D.C. Prepares for Historic IndyCar Race | Charleston News
Description
D.C. is gearing up for its first-ever IndyCar race, the Freedom 250, transforming downtown streets into a high-speed 1.7-mile track around the National Mall and Pennsylvania Avenue. Crews are installing concrete barriers and safety fences overnight to minimize traffic disruption, while IndyCar and Penske Entertainment are footing the bill for major road upgrades. Over 250,000 people have signed up for the free, ticket-lottery-only event, with 100,000 expected daily — all while Roger Penske sees it as a showcase for speed, tech, and athleticism. Commuters, brace for late-night road work — extra time is key.
