Something new is coming to the streets of Washington, D.C. this weekend.
An IndyCar race.
Back in January, the series announced a special, one-off race on the streets of the nation's capital, the Freedom 250. Framed as part of the celebrations around the nation's 250th anniversary, IndyCar will take to the streets around the National Mall, in a one-off event right in the heart of the city, and right in the heart of the schedule.
But how does a team prepare for an event like this, one that gets added to the schedule and presents a host of new challenges for the teams and the drivers?
To answer that question I sat down with three members of Arrow McLaren: Kyle Moyer, Scott Harner, and driver Pato O'Ward. Moyer is the team's Director of Competition, while Harner is Arrow McLaren's Director of Race Operations.
