                 IN RECOGNITION OF TROOPS TO THE TRACK

  (Mr. GUTHRIE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the Troops 
to the Track's fifth anniversary.
  A partnership between the Armed Forces Foundation and NASCAR, Troops 
to the Track is a recreational group therapy program for 
servicemembers, veterans, and their families. Now in its fifth year, 
Troops to the Track has reached more than 2,000 individuals since its 
inception. I am humbled to be part of this initiative.
  Last year, I was honored to join participating soldiers and their 
families from the 19th Engineer Battalion at Fort Knox for last year's 
Quaker State 400 at the Kentucky Speedway.
  I would like to commend the Armed Forces Foundation and NASCAR for 
joining together in the creation of this important partnership and in 
giving our troops the recognition they so richly deserve.
