                        HONORING DARRELL WALTRIP

  (Mrs. BLACKBURN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor one of my 
constituents, someone that many of my colleagues may know, Darrell 
Waltrip. My colleagues might know him by his 84 racing victories, third 
best victory in NASCAR circuit or from his newest career in 
broadcasting. In middle Tennessee, we also know that he is a successful 
businessman.
  But to those suffering with Multiple Sclerosis, he is more; he is a 
hero.
  This year, Darrell is being honored by the Mid South Chapter of the 
National MS Society with the MS Hope Award for his outstanding 
dedication to helping end this devastating disease.
  Darrell has given of his time and of his heart to educate the public 
on what we can do to help eradicate MS, and his support of the Mid 
South Chapter has been to expand the advocacy and research.
  Today, I want to join those honoring Darrell Waltrip and thank him 
for his continuing fight against MS.
