  • Gehl To Be Primary Sponsor Of Graham Rahal’s Entry At Road America Race Car Will Feature Throwback Livery

    Rahal Letterman Lanigan (RLL) Racing announced today that the Gehl brand, part of Manitou North America, will be the primary sponsor for Graham Rahal’s No. 15 Honda-powered entry at the REV Group Grand Prix at Road America on June 23. The livery is a throwback to a fan favorite that team co-owner and Graham’s father, Bobby Rahal, drove in 1994.

    “It’s always special for us to run a Gehl car anywhere but to run it at one of our favorite tracks, and one that brings back as many memories as Road America does is even more special,” said Bobby Rahal, co-owner of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing with David Letterman and Michael Lanigan. “Fans always mention the livery I ran in the 90’s as their favorite and this was designed with that in mind. Gehl loves it too and it matches their corporate colors, so it’s thanks to them that we are able to bring it back.” 

    Gehl was an associate sponsor of the team’s IndyCar Series program from 2006-2008 and again for the 2014 season. Most recently Gehl was primary sponsor of Rahal’s entry at Road America in 2018, at Iowa Speedway in 2017 and was co-primary at Road America in 2017. Manitou North America is a producer of Gehl, Manitou, and Mustang by Mustang branded equipment for construction, agriculture, mining, energy industries and beyond. In addition, Gehl is in their 14th year of involvement with Graham Rahal, whom they have supported since his 2006 Atlantic Championship season where he was runner up to the champion.
