Thousands are coming to the District on Sunday to watch racers take part in the Freedom 250 Grand Prix, as part of America’s 250th birthday celebrations.

It is the second big sporting event staged in the nation’s capital by President Donald Trump following the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House in June.
