Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones joined forces with Fox Sports this week for a special purpose — to show off the new Arlington Grand Prix course on which NTT IndyCar Series drivers will compete next season.

This segment, which Fox Sports filmed for its NFL pregame show, featured Jones spending time with veteran pit reporter Jamie Little and IndyCar driver Pato O'Ward. The trio hopped in Jones's helicopter and flew over the streets of the Arlington Entertainment District, which will transform into a street course on March 13-15.

"It's very well setup for it to be a huge experience," O'Ward told the Super Bowl-winning team owner. Jones responded by saying, "That's why I appreciate IndyCar so much."
The pregame video did not show the entire course due to time limitations, but it provided one key detail. This video showed the area that will become pit road.
The drivers will stop for tires and fuel in a massive parking lot across the road from AT&T Stadium. This is the lot where multitudes of fans park when they attend the Cowboys home games. The drivers will enter the lot on the left side of AT&T Stadium before exiting on the right side and turning back onto the city streets.
IndyCar has regularly raced in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, albeit in a different area. The top teams and drivers have competed at Texas Motor Speedway, a traditional oval track located nearly 30 miles to the north of AT&T Stadium, 36 times. The most recent race at this oval track took place in 2023.
While Texas Motor Speedway has delivered excitement for motorsports fans, moving the series to the heart of Arlington provides a major opportunity for growth.
New attendees will have a chance to hit up a popular tourist area and watch high speed battles as drivers race past AT&T Stadium (home to the Dallas Cowboys), Globe Life Field (home to the Texas Rangers), and Choctaw Stadium (former home of the Rangers).
"Everybody that is going to be here that isn't a fan now, is going to be a fan," O'Ward proclaimed as the group flew over the course.
