ARLINGTON – Single-day ticket options for INDYCAR’s second annual Java House Grand Prix of Arlington in March 2027 are now on sale at gparlington.com.
The NTT IndyCar Series is booked to return to the streets of the Arlington Entertainment District from March 19-21, 2027, following a record-setting inaugural weekend in the Dallas-Fort Worth market. Friday, Saturday and Sunday ticket packages, paddock passes and parking currently are available.
“The inaugural Java House Grand Prix of Arlington showcased the power of partnership and the passion of North Texas sports fans,” said Troy Yarborough, event president. “By bringing together INDYCAR, the Dallas Cowboys, the Texas Rangers and the City of Arlington, we have created a one-of-a-kind event that resonates well beyond race weekend. We’re excited to build on the momentum from the inaugural race and welcome fans back for an even bigger experience in 2027.”
The race again will be contested on a 2.73-mile/14-turn temporary street circuit designed by Tony Cotman that winds through the popular Entertainment District. The unique backdrop includes AT&T Stadium, home to the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys, and Globe Life Field, home to MLB’s Texas Rangers.
Kyle Kirkwood of Andretti Global pulled off a dramatic late-race pass against Alex Palou to win last year’s 70-lap/191.1-miler on March 15. Palou, a native of Spain, went on to claim his fifth series championship. The inaugural race also produced the season’s fastest trap speed on a street circuit at 192.298 mph by Kirkwood in his No. 27 JM Bullion/Gold.com Honda.
Renewal of the race contract was highly anticipated after INDYCAR President J. Douglas Boles confirmed last spring the event partners, including Penske Entertainment and FOX Sports, were working under “a multi-year deal, typically from three-to-five years.”
Event organizers predicted a three-day attendance total of between 75,000 and 80,000 fans based upon ticket sales spanning all 50 states and 20 countries. However, an exact attendance figure was not announced.
“The Java House Grand Prix of Arlington made an impression on drivers from the moment we arrived,” said Christian Rasmussen, a native of Denmark and driver of the No. 21 Java House Chevrolet for Ed Carpenter Racing. “It’s a fun and demanding circuit, set against an incredible backdrop and the atmosphere throughout race weekend was unlike anything else on the schedule.
“The event raised the bar in a lot of ways, and I’m excited to introduce more people to it. Once you experience Arlington, you’ll understand why it’s become such a special stop for INDYCAR.”
Fans can get up-close to the action with the purchase of a paddock pass for exclusive garage access to the area where INDYCAR teams work on their Chevrolet and Honda-powered machines. The event also features a variety of premium viewing experiences, including reserved grandstand seating.
Additionally, the WinStar Winners Club delivers an unparalleled Race Day experience via tiered seating, high-top tables and bar rails with exceptional views of pit lane, the front straightaway and Turn 1. A portion of the club extends directly over the racetrack, offering guests the thrilling perspective of “The Fastest Racing on Earth” directly beneath them.
Adding to the exclusivity, the winner’s podium is integrated into the club, providing guests with an up-close view of the victory celebrations following every race throughout the weekend _ an experience unique to the INDYCAR schedule. All-inclusive amenities include food, beer, wine, spirits, soft drinks, water, paddock access and parking.
Single-day practice tickets start at $20 and Race Day tickets start at $100. Fans can purchase three-day tickets starting at $150. Children-under-12 will be admitted free in general admission areas when accompanied by an adult general admission ticketholder.
In addition to the NTT IndyCar Series, the Java House Grand Prix of Arlington weekend will showcase the GR Cup Series _ an entry-level, single-make sports car championship organized by Toyota GAZOO Racing. Also competing will be teams from the INDY NXT by Firestone Championship, the top rung of INDYCAR’s developmental ladder.
