“I’ve watched Graham over the years, and he has always been one to try and help others. This whole concept he’s involved in is to make things bigger and stronger, that’s the direction he’s headed, and we’ll be a part of that by promoting Task Force Rahal on our racecars. It is exciting that fans and sponsors can donate too!”
