Graham Rahal
Graham Rahal will begin his 18th season in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES in 2024. As the son of 1986 Indianapolis 500 winner and three-time INDYCAR SERIES champion, Bobby Rahal, he was destined to be an INDYCAR SERIES racer. Graham grew up at the racetrack and that was the only thing that interested him. Following the advice of his father to “Do what you love,” he has turned his interest in racing into a career. He held the record as the INDYCAR SERIES’ youngest race winner from 2008-2019 and is now one of the paddock’s most respected racers. With six series wins to his credit and five pole positions, Rahal plans to add to this total in 2024.
Away from racing, Graham is a sports fanatic, especially when it comes to the Ohio State Buckeye football and Columbus Blue Jackets hockey. He is a golfer but much of his time is now spent as a business owner, operating Graham Rahal Performance, a custom aftermarket performance company and specialty car dealership based in Indianapolis. He also owns two Rahal Ducati dealerships for high-end motorcycles one in each Indianapolis and Cleveland and will field a Ducati Supersport team in MotoAmerica. Additionally, Rahal opened Rahal Paint Protection in May 2022 installing paint protection films, and applying ceramic coatings and window tint and owns a Piaggio franchise (Rahal Piaggio) selling Piaggios, Moto Guzzis, Aprillias, and Vespas to the Indianapolis area.
Graham married retired drag racing star Courtney Force, daughter of legendary racer John Force and the couple are parents to daughters Harlan and Tinley. The couple host charitable events through the Graham and Courtney Rahal Foundation, which was formed in 2009 after Rahal was inspired by the philanthropic efforts of the late Paul Newman, whose team he drove for from 2007-2010.
