IndyCar driver Sting Ray Robb is preparing to compete in the Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington, D.C., an event he has described as more than a standard IndyCar race. The race brings top-tier open-wheel racing to the streets surrounding some of America's most iconic landmarks, marking a significant and rare moment for the sport as it stages a major event in the nation's capital.

Around two dozen IndyCar drivers, including Robb, will take part in the race on a 1.7-mile street circuit on Sunday, completing 147 laps past the U.S. Capitol and around the National Mall. The event was previewed on Fox News's "The Ingraham Angle" alongside Penske Corporation president Bud Denker and NASCAR Hall of Famer Kurt Busch, with organisers billing it as one of racing's standout spectacles this year.
