Three major sporting entities have joined together to create a new street race on the 2026 NTT IndyCar Series schedule — the Grand Prix of Arlington in Dallas/Fort Worth.

Remember that World Series parade through the Arlington Entertainment District last November? Now imagine it with open-wheel race cars going 180 mph rather than slow-moving pickups laden with celebrating Rangers.

"It's going to be fast. I'm ready. "I'm pumped," said Alex Palou. "It's a shame that we're not starting like next week. I would be ready to race it."
