🗣 'I knew the hurdles were going to be massive. This wasn’t as easy as me saying ‘yes’.' 😮 Graham Rahal “can’t believe” Honda allowed him to race a Chevy in the Indy500, and here's why 👇
Rahal has raced with Honda power for years but will now switch over to the Chevy-powered D&R after agreements were reached with both engine suppliers and his sponsors. He had failed to qualify for the 500 after his own RLL team-mate“When Dennis called me, I said ‘I don’t wanna waste your time, it’s probably best if you just speak to dad’,” said Rahal Jr. “While I was very appreciative, I knew the hurdles were going to be massive. This wasn’t as easy as me saying ‘yes’.
“We were sat together at 10:30 last night and said to ourselves ‘I can’t believe this actually happened’ – that Honda and Chevy both allowed this to happen. “I knew the challenges were far greater than me, I knew I had to step aside because, contractually, I don’t know what’s between RLL and Honda and all our partners.
“I know [Reinbold] is a high-class individual, and I know he and dad worked things out right away. I’m surprised, but it was certainly exciting for me when I found out late last night that we could make this happen.”
