James Jakes has signed a one-year deal to drive Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing’s second car for the 2013 IZOD IndyCar season.
For the last two seasons, Jakes had been gaining experience as Justin Wilson's teammate at Dale Coyne Racing. This year, he is coming to RLL with the hopes of proving that he will be able to fight for top spots at every race.
"James is obviously an aggressive, competitive driver and I think that having both he and Graham on board raises the performance of the team as a whole," Bobby Rahal declared.
The RLL team will be out for the first time this year testing at Sebring later this month with Graham Rahal. Jakes will have to wait until Spring Training to make his debut with the team.
