Hello my name is Randy Alvey,
I have lived in Henderson, Kentucky
since moving here with my parents in 1976. I graduated high school in 1979. I met
my beautiful wife Darla while working at Wendy’s hamburgers (must be where my
love for food came fromJ). We married 2 years after graduation and have been
married 23 years in August, long enough to become proud Grandparents of Naomi Elizabeth,
the Daughter of our son Roger and his wife Jaime. I have been employed as a
toolmaker for 25 years and have been at Sunrise Tool & Die, in Henderson
for the past 11 years.
I don’t remember when I actually got saved
as a kid, but I rededicated my life to Jesus in October of 1998. I remember it
was a Sunday afternoon and I was at home watching a race on TV, my wife Darla
was at church. I just felt the Spirit of the Lord tell me it was time to get
back in church. I got up changed clothes and went. When I got to church, I sat
in the back, they were having very good praise and
worship. At the end of the service they had an alter call, I walked up behind
my wife, tapped her on the shoulder and said lets go. Got baptized the next
week then laid the cigarettes on the alter a week
after that. I have been in church smoke free ever since. Praise God. My
favorite scripture is.
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things
through Christ which strengtheneth me.
I started drag racing after we got
married running a 1970 Chevelle. But my love has
always been dirt tracks so after a few years of boring
myself going in a straight line(and my wife beating me a few times), my older
brother and I bought a modified sportsman. We ran a few years swapping each
week as driver at local dirt tracks from Clarksville
TN to Chandler
IN. Raced a non-wing sprint car a few times at Putnamville,
Bloomington and Terrehaute IN. Never did win
any races, but I did cash a few checks. Never enough to pay the way, so when
our son started in school, the racing days diminished. (Priorities, priorities)

I have been racing online since
around May of 2002 when SkinnyDawg told me
about this cool Christian Racing series he had joined. I started racing with
the Wrangler pro stock with a dial up connection. After gaining a few memories
like leading at Watkins Glen with one lap to go and leaving to go disco
dancing. I have since upgraded to a wireless connection, which still gets warpy sometimes, but I haven’t gotten disco’d much and it has been great. I now run in the
Wrangler Pro Series on Fridays with a great group of fellow racers. I am a
member of the Racing For Jesus family and run the Christmen Truck Series on Wednesday nights.
1Co 10:31 Therefore, whether you
eat or drink, or what ever you do, do everything to the glory of God.

… Bless God!
