Yahoo Autos RLL confirms Sato for Indy 500
Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing has its most recent Indianapolis 500 winner back in the fold for the month of May. Takuma Sato, winner of the Indy 500 in 2017 for Andretti Global and again in 2020 for RLL, will pilot the team’s fourth Honda-powered entry alongside Graham Rahal, Christian Lundgaard, and Pietro Fittipaldi.
“I’m absolutely thrilled to make my return to the 108th Indy 500 with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing,” Sato said. A heartfelt thank you to Bobby [Rahal], Mike [Lanigan], and David [Letterman] and the entire organization for this incredible opportunity. Gratitude overflows as I am driving the No. 75 entry with primary sponsorship from AMADA. My journey with RLL spans over a decade marked by shared successes and rejoining the team fills me with immense excitement. Here’s to reconnecting with familiar faces and forging new alliances. I just can’t wait to get to work.”
Lanigan, a key supporter of the Japanese veteran, hopes to pay a return visit to victory lane at Indy.
“It’s exciting to have Takuma return to the team for the Indianapolis 500,” he said. “As he has shown, he knows how to win at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and his experience will add value to our overall program. It’s also particularly exciting to have a globally-recognized company like AMADA join us in this program after first working together in 2023.”
