The inaugural INDYCAR Grand Prix of Arlington is exactly one year away from today with the opening practice session taking place on Friday, March 13, 2026.
Speaking about the new race, Arrow McLaren’s Pato O’Ward says:
The INDYCAR Grand Prix of Arlington is definitely circled on the calendar. “Texans love racing, and they love big events. So, this is going to be mega. Hopefully, it will set the new standard for a street circuit race in North America.”
The 2.73-mile, 14-turn track layout will feature three iconic sporting venues recognized by fans around the world: AT&T Stadium, home of the National Football League’s Dallas Cowboys, Globe Life Field, home of Major League Baseball’s Texas Rangers and Choctaw Stadium, former home of the Texas Rangers.
The track will weave through Arlington’s core sports and entertainment district, which features an all-star lineup of events and venues and annually sells several million tickets to spectators near and far.
AJ Foyt Racing’s Santino Ferrucci who resides in Texas commented saying:
As someone who calls this area ‘home,’ I’m super excited to see the NTT INDYCAR SERIES coming to DFW. “The course layout is really unique and will let us reach top speeds, making the racing incredibly exciting for all the fans.
