Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:08:20 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Graham Rahal will get a chance to keep his Indianapolis 500 start streak intact after all, replacing the injured Stefan Wilson on Tuesday in the Dreyer & Reinbold entry after failing to qualify for the race with his own team.Wilson was hospitalized with a fractured vertebra following a crash in practice Monday. He was ruled out of the race, and that left car owners Dennis Reinbold and Don Cusick scrambling for a replacement less than a week before Sunday’s green flag.Rahal was their first choice, but he’d spent his career tied to Honda, which powers the Rahal Letterman Lanigan team. Dreyer & Reinbold runs engines from rival Chevrolet, and Rahal initially told DRR that any discussions were a waste of time because of his Honda relationship. He told the team to call his dad, 1986 Indy 500 winner Bobby Rahal, and see if there was a path forward.Sunday’s race will mark the first time in Rahal’s 17 seasons as a professional he will compe...
