Rahal rues lost IndyCar shot from Portland pole: “Wrong place, wrong time”
Graham Rahal, an Ohio native, started the race on softer alternate tires and led the first 21 laps. He made a pit stop on Lap 22 and fell to fourth due to traffic on his out-lap. Throughout the race, he gradually dropped down the running order and encountered a fueling issue on his final pit stop on Lap 81, falling to 12th place. Additionally, a delay caused by a stalled car on Lap 83 further hindered his progress. Despite a late spin by Colton Herta, Rahal could only move up to finish 12th. Rahal expressed frustration with the traffic and unfortunate incidents during the race, but acknowledged that there were likely opportunities where he could have performed better. He also commented on the aggressive driving style of some young drivers, noting that it differs from the way he and other experienced drivers came up in the sport.
