ABOUT THE TRACE
The ultimate goal isn’t simply better drivers or better cars.
It’s seeing people become healthier individuals, stronger leaders, better spouses and parents, and more engaged members of their communities.
Cars and driving are the common ground, but they’re not the destination. The Trace is a place where people can learn skills, take on challenges, build relationships, and find a sense of belonging. We believe those experiences can create opportunities for growth far beyond the shop or the track.
We want to see people gain confidence, learn to work with their hands, take responsibility, encourage one another, and discover what they’re capable of. We want to build a community where people are known, challenged, supported, and given opportunities to lead.
At the end of the day, success for The Trace won’t be measured only by the cars built or the laps driven. It will be measured by the people who walk through our doors and leave better equipped to live, lead, work, and serve their families and communities.

The Heart of the Trace
Generations are rediscovering the automobile through participation at record levels. They aren't simply watching motorsports from the stands. They are building cars, modifying daily drivers, driving, creating content, attending meets, and building friendships around something they love. Our driving course is focus on drifting as it has emerged as one of the most compelling forms of motorsport because it combines budget building, creativity, mechanical skill, personality and participation.
The interest is there. What is missing is a place for it to become community.
That is where The Trace comes in.
The Trace is a faith-based nonprofit built on the belief that people find their deepest health, purpose, and identity in Christ. But faith isn't a prerequisite for belonging. The Trace is home for automotive culture and community in Middle Tennessee to bring your car, learn, build, drive, create, gather, and belong. People don't have to share our faith to participate; they simply have to be part of the community. Our faith isn't what separates us from the community, but rather it is what compels us to serve it.
