(2026) Medal Copper-nickel, Freedom 250 Race, Roger Penske, Matte MS

In celebration of the United States Semiquincentennial, the Freedom 250 Grand Prix, the first-ever NTT INDYCAR Series race in Washington, DC, will take place on August 22 – 23, 2026. The race will take place on a 1.7 mile-long track around the National Mall. Drivers will race 147 laps to complete 250 miles set against the backdrop of some of America’s most historic landmarks, including the Washington Monument and the U.S. Capitol.

The United States Mint captured this singular convergence of American history and American speed in a single, strikable object–an official medal that turns this historic two-day spectacle into a lifetime keepsake.
