Hendrickson is honored to extend its sponsorship of the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing team. “The opportunity to have the engineers of Hendrickson and Rahal Letterman Lanigan working together to share best practices regarding the effect of road inputs and suspension technology is exciting for both teams. Our customers also appreciate the affiliation and hospitality that RLL provides throughout the year. This is a win-win for Hendrickson and Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing.”

Speaking about the announcent, Graham Rahal who recently signed a contract extension with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing stated;
It’s exciting that our partnership continues to grow with Hendrickson. “The Hendrickson Engineering Support Trailer is my home away from home at race events as I spend a large portion of my time at the track there. We have had competitive runs at Barber and Road America in recent years and started from pole at Portland so I’m excited to see if we can get a win for the Hendrickson Honda next year.”
