Why is the car race in this part of D.C.? The Freedom 250 Grand Prix is poised to bring dozens of race cars and tens of thousands of spectators to the heart of Washington, D.C.'s National Mall this weekend. The two-day motorsports event, which culminates in Sunday's marquee 250-mile race, is the first IndyCar race to take place in the nation's capital. Organizers are promising a patriotic spectacle, with cars zipping through 147 laps of a 1.7-mile route in the shadow of the Capitol building, as well as flyovers. And other fanfare. At a preview event in July, President Trump said drivers may reach speeds of 190 miles per hour down Pennsylvania Avenue. IndyCar is the highest class of open-wheel, single-seater formula car racing in North America, famous for its high speeds (up to 230 miles per hour).
