Graham Rahal found positives with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing’s (RLL) superspeedway program even with rain interrupting testing for the 108th Running of the Indianapolis 500.
It was roughly 11 months ago when Rahal was left sitting on the right sidepod of his No. 15 RLL Honda, head in hands and overcome with emotion after failing to qualify for the Indy 500. Rahal was able to start the race after being called up by Dreyer & Reinbold Racing to replace Stefan Wilson, who sustained a fractured thoracic vertebra in a practice crash a day after qualifying, but there was still a matter of RLL’s Indy woes.
” Rahal pointed to multiple times in that scenario his pace picked up from 220.6 mph to 221.3 mph and continuing to improve further into a run. “That's just a good indication,” Rahal said. “Those are things that we didn't have last year. “It’s a shame not to get a little bit of race running because I would have liked to see it with the heaviest downforce, we could put on just to see where we are competitively, but it was nice to at least feel that a little.
