\n

The NTT IndyCar Series is gearing up to hit the streets of Washington, DC<\/a> for the first time on Aug. 23, and now, we know when the green flag will wave.<\/p>\n

There is absolutely no question about it: the Freedom 250<\/a> Grand Prix of Washington, DC is going to be a full-on spectacle as cars race past some of the most iconic monuments our nation has to offer.<\/p>\n

As such, it’s getting the level of coverage it deserves.<\/p>\n

Practice sessions 1 and 2 will air Saturday, Aug. 22, on FS1 and FS2, respectively. Qualifying will take place that evening from 5 to 6:30 p.m. ET on FS2.<\/p>\n

Then, Sunday morning, the IndyCar broadcast booth regulars \u2014 lap-by-lap commentator Will Buxton, along with former drivers-turned-broadcasters Townsend Bell and James Hinchcliffe \u2014 will call the warm-up from 9 to 10 a.m. ET on FS1.<\/p>\n

After that, expanded pre-race coverage will get underway on FOX at 11:30 a.m. ET, with the race getting started shortly after 1 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n

On top of the IndyCar action, the International Race of Champions, or IROC, will make its return as a support series for the weekend. They’ll race on Saturday, with IndyCar greats Helio Castroneves, Dario Franchitti and Tony Kanaan taking part alongside NASCAR<\/a> legends Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch, Bobby Labonte, Rusty Wallace and Bill Elliott using the same Pontiac Firebirds the original IROC series used from 1996 to 2006.<\/p>\n

There’s a lot of excitement around this one-of-a-kind addition to the 2026 IndyCar calendar, and this week reigning series champ Alex Palou, Indy 500 champ Felix Rosenqvist and Team Penske’s David Malukas were all at the White House<\/a> to meet with President Donald Trump and to knock out some pit stop practice.<\/p>\n

IndyCar has another big weekend ahead, as the series heads to Nashville Superspeedway for the Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix on Sunday, which will air on FOX immediately after the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
