President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to have an IndyCar race on the streets of Washington, D.C., in honor of the nation’s 250th birthday this year.

It will be the first time ever for such an event to be in Washington, and it will happen on a circuit running from Capitol Hill to the Lincoln Memorial and back around the National Mall on a layout that still is being developed.
