The IndyCar Arlington Grand Prix will race into North Texas this weekend, and some of our FOX 4 reporters got to preview the course and the makeshift medical center built for the race.
When is the race?
The IndyCar Arlington Grand Prix begins at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, March 15. The broadcast will be on FOX.
The race will feature 70 laps covering 19.1 miles around the AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field on the streets of Arlington.
A makeshift hospital on the track
A fully operational medical center will be located behind the grandstands during Sunday’s race. In addition, Arlington Fire and AMR units will be placed at each of the circuit’s 14 turns.
The GMR Infield Care Center is a self-contained emergency department built from shipping containers. It’s stocked with crash carts, medications, and mobile x-ray equipment.
Martha Headrick, a registered nurse for Global Medical Response, has specialized in professional motorsports for nearly 30 years. She says the makeshift hospital is where the most critical cases would land.
