The MHC Historical Society is proud to announce its partnership with the Virginia 250 Car Project, with VA250 and Arrington Engines.

Celebrating the 250th anniversary of Virginia, the American Revolution and the nation, the Virginia 250 car will set a new world record - a NASCAR-spec Dodge Charger race car to go 250 miles per hour at NASA’s Cape Canaveral on Jan. 2, 2026.

The car and engine are designed and developed by Joey Arrington of Arrington Manufacturing, who built the engine which set the standing record of 244.9 mph as confirmed by Guinness World Records in Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah in 2007.

Join us in the race to celebrate the quarter-millennial anniversary of the United States!
