        IN HONOR OF 2015 NASCAR HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE REX WHITE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RICHARD HUDSON

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 26, 2015

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate 
racing legend Rex White upon his induction into the sixth class of the 
NASCAR Hall of Fame.
  After being diagnosed with polio as a child, White didn't imagine 
automobiles as anything more than a source of transportation. However, 
by the time he started racing in NASCAR in 1956, White was ready to 
start one of the most consistent careers in NASCAR history.
  The Taylorsville, North Carolina, native finished among the top five 
in 110 of the 233 races he participated in. His skill on the short 
tracks that dominated the schedule in his era allowed him to tally up 
top five and top ten finishes at a historic rate.
  White won six times during his 1960 championship season and his 
victory total ranks 22nd among all-time premier series winners.
  Rex White was named one of NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers in 1998 and 
it is an honor to congratulate this North Carolina native on his 
induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
