ARLINGTON, Texas (March 10, 2026) — The National Medal of Honor Museum (NMOHM) will feature on the livery of Chip Ganassi Racing’s No. 11 INDY NXT by Firestone entry, driven by rookie Carson Etter, at the Grand Prix of Arlington. Additionally, Etter and the team will participate in a powerful leadership discussion titled “Trust Under Pressure: Leadership in Small Teams” on Thursday, Mar. 12, 2026, at the National Medal of Honor Museum adjacent to the track in Arlington, Texas.

The livery is a partnership between Chip Ganassi Racing, the Museum and Etter. Located just across from the backstretch of the circuit for the Arlington race, the team is honored to highlight the efforts of the NMOHM to preserve and tell the stories of our nation’s heroes.
