TheGrand Prix of Arlington (known as theJava House Grand Prix of Arlington for sponsorship reasons) is an auto race set to be held in 2026 at a street course inArlington, Texas, United States, as part of theIndyCar Series.
The firstIndy car events in theDallas–Fort Worth area were held atArlington Downs from 1947 through 1950, sanctioned by theAmerican Automobile Association (AAA)Contest Board.[1] From 1997 through 2023,Speedway Motorsports-ownedTexas Motor Speedway (TMS) in Fort Worthhosted events underIndyCar sanction.
The Grand Prix of Arlington was announced on October 7, 2024, confirming initial reports the month previous.[2] The circuit will featureAT&T Stadium andGlobe Life Field, home of theDallas Cowboys and theTexas Rangers, respectively, and the event has been billed as a partnership between IndyCar, the Cowboys and Rangers, and theCity of Arlington.[3]
The Arlingtonstreet circuit was designed by Tony Cottman, who has designed several Champ Car and IndyCar street circuits. The circuit is 2.73 mi (4.39 km) long and features fourteen corners. The length of the circuit makes it not only longer than any other IndyCar street circuit but also longer than any permanent road course that IndyCar visits other than the 4.048 mi (6.515 km)Road America circuit. Its 0.900 mi (1.448 km) main straightaway is the longest IndyCar will see on a street or road course. The number of corners on the track tiesSt. Petersburg for the most on an IndyCar street circuit. The circuit also features a split pit lane similar to the one found on the currentDetroit street circuit.[4]
