INDIANAPOLIS - For Graham Rahal, driving in the Indianapolis 500 has been an almost lifelong ambition. The son of 1986 Indy winner and IRL IndyCar Series team owner Bobby Rahal has been coming to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway since he was a small child, and he has visualized himself in a car on the famed 2 1/2 -mile oval many, many times.
An Indianapolis 500 winner and a NASCAR racing champ are part of this year's Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix 25th anniversary celebration. I think what I love so much about vintage racing is it's a living museum; you go out there and you watch the cars, and there's a history of the automobile before your eyes," said Bobby Rahal, 1986 Indy 500 winner and this year's honorary race director.
INDIANAPOLIS -- If Graham Rahal didn't know it before, he does now: There's no such thing as a birthright at the Indianapolis 500. Having a famous name didn't guarantee Rahal, son of 1986 winner Bobby Rahal, a smooth path to his first Indy 500. But after a few speed bumps that included getting bumped three times and venting at his team on the first day of qualifying, Rahal is ready to race Sunday.

Chip Ganassi resisted the temptation to expand his open-wheel organization the past three Indy Racing League seasons, in part, because of an unpredictable economy. But after a record-setting 2010 campaign in which his NASCAR and IRL teams captured the biggest races of the year -- Daytona 500 and Indianapolis 500 -- Ganassi decided bigger is better.

INDIANAPOLIS - Strategy was almost as important as speed Saturday as Scott Dixon won the pole for the Indianapolis 500 with a big gamble by his Target Chip Ganassi Racing team. Dixon and teammate Dan Wheldon, who took the second spot, both took advantage of Indy's unique qualifying format, which allows each entry up to three tries on each of the four days of time trials.

INDIANAPOLIS - Pumping his fist as he took the checkered flag and breaking down in tears when he was done, Helio Castroneves capped a perfect month of May with the biggest win of all Sunday at the Indianapolis 500. Castroneves became the ninth driver to win the historic race three times, and his timing couldn't have been better. Just 51/2 weeks ago, he was acquitted of most charges at a federal tax evasion trial, and the remaining count was thrown out on Friday.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Bobby Rahal believes the Indianapolis 500 rookie class could change the look of IndyCar racing -- and not just because his 19-year-old son, Graham, happens to be one of the series' top new faces. With the veterans coming over from Champ Car, talented young drivers getting a chance to drive for established teams and the elimination of a contentious rift between the rival open-wheel series, Rahal thinks it could turn into a showcase for the series' future stars.

Indianapolis Forget for a moment about the first impressions Danica Patrick leaves. It's her racer's pedigree that caught the attention of retired champion Bobby Rahal, not the fact that she's 5-foot-2 or has the handshake of a longshoreman. And it's not her glamour photos that are quickly making Patrick the talk of the 89th Indianapolis 500. It's her talent and bravery on a tricky racetrack.
