Kyle Kirkwood gana el inaugural IndyCar Freedom 250 en Washington

NPR informó que el piloto de Florida Kyle Kirkwood dominó el inaugural Grand Prix Freedom 250 de IndyCar en la National Mall de Washington el 16 de agosto, liderando la mayor parte de las vueltas y logrando la victoria entre amplias exhibiciones patrióticas. Con anterioridad, la Casa Blanca anunció que el presidente Donald Trump y la primera dama Melania Trump encabezarían un coche presidencial que dio una vuelta alrededor del circuito el 23 de agosto como parte de la ceremonia previa, y asistieron a la carrera al día siguiente.

Defensores de la preservación histórica advirtieron que el evento de 250 millas en la vía pública podría dañar monumentos cercanos, lo que llevó a funcionarios a realizar estudios de vibraciones y adoptar precauciones para proteger museos como el Smithsonian de Aire y Espacio y el Museo Nacional del Indio Americano. Según NPR, la carrera, financiada mayormente por Team Penske y transmitida en vivo por Fox, atrajo a cerca de 140 000 espectadores.
