Introduced and handed to a committee in the chamber it started in.

The committee holds it, and most bills are never heard from again. A hearing or a committee vote would be news; silence is the usual outcome, and it kills the bill without anyone voting against it.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced
  2. In Committee

A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution recognizes and congratulates the Martinsville Missile for setting a land speed record for a stock car. On March 23, 2026, the vehicle reached a top speed of 253 miles per hour at the Shuttle Landing Facility in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The car is a 1969 Dodge Daytona Charger designed by Joey Arrington and driven by Tommy Hurley. This achievement is part of the VA250 Car Project, which is an undertaking of the Virginia American Revolution 250th Commission. The project is part of a national motorsports celebration honoring the United States' 250th year.
