Should President Trump attend the race, it will be the latest high-profile sporting event he's made an appearance at in the past few months.
Since October, the president has attended the World Series, a UFC fight at Madison Square Garden, and the college football national championship in New Orleans, among other events.
The president and first lady are scheduled to return to Washington, D.C. on Sunday.
