It wasn't something people were used to seeing at Dominion Raceway. Instead of souped-up NASCARs, the lanes were replaced by hundreds of ordinary trucks and sedans, parked all across the asphalt. For once, the cameras weren't trained on lap-leaders but a worship team, singing with families from their cars. When Pastor Ernest Custalow got up to preach, separated by pit row, the Virginia congregation honked appreciatively. Despite a challenging few weeks, Grace Church could take a victory lap. They managed to keep people safe and still celebrate the holiest day of the year -- together.

"We are walking," a fellow chaplain said somberly, "in the valley of the shadow of death." They do it with families, fears, and fragilities of their own -- but they do it, in many cases, because they are the only ones who can.
