Faith, Finance & Fast Lanes with Frank Clement and Chris Tate
This week on The Pits Are Open, host Will Marotti and producer Alex Smith share stories of faith, perseverance, and horsepower.
First, Frank Clement, Senior Vice President of America’s Christian Credit Union, joins to talk about how the credit union supports Christian families and businesses nationwide — from ministry financing to motorsports partnerships. He shares how faith drives leadership decisions, how ACCU partners with The Pits Are Open community, and why good stewardship matters in every pit lane.
Then, U.S. Marine veteran and ARCA driver Chris Tate sits down for a powerful conversation about discipline, resilience, and racing for a higher purpose. From deployments overseas to the driver’s seat, Chris shares how service shaped his mindset, how he’s building his ARCA career, and what faith means in the heat of competition.
