BOSS, BME Complete Infrastructure Work for Arlington Grand Prix

June 16, 2026 - Bennett On-Site Services (BOSS) and Bennett Motor Express (BME) completed infrastructure and logistics work for the inaugural Java House Grand Prix of Arlington in Texas, supporting race construction before and after the March event.

The project involved a multi-phase build around the 2.73-mile street circuit in downtown Arlington’s entertainment district. The course connected areas near AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field and required temporary structures, transportation coordination and specialized lifting operations.

According to the company, BOSS handled installation of several key race structures, including four pedestrian bridges spanning portions of the track, Pit Lane suites, the Horseshoe Club seating section and multiple grandstand areas positioned around the 14-turn circuit.

“The infrastructure behind a street race of this caliber requires partners who can operate at the highest level. BOSS Crane & Rigging and Bennett Motor Express met every challenge this project threw at them, and the race was better for it. We were glad to have them as part of the team,” said Jonathan Bailey, vice president of operations at Penske Entertainment Corp.

One of the project’s largest crane operations involved a tandem lift to install the Horseshoe Club seating section over Turn 7 of the street course. BOSS crews used a GMK7550 all-terrain crane on one side of the lift and a GMK6300L crane on the other to place the 202,000-pound structure onto pedestals.

The company said crews completed the lift despite challenging wind conditions, safely rigging and positioning the structure before demobilizing equipment without incident.

While crane operations supported construction during the day, BME crews worked overnight to transport materials needed for track setup while limiting disruption to surrounding traffic and events. The transportation work included moving concrete barriers and fencing materials used to separate spectators from the race course.

BME provided an on-site logistics and safety coordinator to help maintain schedules, coordinate operations and support safety throughout the project. Dispatch teams assigned as many as eight drivers per shift, using flatbed trailers for concrete barriers and step deck trailers to transport racks of 10-foot fencing panels.

According to the company, crews transported more than 2,800 concrete barriers, each measuring 12 feet long and weighing about 10,000 pounds, in addition to more than 200 racks of fencing panels.

The companies said the changing demands of a street circuit build required flexibility throughout the month-and-a-half-long project, allowing crane and trucking resources to scale as needed.

Following the race, BOSS and BME crews returned to dismantle grandstands and other temporary structures and remove barriers and fencing to restore the downtown area.

“This project is a great example of what Bennett companies do best — showing up, solving problems, and delivering results in complex, high-pressure environments. Our BOSS and BME crews executed flawlessly, and we couldn’t be more proud of the work they put in to make this race a reality,” said Kris Rzepkowski, vice president of corporate business development and marketing.
