As an 8-year-old, Pastor Don Wickstrum ("Fastest Pastor") had a dream to race in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb after seeing Bobby Unser do it on TV.  Despite his dream, Don eventually created one of the largest robotic integrators in the country.

In 2018, Don received a doctor’s report that no one wants to hear—colon cancer. His doctor advised Don to step away from his business to extend his life. The diagnosis would put Don on a new journey with purpose and fulfillment. This former atheist accepted Jesus Christ with a new perspective on his life. Whatever Don was going to do, it would include serving God because of his deep understanding of who he was in Christ.

A friend encouraged Don to pursue his dream. After he and his wife sought God’s direction, Don’s childhood dream would come to true. Eventually, the multimedia company “I Am Second”, founded by Norm Miller, would document Don’s story in a movie called, “Chasing Hope.” The film follows Don as he shares the Hope of Jesus Christ on and off the track.

Don will race again on June 25, 2023. He will race 12.42 miles that day complete with 156 turns. With each turn, Don will face each one, all while Chasing Hope.
