                        HONORING CALE YARBOROUGH

  (Mr. FRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Timmonsville, South 
Carolina, native and American legend Cale Yarborough.
  The NASCAR Hall of Famer started racing in Darlington at the soapbox 
derby. From there, he went on to win 83 cup races and became the 
sport's first driver to win three consecutive championships.
  Cale's legacy is reflected not only in his record-breaking career but 
also his role in popularizing NASCAR. When Cale Yarborough was racing, 
America was watching.
  Following his decorated career, Cale bought and operated a racing 
team of his own. He also served the Pee Dee community in South Carolina 
on the Florence County Council.
  We mourn the loss of a true legend, but we remember and celebrate a 
life that was well lived.
