Welcome to "Ask the White House" -- an online interactive forum where you can

Cabinet Secretaries, Senior White House Officials and behind-the-scenes professionals at the White House. http://www.whitehouse.gov/ask/-------------------------------------------

What do you think of the President going to the Daytona?
Michael Waltrip
I think it is great. I was fortunate enough to get to go to the White House and check out where he works this past December.
Now he is going to go to Daytona and see where we work. I’m just honored that he is going to be here and hopefully he will enjoy himself.

What do you think of Bobby Labonte promoting the Passion of the Christ on his car?
Michael Waltrip
I think it is great. I’m a Christian and when I look up and see clouds and Christ’s name on his hood – it takes me to a happy place.
I’m really glad that we have the ability to make decisions like that that are obviously influential in a positive way on lots of people.

Michael. Does your faith in God prior to strapping into the driver's seat play a major role in your NASCAR successes and marriage to Buffy? We love you at the Monster Mile here in Dover Delaware God Bless,
Michael Waltrip
First of all, it is important to me that I have faith because I talk to God and I talk to Jesus when I’m racing and before I race.
That’s just a part of who I am and how I go about things. The church we attend is Lake Forest Christian Church in Davidson, North Carolina.
