RAHAL ON HOLD
Rahal Letterman Racing might miss this year’s IndyCar Series season.
Team co-owner Bobby Rahal said his team currently doesn’t have a major sponsor and, unless one is secured, it will not race in the series this year.
“As of this time we do not have any sponsorship that will allow us to compete in the IRL in 2009, but by no means does that mean that we are giving up,” Rahal said in a prepared statement.
“We are continuing to search for sponsorship to run the 2009 season and to run in the Indianapolis 500 and we feel that there is still time for us to put something together that will allow that to happen.”
However, Rahal Letterman Racing plans to field cars in the Firestone Indy Lights Series as a partner with Andersen Racing, and in the American Le Mans Series.
