Ed Carpenter Racing to Build Headquarters at Grand Park Sports Campus

IndyCar Series team Ed Carpenter Racing has announced plans to relocate its operations to Westfield, Indiana, and build a new racing headquarters as part of the Grand Park District Master Plan at the Grand Park Sports Campus.

The new headquarters and performance campus will be located south of the Grand Park Event Center on the west side of Grand Park Boulevard. The 76,000-square-foot facility will serve as the central hub for ECR’s racing operations and house engineering and technical development spaces with a retail and fan engagement component.

ECR competes full-time with drivers Alexander Rossi and Christian Rasmussen. Carpenter gets behind the wheel each May to round out the team’s lineup in the Indianapolis 500. Groundbreaking is expected early 2026 with completion in 2027.

“The opportunity to build a world-class facility within Grand Park was something we could not pass up,” Carpenter stated. “The demographic of Grand Park and its annual visitors is not only a great opportunity for our team to reach new fans, but also a great opportunity for IndyCar itself as we continue to capitalize on the current momentum of our sport. We are very focused on building a unique and best-in-class facility that will support our team and also showcase our brand to visitors each and every day.”

Founded in November 2011, Ed Carpenter Racing is in its 14th season of IndyCar Series competition. The team’s ownership group is comprised of four Indiana businessmen: Ed Carpenter, Ted Gelov, Tony George and Stuart Reed.

“Establishing ECR’s permanent home at Grand Park is a defining moment for our organization,” said Gelov. “This new headquarters will not only serve as the foundation for our racing operations and technical development, but also as a place where fans can truly connect with our team, our partners and the sport of IndyCar. As a long-time Hamilton County resident and business owner, I’m proud to invest in this community and help bring a new level of energy, innovation and opportunity to Westfield.”

The facility will feature a public viewing area into the team’s operations as well.

“ECR’s decision to relocate and expand at Grand Park is a major milestone for our city and a testament to the strength of our vision for Grand Park’s future,” said Westfield Mayor Scott Willis. “Attracting a professional sports team like ECR further solidifies Grand Park as a premier destination for sports and innovation. We are excited to welcome ECR to our community.”
