With the 2024 racing season beginning, I wanted to take a second and give some plans and clear the air on our future of Chase Frohnapfel Racing. As some of you may know I’m still in college and haven’t found a career that I'm truly passionate about. I’m very fortunate that mom pushed me to get an education because that can lead to opportunities, I’m fortunate that my father and grandfather gave me the shop to work out of and now it’s turned into a very good side business as well, and as you may know, racing has been a huge part of my life as well. Racing has been my plan since I was five. Somehow, or someway I was going to be a professional race car driver. Well recently, I’ve felt this calling from God to ministry. I’ve always believed and I've always gone to church but I’ve jumped head first into it deeper this year and it’s led me to being called to spread his word in a bigger way. I’m not exactly sure what it looks like just yet. It may be within youth ministry. It may be family ministry, it may be me owning and pastoring my very own church one day. I’m not exactly sure. I do know this, I’ve never felt anything so strongly in my life, and I know when I’m talking to Jesus, praying, worshiping, or giving messages regardless if it’s 30 seconds or 30 minutes I’ve never felt more peace and joy in my life. I’ve jumped into it more in-depth this year by volunteering in many ways and just have been building my faith, and growing in my relationship with Christ, and it has brought so much excitement and true joy in my life. Jumping into ministry has led me to also start a few classes in ministry school. With that being said. I love racing, I always have and always will. It brings our whole family together. It’s an adrenaline rush and it allows me to work with my dad and brother every week who are my best friends. With that though it also has become somewhat of a burden and caused me to fall behind in other areas of life. My relationship with God has struggled, financially I have struggled, and mentally at times, racing is draining. So all of that is to say I’m gonna slow down racing for a little while. I’m not quitting, I’m not giving up but slowing down. I’m not exactly sure what that looks like fully but until I get some of my life back together in other areas racing needs to be on hold for a bit. Ministry is my main focus and I want to make sure I’m not cheating that. I love racing, but I love pursuing and spreading Jesus more. I owe it to this world to share Jesus, I believe God has given me a platform and opportunities I can’t ignore. I just wanted to let everyone know. I still plan to race. When that will be I’m not exactly sure and when I do it may be very minimal because of my focus on ministry. I hope everyone can understand. I appreciate everyone’s support and love, every single one of you pushes me to be better and I’m excited to embark on a new journey in my life! Along with that if anyone has any questions or wants to go in depth I’d love to discuss it further with you! You can text or message me, or call me, we can schedule a meeting, we can have dinner or coffee, or all of the above. Also if for any reason at all you need prayer or just want to talk Jesus I’m available at any time, please never hesitate whether online or in person at the track!
Thank you,
Love Chase ✝️
