About Graham Rahal
Exceeding expectations. It is tough to do when your last name is Rahal. Think about it - - your father, Bobby, won the Indianapolis 500 and three (3) IndyCar championships as a driver, won the Indianapolis 500 as a team owner, and is widely recognized as an extremely successful businessman. Needless to say, the bar has been set extremely high. Yet exceeding expectations is exactly what Graham Rahal has done and continues to do - - and he does it with a mature, calm, methodical style that is well beyond his age (19 years old).
How does Graham answer the bell? He wins his IndyCar Series debut and in the process becomes the youngest race winner in the history of major open-wheel racing. This accomplishment is one in a long line for Graham and his young professional racing career. For Graham though, it is not only about the on-track success, it is the way he goes about it and the way he carries himself. While climbing the racing ladder, Graham remained dedicated to his education. Despite missing more than 50 days of school his senior year because of racing, Graham graduated from high school with a 3.8 GPA. The media, sponsors and fans comment frequently on Graham’s maturity, his poise, and how he handles the pressure of the spotlight. Graham is a unique athlete - - the ultimate blend of a famous name, on-track success, a positive personality, and the ability to really move the needle for his corporate partners.
