President Donald J. Trump announced an executive order designating the Freedom 250 Grand Prix, the first motor race in Washington, D.C., to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. The race will take place near the National Mall, showcasing iconic national monuments. Section 2 mandates the Secretary of the Interior and Secretary of Transportation to designate a suitable race route within 14 days. Section 3 outlines steps to secure permits, approvals, and funding, including potential classification as a ‘special event’ and FAA coordination for aerial photography. The Secretaries must ensure roads and infrastructure are properly maintained. The order emphasizes compliance with laws, budget constraints, and prohibits creating enforceable rights. Costs for publication are assigned to the Department of the Interior. The event aims to highlight American motorsport heritage and national pride.
