IROC legends to take on the streets of Washington, D.C.

It is honestly difficult to process: the IROC brand is coming back, and it is bringing a staggering lineup of heroes to the Freedom 250 Grand Prix. On Saturday, August 22, we are going to see INDYCAR titans Helio Castroneves, Dario Franchitti, and Tony Kanaan line up alongside NASCAR royalty like Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch, Bobby Labonte, Rusty Wallace, and Bill Elliott. These legends will be behind the wheel of the authentic, fire-breathing IROC Pontiac Firebirds that defined the series between 1996 and 2006.

This is pure, concentrated motorsport history. The event, presented by Chevrolet, turns the 1.7-mile street circuit around the National Mall into a stage for a true test of driver skill. Ray Evernham and Rob Kauffman have revived the concept of equal machines to settle the score between icons from different disciplines. It is the perfect centerpiece for the first-ever NTT INDYCAR SERIES race on these streets, a celebration that will see these champions not only competing but also meeting fans at a free autograph session. Watching these icons navigate a circuit featuring a 0.4-mile run down Pennsylvania Avenue is going to be a sight to behold.
