The drivers stopped traffic near College Park at about 7 p.m., Maryland State Police told WTOP.
Video shows the sports car driver spinning again and again as several people on foot watch and even come close to the car. Other drivers spun their back wheels, sending smoke over the highway.
Officers responded and asked the group to leave as traffic backed up for about eight minutes, WTOP reported. No one was arrested, police said.
