Everything To Know For Inaugural INDYCAR Race Around Cowboys' Stadium

IndyCar’s inaugural Grand Prix of Arlington takes place around AT&T and Globe Life stadiums on a 2.73-mile, 14-turn street circuit — the longest street course on the calendar.

Plenty of Texas flavor — hometown ties for Pato O’Ward and Santino Ferrucci, Cowboys/Rangers legends Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez and DeMarcus Ware will start the engines, and the Cowboys’ branding gives the event big local buzz.
