President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order on January 30, 2026, launching the Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington, D.C., the first INDYCAR street race in the nation’s capital. The order directs the Department of the Interior and Transportation to designate a race route near the National Mall, issue permits, and coordinate with the FAA for aerial photography. It authorizes Transportation Department funds to support the event and mandates collaboration with Washington, D.C. officials to ensure roadways are prepared for the course. The race, held to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary, aims to showcase the country’s motorsport legacy and engineering innovation. Trump emphasized the event as part of his commitment to honoring American history and promoting national pride through large-scale celebrations.
