WTOP rides shotgun at 140 mph on DC’s Freedom 250 Grand Prix course
Less than 24 hours before the first checkered flag waves at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix in D.C., drivers got a chance Friday to put the 1.7-mile street course through its paces.
WTOP got to ride shotgun in a 670-horsepower Chevrolet Corvette Z06, reaching about 140 mph on the streets surrounding the National Mall.
Behind the wheel was Ken Morris, General Motors' senior vice president of product programs, product safety and motor sports.
“Oh, inspiring!” Morris said after the run. “D.C. is such a phenomenal place. I'm starstruck by it every time I'm here and to be able to have a track in the middle of it is fantastic.”
