Chastity.com and NASCAR Driver Mike Laheta Agree to a Multi-Year Partnership

Not your typical sponsorship agreement, NASCAR driver Mike Laheta has partnered with renowned author Jason Evert and his website, Chastity.com to help promote the message of chastity through motorsports.


Chastity.com has agreed to the terms of a multi-year partnership with NASCAR driver Mike Laheta. The arrangement came about after Apologist, Author, and Chastity Speaker Jason Evert and NASCAR Driver Mike Laheta met after one of Jason’s “Romance Without Regret” presentations at St. Mark’s Church in Huntersville, NC.

NASCAR has long been a means for Fortune 500 companies to spread their messages to America and the goal of this partnership is no different. “We aren’t selling a product that you use and throw away, we are selling a lifestyle of virtue and purity” says Laheta. In addition to providing chastity literature and other promotional materials to fans at the tracks, the Chastity.com logo will be displayed on Laheta’s car, driver uniform, and website.

Chastity.com is an excellent and accessible resource for those interested in and those committed to living a chaste lifestyle. The website features a Q&A section, testimonials from NFL Quarterback Phillip Rivers, information on giving a chastity talk and more resources on chastity. The website tackles tough topics such as pornography, cohabitation, birth control, dating, and the notorious “how far is too far” question.

Jason Evert earned a master's degree in theology, and undergraduate degrees in counseling and theology, with a minor in philosophy at Franciscan University of Steubenville. He is the author of ten books, including If You Really Loved Me, Pure Love, and Theology of the Body for Teens, which challenge young people to be pure. Jason speaks at seminars, participates in debates, and responds to thousands of questions about chastity and Catholicism from people around the world.

After giving chastity presentations solo for three years, Jason teamed up with his wife Crystalina. They now speak internationally to over 100,000 teens each year in Catholic, Christian, and public junior and senior high schools, as well as universities. Both Jason and Crystalina are full-time apologists with Catholic Answers, the nation's largest lay-run apostolate for apologetics and evangelization. After a year of speaking as an engaged couple, Jason and Crystalina married in 2003, and continue to share their inspirational testimonies with teens as well as parents. In their highly popular chastity seminar, "Romance without Regret," the duo provides compelling and uplifting reasons for embracing the virtue of chastity

The Everts are on the Board of Advisors for the National Abstinence Clearinghouse, and are frequent guests on radio programs throughout the country. Their television appearances include Fox News, the BBC, Donahue, WGN-TV news, and EWTN. They have hosted a pair of TV series for teens on EWTN: “The Pure Life” and “Theology of the Body for Teens.” Jason's video “ Teen Relationships and Sexual Pressure.” was given the Silver Crown Award for Best Youth Video by International Christian Visual Media and the two of them were given the 2003 Impact Award by the National Abstinence Clearinghouse in recognition of their success with teens in America.

Mike Laheta is a 19 year old Belmont Abbey College student pursuing a degree in Motorsports Management. He excels in the classroom and maintains an A- grade point average. Earlier this spring, Laheta was approved to compete in NASCAR and was awarded with a NASCAR Driver’s License. He is currently working toward his goal of racing in NASCAR’s top division, the Sprint Cup series. He has recently been testing in Late Model and Modified cars at Carolina Speedway, just outside of Charlotte, NC. “I know I have a long ways to go towards accomplishing my goal, but I also know what I have to do to get there. I feel like I am doing everything I am supposed to right now to put myself in that position in a few years” says Laheta. The racetrack isn’t the only place Mike is trying to prove his speed; as he is also a track and cross country runner at Belmont Abbey College, which competes in the NCAA’s Division II.

Mike is originally from Cleveland, Ohio and relocated to Charlotte in hopes of pursuing his NASCAR dreams. In addition to racing, he has a strong passion for the business side of motorsports. He has interned in the marketing department at RoushYates Engines and currently works as a Marketing Assistant at East Lincoln Speedway. His other hobbies include fishing, camping, running, and participating in campus ministry events at Belmont Abbey.

On the partnership with Evert and Chastity.com
“I cherish my Catholic faith and my relationship with Jesus Christ. There are so many people out there that need to hear the message of chastity and purity, and I have no doubt that this partnership will help to reach many of them. I am really excited to be working with Jason and doing my part to share this message and be an example to other young men on what it means to be chaste. I am in a position to be a role model and I embrace that. If people can look at me and the way I live my life and it inspires them, that’s great.”
