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. | ||
