Arlington Hosts First Ever Grand Prix Race

In March 2026, Arlington, Texas, made history by hosting the inaugural Java House Grand Prix of Arlington.

This NTT IndyCar Series event turned the city's famous sports and entertainment district into a thrilling temporary street circuit.

The 2.73-mile track was uniquely designed by Tony Cottman to weave directly around iconic venues, including AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field.

This landmark event was a collaboration between Penske Entertainment, the Dallas Cowboys, and REV Entertainment.

Beyond the intense racing, which included a new 'single-car shootout' qualifying format won by Marcus Ericsson, fans enjoyed the Good Ranchers Concert Series featuring artists like T-Pain.

While Arlington once hosted Indy car races at Arlington Downs in the late 1940s, the 2026 Grand Prix established a new era for the city as a premier racing destination.

Organizers now aim to turn this exciting weekend into a long-running annual tradition, proving that Arlington is more than just a home for football and baseball.
