The third round of the 2026 IndyCar season takes the series back to a street course, but one these drivers have never seen before. The streets of Arlington will host the top American open-wheel division, and the race will feature an altered Fast 6 format with single-car qualifying.<\/p>\n
The track is 2.73 miles in length with 14 corners, making it the longest street course on the entire IndyCar schedule. There were also be a split pit lane, similar to the design for the Detroit Street Course.<\/p>\n
After Alex Palou won the season-opener at St. Pete, an early crash at Phoenix cost him the championship lead. That day, Josef Newgarden prevailed over the field, winning the race and vaulting himself to the top of the championship standings.<\/p>\n
