The NTT IndyCar Series made a special appearance at the White House on Monday as part of the United States’ annual Easter festivities. The Easter Egg Roll, a long-standing tradition since 1878, offered a range of entertaining and educational activities for children of all ages who were invited to attend. One of the highlights of the event was the presence of an IndyCar show car on the White House lawn, giving the 40,000 young attendees an up-close look at the high-speed machinery that can reach speeds of over 220 MPH. David Malukas, a driver for Arrow McLaren, represented the series at the event, engaging with the participants and sharing fascinating insights about his profession. The 22-year-old also took photos alongside the show car, which featured a special livery promoting the upcoming 108th running of the Indianapolis 500 on May 26. Malukas expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to visit the White House and be part of this cherished tradition. He found great joy in interacting with the children and witnessing their excitement as they encountered their first race car and learned more about the world of IndyCar racing. In addition to the show car, several displays were set up to demonstrate the physical fitness required to compete in the series. Attendees had the chance to test their reaction times with a light board, gauge their strength with a simulated IndyCar steering wheel, and enhance their coordination with special strobe light glasses. The children were also provided with a coloring sheet that emphasized the various safety features of the cars. These exhibits aligned perfectly with the “EGGucation” theme of the 2024 event and exemplified IndyCar’s ongoing commitment to community engagement.
