Graham Rahal has teamed up with John Force Racing, unveiling a striking new livery for the Las Vegas 4-Wide Nationals. This partnership has already found success after their collaboration led to John Force Racing’s 300th Funny Car victory at the Winternationals.
The connection between Rahal and Force runs deeper, with Rahal being married to John Force’s daughter, Courtney, since 2015. Courtney, a former NHRA driver herself, triumphed in multiple races before retiring in 2019 to focus on her family. This didn’t slow down Rahal and John Force, who continued their careers as prominent figures in their respective racing arenas.
Rahal, who also operates a performance shop in Indiana, embraced the opportunity to collaborate with his father-in-law. Their joint efforts bore fruit when the GRP-JFR team achieved a notable victory at the Winternationals, showcasing the strength of their partnership. Pleased with this success, John Force Racing prepared a distinct new livery for GRP, deviating from their classic white-blue scheme in favor of the GRP colors. This new design will feature on cars driven by Brittany Force, Rahal’s sister-in-law, and Jack Beckman. The team eagerly shared the revamped look, highlighting the collaboration’s creative side.
Despite their close relationship, both Rahal and Force maintain their own flourishing racing careers. Graham Rahal, an IndyCar driver, might be linked to John Force due to familial ties, but Force stresses that this partnership is founded not on family connections but Rahal’s enthusiastic dedication to racing.
Even as Rahal’s NHRA endeavors garner praise, his results in the IndyCar series are yet to shine this season. With a best finish of 11th in the first two races, Rahal is eager to secure a top-10 spot at the upcoming Long Beach race.
The collaboration between Graham Rahal and John Force Racing is not just a result of family ties but reflects Rahal’s passion and determination in the racing world. What began as a family connection has evolved into a robust partnership, setting the stage for future achievements. Observers keenly anticipate how this partnership will influence both their standings in the motorsport world.
