IndyCar taps Monumental Sports & Entertainment for Washington D.C. race

I suppose that if the President of the United States — and one not known for his operational excellence, at that — decrees that your racing series race on the streets of the capital immediately during a time of incredibly high political tension, and you’re at least trying not to actively worsen the situation, it would be a good idea to hire the promoter used by all the Washington-area sports teams. Of course, the trade-off is that now there are more people whose job it is to make sure the event actually happens.
