Donald Trump to lead lap of honor at Freedom 250 Grand Prix

Donald Trump is scheduled to lead a lap of honor at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington, D.C., on Sunday. The race is a celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, approved by Trump through an executive order earlier this year. The event features a 1.7-mile street circuit passing by notable landmarks including the National Mall and the U.S. Capitol. Organizers have extended the race distance to a full 250 miles, with practice and qualifying taking place on Saturday before the main event. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy mentioned the excitement for the race, citing the historic nature of the event since the last racing event in Washington was held in 1801.
