Text in the Record
Mr. LANGWORTHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Watkins Glen International, one of America's most iconic motorsports venues, for its enduring contributions to our Nation's sporting heritage as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States of America. For generations, Watkins Glen International has welcomed visitors from across the country and around the world, serving as both an economic engine for the region it serves and a source of pride for New Yorkers. Since the earliest days of road racing in Watkins Glen, The Glen has become synonymous with excellence, competition, and innovation, earning its place among the most celebrated racing facilities in North America. As our Nation commemorates America 250, Watkins Glen International continues to bring people together through a shared appreciation for competition, tradition, and community. Beyond the excitement on the track, The Glen serves as a gathering place where families create lasting memories, local businesses thrive, and visitors experience the very best of what our region has to offer. Mr. Speaker, I ask that the United States House of Representatives join me in recognizing Watkins Glen International for its longstanding contributions to New York and our Nation, and for helping unite communities during the celebration of America's 250th anniversary. Its legacy of excellence, hospitality, and community engagement stands as a testament to the enduring American spirit.
