                   HONORING PENSKE RACING/WILL POWER

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

[[Page H6192]]

  

  Mr. BUDD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize 
Mooresville, North Carolina's own, the Penske racing team, as they 
recently added yet another big win to their legendary trophy case and 
brought home the 2018 Indianapolis 500.
  North Carolina is proud of the whole team, Mr. Speaker, but I want to 
specifically recognize Will Power who was behind the wheel when they 
took home the win. I also want to recognize team owner, Roger Penske, 
who, with this latest win, can claim his 17th victory at the speedway.
  Iredell County and the entire State of North Carolina is proud of the 
32 national championships, including 15 in IndyCar, specifically coming 
from the Penske team.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent a group whose leadership, 
determination, and drive brings so much pride to our area. I am also 
glad they choose this part of North Carolina to call home, and I look 
forward to their bringing even more trophies back to our area in the 
coming years.
