Trump administration officials peeled back the curtain on what the Freedom 250 Grand Prix will look like when the green flag waves for the IndyCar race<\/a> on Aug. 23.<\/p>\n

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Ambassador Monica Crowley and Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser unveiled the Freedom 250 car, which had the logos of the American celebration on it.<\/p>\n

Officials noted that the event is free for fans to come and watch.<\/p>\n

Duffy said he and Roger Penske strategized to each call President Donald Trump<\/a> and pitch him on the idea of a road race in Washington. He said that it didn\u2019t take much persuasion to have an All-American race in the nation\u2019s capital to celebrate America 250.<\/p>\n

“This was a team effort,” Duffy said. “It\u2019s Penske, it\u2019s FOX, it\u2019s the mayor, it\u2019s interior, it\u2019s everybody else joining together not to make a profit, not to get your name out there but to say, let\u2019s celebrate America. Let\u2019s celebrate America\u2019s birthday.”<\/p>\n

Officials also showed what the course would look like.<\/p>\n

“A project of this magnitude has to have vision from the very top. We\u2019re here today because of President Trump\u2019s executive order<\/a>, which literally paved the way for this race to become a cornerstone of our national celebration,” FOX Sports CEO Eric Shanks said. “We want to thank the administration for recognizing that there is no better way to celebrate America 250 than by showcasing American speed and ingenuity than on the streets of our capital.<\/p>\n

“For everybody that\u2019s going to be here, no matter which way you look, this is going to be the most distinctly American sporting event that we\u2019ve ever had.”<\/p>\n

IndyCar drivers will go<\/a> around the National Mall with the U.S. Capitol as the backdrop for the event. The races will go down 3rd Street and turn down Pennsylvania Avenue to start.<\/p>\n

The drivers will zoom past the National Archives, the National Gallery of Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum before going back onto 3rd Street.<\/p>\n

The IndyCar race is one of the major sporting events that will take place in D.C. to mark America\u2019s birthday. The UFC announced the card for its White House event that<\/a> will take place on the White House lawn in June.<\/p>\n
