1:05Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump announced that an IndyCar race will be held in the streets of Washington, D.C., later this year as part of the nation's 250th birthday celebration.
Trump signed an executive order in the Oval Office establishing the event, alongside Roger Penske, owner of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and IndyCar. The White House has dubbed it the Freedom 250 Grand Prix. It's set to be held on Aug. 23. Officials say the route will include the National Mall, though no further details have been announced.
