Following the absence of injured Mike Conway, Dreyer & Reinbold Racing announced that Graham Rahal will take over driving duty on the No. 24 Dad's Root Beer custom-designed Hot Wheels entry for the Iowa Corn 250.

Rahal, who still has not a full-time ride this year, will be back for a third time on the Iowa Speedway, having finished 11th and 10th with Newman/Haas Racing in the last two seasons.

For the first time since 2008, Rahal will be reunited with Justin Wilson with whom he teamed-up at Newman/Haas Racing.

The young American racer had lost his ride before the start of the present season with NHR but was able to drive for Sarah Fisher Racing in the St-Petersburg, Alabama and Long Beach events.

He was also reunited with his father as he was in the seat of the Rahal Letterman entry for the Indianapolis 500 where he finished 12th.
