The INDYCAR Grand Prix of Arlington announced on Friday that Toyota has been named as their first foundational partner.
Through this partnership, Toyota will bring its single-make Toyota GAZOO Racing North America GR Cup Series to the Grand Prix of Arlington, featuring two thrilling races over the weekend. The GR Cup series features identically prepared Toyota GR86 race cars and is known for its close competition, rising talent and fast-paced action. The series has quickly become a standout on the single-make series scene and will serve as a strong complement to the headlining NTT IndyCar Series event.

“We’re thrilled to have Toyota and the Toyota GR Cup series as a part of this historic motorsports event taking place in our home market. “Bringing the GR Cup to this event lets us showcase the incredible competition and skill of this series to a new audience. We’re excited for fans to experience this thrilling racing action right here in Toyota’s North American backyard.”
Bill Miller, President of the INDYCAR Arlington Grand Prix said:
Excitement is building as we prepare to bring world-class racing to Arlington’s streets for the very first time. “Having Toyota on board as a Foundational Partner, and the GR Cup Series as part of our weekend lineup, adds an incredible layer of energy and prestige to our inaugural event.”
