Html helpers such as TextBox always first look into modelstate when binding their value and because there is already a value coming from the request string it ignores the second argument you are passing to it. So to achieve what you are looking for you might need to first remove the value from model state:

@model string
@{
    ViewData.ModelState.Remove(ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldName(""));
}
@Html.TextBox(string.Empty, (Model ?? string.Empty).ToUpper())
