From synopsis:

“When aspiring NASCAR driver Camber Berkley wrecks his car and – literally – crashes a funeral in tiny Judas Grove, Tennessee, the locals consider him an answer to prayer. The deceased was an elderly NASCAR fan with a $2 million estate and no living relatives, and his will stipulates that the money be given to one of the village churches. But which one? Why, to the one with the faster pastor. All the ministers are to borrow a stock car from regular drivers at the county speedway, and they will have a race among themselves for the $2 million legacy. There’s just one problem…
None of the ministers knows how to race. But suddenly a real, live NASCAR driver turns up in the county jail, charged with reckless driving, and their problem is solved. Camber Berkley is sentenced to two weeks of community service, teaching ten middle-aged ministers how to race stock cars.
The ministers agree to participate in the race in hopes of funding a worthy cause: Father Frankie wants a day care center for migrant workers; Brother Travis needs a sanctuary for his serpent-handling congregation; Rev. Romney Marsh wants state-of-the-art advertising for his mega church; and shy and solitary Agnes Hill-Radnor wants to build a center for the study of Angels. (Camber asks, “Have you caught one yet?”)
For Camber, the cynical city sophisticate, this sojourn in a small town will repay his teaching with life lessons in faith, trust and friendship. The ministers find that racing is a test of skill as well as faith, and, when Camber’s life is suddenly in jeopardy, they are required to produce a small miracle – with the help of another jail inmate, a mysterious Mexican guy named Jesus.”
