Rahal to Race at Kentucky Speedway

Graham Rahal has been added to the entry list for the Kentucky Indy 300 at Kentucky Speedway on Saturday night (September 4). He will drive the Service Central No. 66 car for Sarah Fisher Racing ("SFR").

“I’m thrilled to be back in the car with SFR at Kentucky this weekend, especially with NTB and Service Central who supported me at Mid-Ohio. I’m extremely grateful for this opportunity, and I’m hoping we can give Service Central a great result in the No. 66 machine,” said Rahal.

This will be Rahal’s third time racing at Kentucky.

Team owner and driver, Sarah Fisher, is looking forward to teaming up with Rahal on the track. She will drive the No. 67 Dollar General car.

“We are very appreciative that Newman/Haas Racing gave us the go ahead to bring Graham on board for this race. He should be in a car as often as he can, and with the support of our partners we were able to pull that off for him this weekend. Graham works very hard outside the car to be in the car, and he always takes that next step to make sure he is as prepared as anyone out there,” said Fisher.

Last weekend, at Chicagoland Speedway, Fisher led Laps 81-90.

Reflecting on last weekend and looking forward, Fisher commented, “If you think I had fun in Chicago last weekend, I expect this weekend to be even better.”

Twenty-seven cars are entered in the Kentucky Indy 300. It will be the 200th IZOD IndyCar Series race. The race will air live on VERSUS (8 p.m. EST).
