President Trump signed executive order Friday to hold an IndyCar race on the streets of Washington, DC, this summer as part of America’s 250th birthday celebration.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy previewed races cars that will be zooming “190 mph” down famed Pennsylvania Avenue during the Aug. 23 race, dubbed the America250 Grand Prix.
Trump said during a White House signing ceremony with Roger Penske, owner of IndyCar, and Fox Sports reps that the event could set a record for racing.
The Interior and Transportation departments will be officially charged with designing a race route along the National Mall “that showcases the majesty of Washington, D.C., and its iconic national monuments,” according to a fact sheet obtained by NBC News.
