When you look up the definition of "rising star" in a motorsports dictionary, the name Graham Rahal will most likely come up. After all, this 20 year-old second-generation racer has shown his potential and prowess on some of the world's most premier asphalt venues.
He's got all the makings of a true motorsports star. There's no question in the talent department, having won in his first start in the IndyCar Racing ranks at St. Petersburg last year and finishing seventh in this year's championship chase.
Just like his father, he has that Rahal coolness on the track and off, with a confidence that is cunning and precise. Simply put, he's not just one of America's greatest open wheel drivers, but he's also one of the best young guns competing in racing today.
Make no mistake, Rahal realizes the hardships of the sport as well as his place amongst his competitors that he competes against, no matter the layout, or duration of the race.
There's a tremendous amount of respect and admiration that he has for the sport, as well as the fact he's living the dream of many racing fans who long to know the sensation and rush of these machines.
I interviewed Rahal via email and found out he's quite a cool, collective, and good humored individual. No doubt, he's got the makings to be quite the racing icon in the future wherever this sensational star competes in at any given series and facility.
