Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing

Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing (RLL) is an auto racing team that has participated in the IndyCar Series and the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. Headquartered in Zionsville, Indiana and Hilliard, Ohio, it is co-owned by 1986 Indianapolis 500 winner Bobby Rahal, former television talk show host David Letterman, and businessman Mike Lanigan. The team won the 1992 CART Indy Car championship, and has won the Indianapolis 500 twice, first in 2004 with Buddy Rice and 2020 with Takuma Sato. The team was established in late 1991 when driver Bobby Rahal and business partner Carl Hogan purchased the distressed Patrick Racing team from U.E. "Pat" Patrick. Originally named Rahal-Hogan Racing, it was changed to Team Rahal in 1996 when Hogan left to form his own team. David Letterman purchased a minority interest in the team in 1996, and the team went by the name of Rahal Letterman Racing from May 2004 until December 2010. Throughout the team's history in IMSA with factory partner BMW, the sports car division of the team has run under the name BMW Team RLL.
