  (Mr. WALBERG asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)

2018.

Michigan

International Speedway is one of the Nation's premier racing 
facilities. Throughout the season, MIS will be commemorating this 
milestone by showcasing many of the memorable moments and drivers in 
the track's history.
  I look forward to joining everyone to kick off their first NASCAR 
race of the year, which is just weeks away. In addition to NASCAR, MIS 
offers year-round entertainment and festivals, making it a leading 
tourist attraction for people near and far.
  Through their extensive charity work and programs like the Spirit of 
America Blood Drive, MIS is actively involved in improving the 
community and impacting lives.
  Mr. Speaker, Michigan International Speedway is a staple of our 
community and the world of racing. We are fortunate to have them in the 
Seventh District.
  Here is to 50 more years of lasting memories for fans and drivers 
alike.
