D.C. Prepares for Historic IndyCar Race | Washington DC News

Washington D.C. is preparing for its historic first IndyCar race, set for August 22-23 around the National Mall, drawing up to 140,000 fans daily. With speeds nearing 185 mph, crews are welding manhole covers and transforming streets into a high-octane track — and parking? Forget it. The Metro is your only ride. Security will be tight, with airport-style screenings and a zero-tolerance policy on drones. Rain or shine, the race proceeds — but lightning? Ten safe havens, including Smithsonian museums, are ready.
