Summary
24-year-old Sting Ray Robb will race Sunday’s Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington, where his No. 77 Chevrolet is expected to draw outsized attention.
Robb enters still seeking his first IndyCar victory after 3½ years on the series; his best results remain two ninth-place finishes, though he was 11th last weekend in Ontario.
The Idaho driver, named after the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, said the D.C. race matters to him as part of the country’s 250th birthday celebration and because the Capitol frames the finish line.
That appearance follows a career shaped by speed from childhood karting and by a major Iowa crash two summers ago, an accident he says reinforced that his identity has to extend beyond racing.
