Summary
President Donald Trump is expected to take a pre-race lap of honor in his motorcade before IndyCar’s Freedom 250 Grand Prix on Aug. 23 in Washington.
The 250-mile race is part of the U.S. 250th-anniversary celebration and will run on a 1.7-mile street course using Pennsylvania Avenue and passing the Capitol.
Trump ordered federal agencies in January to work with Washington’s mayor to design and build the circuit, helping put the event onto the IndyCar schedule as a late addition.
Practice and qualifying are set for Saturday, with Sunday’s race starting at 1 p.m. ET after pre-race coverage begins at 11:30 a.m. ET on FOX.
