ARLINGTON, TX (July 22, 2025) - The Grand Prix of Arlington today announced that WinStar World Casino & Resort, the largest casino in the world located in Thackerville, Oklahoma, will serve as an Official Partner for the inaugural race weekend taking place March 13-15, 2026.
This partnership steers even more excitement to the track as Arlington welcomes its first-ever, highly anticipated Grand Prix.
As part of the partnership, the U.S.-based tribal casino will join the Grand Prix of Arlington in offering a premium hospitality and fan experience area; the WinStar Winners Club. Located at one of the most dynamic points on the track, this exclusive Club will provide VIP amenities, all-inclusive food and beverage, immersive brand experiences, and it will extend over the Turn One; a first for the INDYCAR Series. Guests will be fully immersed in the victory celebration, with the Victory Podium seamlessly integrated into the club to bring winners and guests together. Additionally, the WinStar Winners Club will serve as a high-touch, premium access area for top-tier guests and special invitees, offering post-race celebrations and exclusive photo opportunities. The partnership also includes cross-promotional marketing and on-site integration, so guests can further experience the magic of high-speed motorsport and world-class casino hospitality.
