Bobby Rahal, Graham’s father and a former Indianapolis 500 winner, is thrilled to be involved in motorcycle racing and sees the partnership with XPEL as a logical step for their Ducati dealerships. They have a growing relationship with XPEL through their automobile dealerships and believe they are a leader in the industry.
