Balance Racing Through History: INDYCAR Storms the Streets of Washington, D.C.!

Start your engines, America—INDYCAR is making history in the nation’s capital! Derek Vance of the Push to Pass Podcast, our official INDYCAR contributor, joins Tom Marquis on The Balance to preview the inaugural Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington, D.C.—a once-in-a-lifetime event celebrating America’s 250th anniversary. For the first time ever, INDYCAR machines will race through the heart of Washington on a challenging 1.7-mile street circuit framed by the U.S. Capitol, Washington Monument and Smithsonian. The seven-turn, counterclockwise layout features six left turns, only one right turn and absolutely no previous race data for the teams. We’ll examine the pole sitter, starting lineup, championship battle, team preparations and the unique challenges of a 147-lap, 250-mile street race. Can Alex Palou continue his march toward another championship? Can Kyle Kirkwood, Will Power, Josef Newgarden or Pato O’Ward claim an unforgettable victory? History, horsepower and American pride collide on the streets of Washington, D.C.!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-balance--6491129/support.
