Max Helton Dies
Max Helton, who formed a Christian ministry that 20 years ago became Motor Racing Outreach, died Sunday afternoon of brain cancer at his home in Huntersville, N.C. He was 67.
“This is an earthly loss but a heavenly gain,” said Texas Motor Speedway president Eddie Gossage, who serves on the Board of Directors of World-Span Ministries, Helton’s international motorsports ministry.
“Max aided so many people in auto racing and you would often see him with some of the sport’s top drivers offering a quiet prayer just before the start of a race. He very personally counseled me through the years and was a great influence on my life.”
Helton will be remembered during pre-race ceremonies Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway.
