Summary
185-mph IndyCar racing is set to hit Washington streets in the Freedom 250 Grand Prix, a Trump-hosted event expected to draw about 140,000 spectators.
The race caps a series of presidential events launched to mark the country’s birthday, making the street circuit the centerpiece of the broader celebration.
D.C. becomes the venue for a rare high-speed urban race, with drivers preparing to run through the capital rather than on a traditional permanent track.
