A Street Rave: IndyCar Reveals Plans for Arlington Grand Prix

Get ready for some electrifying racing action in Texas! IndyCar, in partnership with the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers, is set to bring a new street race to the streets of Arlington, Texas, starting in March 2026. The Grand Prix of Arlington will take place on a 2.73-mile track that weaves through the city’s vibrant sports and entertainment district.

Unveiling the Details

IndyCar’s announcement has sparked a lot of excitement, but there’s more to come. The organization is planning a “celebration ceremony” tomorrow at a venue near AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field, where they’ll reveal more information about the event. According to the press release, the ceremony will unveil additional details, including a video showcasing the full track layout.

When Will the Grand Prix Happen?

So, will the Grand Prix of Arlington kick off the IndyCar season, replacing the traditional season-opener in St. Petersburg, Florida? Or might it happen after the St. Petersburg race? Only time will tell, but the Arlington race could be a game-changer, ending the lengthy gap between IndyCar’s first and second races of the season.

Revamping the Season Schedule

A proper start to the season with two full-on, points-paying races in March could breathe new life into the IndyCar series. It could also bring back the exciting street action that Downtown Nashville’s IndyCar races have become known for. Could we be seeing the birth of an IndyCar equivalent to the Miami Formula 1 GP?

Stay Tuned

For now, we’ll have to wait until tomorrow to get answers to these questions and more. One thing’s for sure, though: the Grand Prix of Arlington is shaping up to be an unforgettable racing experience!
