President Donald Trump has highlighted the upcoming Freedom 250 Grand Prix with a video on social media. The race is scheduled for next month on the streets of Washington, D.C.
The minute-long video was shared on Truth Social on Wednesday. It features IndyCar drivers racing on a track set against the backdrop of the National Mall. Iconic landmarks like the U.S. Capitol and the Washington Monument appear prominently.
“FREEDOM 250 GRAND PRIX,” Trump wrote, including a race car emoji along with American and checkered flags.
On Monday, the president welcomed IndyCar drivers to the White House. This event was part of a promotional effort for the race, which is a feature of America’s 250th anniversary celebrations.
Trump told reporters, “It’ll be one of the most unforgettable racing events the world has ever seen.”
