IndyCar made a pit stop at the White House this week.

Detroit auto giants Roger Penske and General Motors President Mark Reuss joined Indy 500 winner Felix Rosenqvist, Indy 500 runner-up David Malukas, and reigning IndyCar champion Alex Palou at the White House to give the nation’s capital a preview of the Freedom 250 Grand Prix coming next month to DC’s streets.

The motorsports event follows June’s UFC Freedom 250 slugfest that showcased the world’s best ultimate fighters on the White House south lawn. Team Penske driver Malukas and his pit crew showed off their quick hands, too, with a tire-burning, 6.5-second pit stop in front of the West Wing.

President Donald Trump, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Penske President Bud Denker, and Fox Sports CEO (and IndyCar broadcast partner) Eric Shanks looked on while White House staff cheered from the steps of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
