IndyCar Race to Roar Through D.C. | Austin News
Description
President Trump is hosting top IndyCar drivers at the White House as the nation gears up for the historic Freedom 250 Grand Prix — a high-speed street race set for August 23rd right through Washington D.C.’s National Mall. Sparked by an executive order in January, the event celebrates America’s 250th birthday with speeds up to 190 mph on Pennsylvania Avenue, marking the first major auto race in the capital since 1801 — when horses competed. IndyCar’s Roger Penske calls it a “spectacle honoring the country,” and the race will air live on Fox Sports, turning the nation’s capital into a motorsport epicenter.
