several years felt equipped to answer the call to serve as Chaplains at the famed Music City Motorplex (Fairgrounds Speedway) in 2004.

As the duo continued to serve at the Motorplex they also expanded into traveling with both the NASCAR Autozone Elite Series and NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour as their Chaplains in the 2006 race season.

As the 2006 race season drew to a close, NASCAR closed the book to the Elite series, retiring it from competition. This left Kyle and Michelle free to focus on the Motorplex and the Modifieds as they stepped into 2007. 

The year 2007 is also when Raymond Rizzo joined the team to stabilize the Motorplex while Kyle and Michelle were on the road. Ministry at the 'Plex was a perfect fit for Raymond.

Heading into the 2008 season, Kyle and Michelle handed the Motorplex ministry completely over to Raymond as their primary focus will now be with the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour. Kyle will also be placing a stronger emphasis on findingthefinish.com to continue to foster a community safehave both for the 'Plex and the Modifieds.

Michelle also finds herself with new responsibilities heading into the new season. Besides serving on the road with Kyle, she will now be serving as an administrative assistant for findingthefininsh.com.

Kyle and Michelle are also expecting their first child. Due in August of 2008.

In August of 2006, Raymond Rizzo visited the Music City Motorplex to present the invocation for the NASCAR Elite Southeast Series race. Little did he know at that point, that this was his first step into motor sports ministry.

Raymond, now heading into his second year of ministry at the Music City Motorplex, is married to his lovely wife of 26 years, Lois. They also have a fur-kid, Katelyn.

The unique world of motor sports isn't Raymond's first foray into ministry. Raymond previously pastored a church in Plymouth, PA and has been involved in various para-church ministries since 1982.

Raymond was also the Road Manager for gospel singer John Starnes for 3 1/2 years. With John Starnes, Raymond had the opportunity to travel the world while ministering to millions of people worldwide.

Raymond, who holds a double major in Bible and Pastoral Ministry, has a deep passion to encourage people to explore why they believe what they believe. (1 Peter 3:15).
