Kirkwood Wins Freedom 250 in D.C.

Kyle Kirkwood won the Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington D.C., leading 128 of 147 laps in the historic INDYCAR event celebrating America's 250th anniversary.

Kirkwood, driving for Andretti Global, dominated the race on a 1.7-mile circuit featuring Pennsylvania Avenue and landmarks like Constitution and Independence Avenues. President Trump waved the green flag and attended the entire event, with organizers reporting 215,000 fans over two days.

The American driver expressed satisfaction in winning in front of a home crowd, noting "it's not easy to win any INDYCAR race, and the fact I was able to do it today as an American is a massive deal." Andretti Global had a strong showing with Will Power finishing third and Marcus Ericsson fourth, only broken by Christian Lundgaard in second place. sos-zagle.org.pl
