IndyCar Race on National Mall: Who Foots the Bill and Why It Matters
The Freedom 250 Grand Prix is set to rev up on the National Mall this weekend, but with its arrival comes a series of pressing questions about funding and accountability. Why is this high-profile car race taking place in a space dedicated to public memorials? Who is actually paying for this spectacle?
