Trump to take honorary lap as DC hosts IndyCar Freedom 250

President Trump will take an honorary lap around the 1.66-mile IndyCar Freedom 250 Grand Prix route in Washington, D.C., ahead of the race, with First Lady Melania in the stands. The lap passes the White House, National Archives, National Mall and Smithsonian museums before finishing, with a green flag expected around 1 p.m. ET and military flyovers starting at 11:30 a.m.; the event, tied to America’s 250th birthday, has drawn Democratic concerns over advertisements on the cars.
