A fuel leak at Dulles International Airport is cleaned up Friday. Around 10:45 a.m., 50 gallons of fuel leaked onto the tarmac during a test of the airport’s underground fuel system. Airport fire teams quickly closed off six gates in the C and D concourses to clean up the spill. The gates have since reopened. Earlier, the Airport Authority advised fliers to check with their airline to see if their flight was delayed.

Day 1 of the Freedom 250 Grand Prix is in the record books, with racing legends, IndyCar drivers and thousands of fans taking over the streets of D.C. Yes, Jeff Gordon swept both IROC races Saturday, with Kurt Busch finishing second in both, as the inaugural race weekend brought motorsports to the heart of the nation’s capital. But the action was not limited to the track. The Air National Guard Fan Zone turned “America’s front yard” into something resembling Lollapalooza for motorsports fans, with a live DJ playing music, picnic tables and umbrellas, and massive screens showing the race, along with food, cornhole games and merchandise trucks.
