NASCAR Nation­wide dri­ver Michael McDow­ell lists faith and fam­i­ly first and sec­ond under “per­son­al inter­ests” on his bio, and now the No. 81 car he dri­ves will show off his faith tonight at Gate­way Inter­na­tion­al Race­way in Madi­son, Ill.

The No. 81 paint scheme for the Dodge-Deal­ers 250 fea­tures the blue and yel­low logo of radio sta­tion K‑Love, along with new spon­sor Pre­mier Chris­t­ian Cruis­es.

“Because we have enjoyed a long-stand­ing rela­tion­ship with K‑LOVE, it is a nat­ur­al fit for us to join them in spon­sor­ing this excit­ing young dri­ver as he races, not only for the Mac­Don­ald Motor­sports, but for the glo­ry of God,” Dar­rell Bur­row, Pre­mier’s vice pres­i­dent of sales and cus­tomer ser­vice, said in a press release. “We hope this is just the begin­ning of an ongo­ing part­ner­ship with K‑LOVE and the #81 team.”

The race will be tele­cast live at 6 p.m. (Moun­tain) on ESPN2. McDow­ell is 19th in the point stand­ings head­ing into Sat­ur­day’s race.
