President Trump and First Lady Melania attended the Freedom 250 Freedom Grand Prix at the National Mall on Sunday.

"For over 100 years, American INDYCAR racing has set the pace for motor sports. With speeds topping over 200 miles per hour, the cars and drivers inspire awe and respect in all who watch this quintessentially American sport," Trump said earlier this year in an executive order on celebrating 200 years of freedom.

"INDYCAR racing is a source of pride and entertainment for our Nation, which is why I am pleased to announce the Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington, DC," Trump said.

The President and Melania watched as a bald eagle named "Lincoln" soared over the crowd during the singing of God Bless America as part of the pre-race ceremony.
