Rahal gets new sponsor and livery for Texas race

Fleet Cost & Care car for Texas

Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing announced today that Fleet Cost & Care, maker of comprehensive fleet management software solutions NexGen and Atom, will debut as a primary sponsor on a Verizon IndyCar Series car with driver Graham Rahal for the Texas Indy 600 at Texas Motor Speedway on June 9.

Fleet Cost & Care, whose software enables companies to improve internal operations by providing a centralized system that speeds up invoicing, streamlines payroll and ensures safety and success, has been an associate sponsor for RLL since 2016. It will continue in that role for the entire 17-race Verizon IndyCar Series season in 2018, in addition to serving as primary sponsor on Rahal’s No. 15 Honda at Texas.

“The expanding commitment that the men and women of Fleet Cost & Care are giving RLL is tremendous," said Bobby Rahal, co-owner of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing with former late-night talk-show icon David Letterman and Mi-Jack co-owner Michael Lanigan. “Just as their software helps companies save time, ensure safety, improve data accuracy and just work smarter, their support of our program allows us to compete at the highest levels with the ultimate goal of winning the championship. We are proud of our Fleet Cost & Care partnership and look forward to growing our business together for years to come."

Rahal won the 2016 race on the high-banked Texas oval in the track’s closest finish ever.

“As Fleet Cost & Care celebrates our 25th anniversary, we could not be more excited to grow our relationship with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing," said Jeff Curran, Fleet Cost & Care president. “Being a sponsor of a team with the history of success and professionalism that RLL enjoys gives us great pride. We are looking forward to a great 2018 season and many more to come."

RLL also announced last week that Keihin North America, a leading manufacturer of precision technology parts for the automotive and powersports industries, has returned as a full-season associate sponsor after having been an associate sponsor of Graham Rahal’s entry in the 2017 Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil. Keihin will be featured on the entry of reigning Indy 500 winner Takuma Sato No. 30 Honda as well as Rahal’s entry in a multiyear program.

“We worked with (Keihin) only briefly in 2017, but were excited about the possibility of a long-term program and are thrilled to execute that in 2018 and beyond," Bobby Rahal said. “As a Honda dealer, I have always been impressed with the quality of their advanced componentry and believe there is much synergy between our two organizations."
