Ivanka Trump turned heads on 4 December when she stepped out in a stunning blue and black jumpsuit during a visit to Indiana.
The first daughter joined Governor Holcomb during a tour of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in a series of snaps she shared on Instagram, captioning her post:
“At the Brickyard! Fun Fact: the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is the WORLD’s largest spectator sporting facility and oldest speedway. Thank you Governor Holcomb for the ‘warm’ welcome to this Indiana favourite!”
Just ahead of the trip, Ivanka tweeted that the visit would mark a celebration of the 4th meeting of the American Workforce Policy Advisory Board. She wrote:

Fun fact: ivanka is barred from sitting on a board of a charity (along with her brothers).
Fun fact: ivanka backs a parental leave plan that comes out of SS upon retiring
Like blondie or any member of the trump family would ever be seen at a NASCAR track other than for a photo op.

Other netizens were less negatively inclined. Many wondered if Ivanka got to do any driving.
Did you get to drive ??

Others marvelled at the speed of the car in the video.
I'm still not sure if the video is sped up or what if this is how fast you were going around the track!

I hope she had a great time and I hope she was greeted with Hoosier Hospitality the right way but going to the brickyard I know she was and I'm glad she came wish I could have met her.
