- FAA will temporarily halt flights at Reagan National on Aug. 23 (about 10:15 a.m.–1:15 p.m.) so the Freedom 250 IndyCar race can run through DC streets for the U.S. 250th celebration.
- General admission to the race is free, while an exclusive two‑day "Champions Club" package is priced at $5,000 per person.
- The FAA has closed the airport before for big events (like July 4) — past closures have led to canceled flights, so expect possible travel disruptions.
