Meet Deb Wuethrich
Deb Wuethrich (pronounced “We-trick”) loves Jesus Christ, family, friends, and racing. Her writing grows out of the people, experiences, and faith that have shaped her life.
From newsroom to speedway
As a community journalist for the Tecumseh Herald in Michigan, Deb also covered motorsports at nearby Michigan International Speedway.
Where the book began
While walking through a speedway garage as a reporter, Deb felt the Holy Spirit nudging her toward connections between racing and the Christian life. Those connections became Victory on the Gracetrack: 101 Devotions for Race Fans.
“I realized God can work through anything, even racing.”
Home again
A columnist for more than three decades, Deb continues to write “Home Again” for the Olean Times Herald in Olean, New York. She lives in nearby Portville, where she grew up and went to school.
