Peppermint Parkway brought holiday magic back to Circuit of The Americas, welcoming guests for a festive walk through experience filled with lights, seasonal displays, and family-friendly fun. The event gave visitors a memorable way to celebrate the New Year at COTA.

NASCAR roared into COTA for a historic weekend of racing, with Tyler Reddick stealing the show by becoming the first driver in NASCAR Cup Series history to win the first three races of a season. Fresh off back-to-back victories at the Daytona 500 and Atlanta, Reddick held off a stacked field of competitors and former COTA winners to claim the DuraMax Texas Grand Prix. Fans packed the circuit for a full weekend of high-energy competition across multiple series, witnessing a piece of motorsport history right here in Austin.

COTA welcomed cyclists back to the track as Bike Night returned for another season. The event brought cyclists together for an evening on the track, giving riders of all experience levels the chance to enjoy COTA from a new perspective.

The COTA team headed to Austin Bergstrom International Airport to support the nearly 500 dedicated TSA agents who had been working for over a month without pay. The team hand-delivered gift boxes filled with essential everyday items and gas cards, showing up in person to recognize the agents who keep Austin’s airport running day in and day out. The visit came just one day before the start of MotoGP weekend, as those same agents were preparing for one of the busiest and most demanding weeks of the year.

MotoGP’s 12th visit to Circuit of The Americas gave fans everything they came for. Marco Bezzecchi rode a near-flawless weekend to claim victory at the 2026 Americas GP, outpacing a field of world-class competitors in front of a passionate Austin crowd. The result capped off three days of racing that once again showed why COTA and MotoGP are one of motorsport’s great pairings.
