Power couple: Courtney Force, Graham Rahal
Graham Rahal has been a constant sight at NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series events around the country, cheering on his wife, NHRA Funny Car star Courtney Force, and when she has a chance, she likes to be pitside cheering on her hubby as he wheels his PennGrade Motor Oil-sponsored ride in the Verizon IndyCar series.
Motorsports’ power couple was very visible recently at the 41st annual Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach in Southern California where Rahal, at 26 one of the series’ young guns, was competing on the 1.968-mile, 12-turn circuit.
Rahal qualified his Honda-powered Rahal-Letterman-Lanigan Racing machine in the No. 17 spot and moved up two places to finish No. 15 at the event, the third of the IndyCar season.
