I thank my colleague from California for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Marcus Smith, who is the president and CEO of Speedway Motorsports and the owner of the North Wilkesboro Speedway. Marcus and his family have helped lead the charge to restore the 75- year-old racetrack so that countless racing enthusiasts can experience and celebrate the history of stock car racing. The entire Wilkes County community is buzzing with anticipation over the upcoming NASCAR All-Star Race which will be hosted at the North Wilkesboro Speedway on May 21. Thanks to the dedication of Marcus and his family in seeing this project through to fruition, a piece of North Carolina's history is back in the spotlight for the entire country to see. This is no small feat, Mr. Speaker. Congratulations to Marcus Smith and the Smith family on this monumental accomplishment. Recognizing Terri Parsons
