           RECOGNIZING 2026 MONSTER ENERGY SUPERCROSS SERIES

  (Mr. LUTTRELL asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LUTTRELL. Mr. Speaker, let's make today a great day.
  I rise in recognition of excellence, discipline, and American 
competitiveness.
  The 2026 Monster Energy Supercross Series is absolutely underway, and 
in America we like it. If it goes fast, has got a big motor, and there 
is a high probability of somebody getting hurt, even better.
  If you have never seen Monster Energy Supercross, I am about to 
change your life, and you are welcome. You have got 22 riders in a 
confined space going from a starting gate to go-to-the-bathroom-on-
your-pants, fast hitting 20-foot jumps with no seatbelts, airbags, or 
bumpers; just man on machine.
  Last weekend on Saturday, Anaheim I, the first race of the series 
went off. In the 250 class, Max Anstie got first; Chance Hymas got 
second; Ryder DiFrancesco got third; and last year's champion, Haiden 
``Danger Boy'' Deegan, got fourth place.
  In the premier class, Eli Tomac absolutely showed up on his new ride. 
Ken Roczen got second; Jorge Prado third; and seventh place, last 
year's champion, was Cooper Webb.
  Our thoughts and prayers go out to Justin Barcia and Malcolm Stewart 
after that horrific crash they were involved in. I hope they are 
healing up well and every household has their favorite rider. My oldest 
boy loves Cooper Webb. My baby boy, Lincoln, loves Eli Tomac and Ken 
Roczen. My wife and I absolutely are the biggest fan of number 7, Aaron 
Plessinger, the cowboy. Go forward and do great things, Aaron. Dig in 
your spurs. This is your year.
