Auto123.com has learned that Graham Rahal could drive a third Chip Ganassi Racing Indy car starting in May if sufficient sponsorship can be found in the coming weeks.
Rahal, who was let go by Newman-Haas-Lanigan Racing when the team lost sponsorship from giant McDonald restaurants last winter, was out of ride for the 2010 IndyCar season until Sarah Fisher offered him the opportunity to drive for her team.
The winner of the 2009 edition of the Honda Grand Prix of St-Petersburg will be back in a Dallara-Honda for the both the St Petersburg and Barber Motorsports Park rounds for Sarah Fischer Racing.
A switch to Ganassi afterwards is a possibility.
Ganassi knows that Rahal is a good value for the series as well as for some sponsors who could use the image of the young American rising star to their advantage.
