ARLINGTON, TX (December 2, 2025) - The National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation, dedicated to safeguarding and celebrating the legacy of the Medal of Honor and its Recipients, will be recognized as the Official Charity Partner of the Java House Grand Prix of Arlington, the city’s inaugural NTT INDYCAR SERIES race weekend occurring March 13-15, 2026.
During the Season of Giving, this meaningful collaboration will not only bring world-class racing and an inspiring atmosphere to Arlington’s Entertainment District but also support the museum’s mission. From December 2 – 25, 2025, a portion of all race tickets sold will directly support the museum’s efforts to honor and preserve the stories of Medal of Honor recipients – ordinary Americans who demonstrated extraordinary courage and selflessness in service to others.
“The Java House INDYCAR Grand Prix of Arlington is proud to partner with the National Medal of Honor Museum,” said Bill Miller, President of the INDYCAR Grand Prix of Arlington. “We’re especially excited to give our guests the chance to be part of something bigger this holiday season – celebrating an unforgettable race weekend while supporting and preserving the stories and values that define our nation.”
This collaboration builds on INDYCAR’s support of military-focused causes, including The American Legion and Homes For Our Troops, while also deepening the Java House Grand Prix of Arlington’s connection to the Dallas Cowboys organization through Charlotte Jones’ role as Chairman of the Museum Foundation’s Board of Directors.
“For the Museum, this partnership is a powerful opportunity to involve the INDYCAR community in our work,” stated Chris Cassidy, a retired Navy SEAL and President and CEO of the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation. “As fans secure their tickets for an exhilarating new race weekend in Arlington, their participation ensures that all Americans can learn from the example set by Medal of Honor recipients and that their values will continue to guide future generations.”
The landmark race weekend is fueled by a first-of-its-kind partnership between INDYCAR, the Dallas Cowboys, and REV Entertainment, the official events partner of the Texas Rangers. Located in the entertainment district of Arlington the street course promises a full weekend of exciting events including racing, music and family fun during March 2026.
