2026 INDYCAR Odds: Alex Palou Favored for Inaugural Grand Prix of Arlington

INDYCAR will take the track on Sunday, March 15 for its inaugural Grand Prix of Arlington (12:30 p.m. ET, FOX). The 2.73-mile course will circle AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys. It will also race around Globe Life Stadium (home of the Texas Rangers). Last weekend, the series raced at Phoenix for the Desert Double, a Saturday event in which Josef Newgarden got into Winner's Circle. Will Newgarden make it two in a row, or will the reigning INDYCAR champ Alex Palou find his footing again this weekend at Arlington? Here are the odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of March 12.

Not only did Palou not finish in Phoenix, he dropped to fifth from first in the standings. He did, however, win the first race of the 2026 season at St. Petersburg and has led 59 laps so far this year. One to Watch: Bettors might want to keep their eyes on Josef Newgarden. He opened at second on the oddsboard for Phoenix before closing as the favorite and winning. Newgarden has won two of the last three INDYCAR races, getting into Winner's Circle in last year's season finale and then last week.
