Track Layout
Arlington street circuit was designed by Tony Cottman, who has designed several layouts for previous Champ Car and IndyCar street circuits. The circuit is 2.73 miles long (4.39 km) with fourteen turns and its length makes it not only the longest street circuit in the IndyCar calendar but also longer than any permanent road course except fot Road America, which is 4.048 miles (6.515 km).
The circuit is described as “fast and flowing” and winds around three major sporting venues: the AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field and Choctaw Stadium, homes of the Dallas Cowboys, the Texas Rangers and the United Football League's Arlington Renegades, respectively. It also features a dual pit lane inspired by Detroit.
