SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 112

WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to recognize the Texas Motor Speedway for its exceptional contributions to the efforts in distributing the COVID-19 vaccine in Texas; and

WHEREAS, The Texas Motor Speedway is the premier motorsports venue in Texas and is one of the largest sports and entertainment facilities in the country; recently, as the COVID-19 vaccine has become available to the public, the speedway has provided the use of its facility as a vaccination site to allow for the effective large-scale distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine; and

WHEREAS, With hundreds of volunteers and staff members at work, more than 9,000 doses of the vaccine were administered during the first day of distribution at the site; the speedway's 16-lane track and 131 acres of land have provided the necessary space to accommodate the drive-through tents where the vaccine is administered and to allow for efficiently managing the long lines of vehicles carrying people to their vaccination appointments; and

WHEREAS, One of the largest vaccine hubs in the nation, the Texas Motor Speedway has been invaluable in facilitating the distribution of this life-saving vaccine to the people of Texas; it is truly fitting that this exemplary effort receive special recognition; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th Legislature, hereby commend all those who have contributed to the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine at the Texas Motor Speedway and extend to them sincere gratitude for their outstanding work; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for the Texas Motor Speedway as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
