Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, on May 21, 2023, NASCAR's All-Star Race will return to North Wilkesboro Speedway for the first time in more than a quarter century.

Since its inception in 1947, North Wilkesboro Speedway has hosted 93 NASCAR Cup races, and has attracted household names, from Richard Petty to Dale Earnhardt, Sr.

Mr. Speaker, NASCAR's grassroots return to this historic track--its former stomping grounds--is a testament to the rich history of motorsports in western North Carolina.

Generations of North Carolinians and motorsports enthusiasts from around the country will gather and watch history be made in North Carolina's Fifth District.

Though this event is months away, the anticipation and energy within the community are very palpable. We look forward to this event.
