The Rahal Letterman Lanigan off season roller coaster continues. The team has had an FBI investigation at their shop, a 1-2 finish at IMSA’s Battle of the Bricks last month, and last week announced the signing of Indy NXT champ Louis Foster. Friday, sponsor Hy-Vee said they will no longer be the primary sponsor of car 45.

The Iowa based grocery chain will continue to sponsor the Iowa IndyCar doubleheader, but they will not continue their support of the Milwaukee race.

Rumors have been floating that their car sponsorship would move to A. J. Foyt Racing, but the company statement indicated they would no longer sponsor a car.

Hy-Vee has sponsored a Rahal car since 2021. That is a fairly long time in this modern era. All sponsors cut back their involvement at some point, some gradually, some severely, and some leave the series.

Rahal said they still plan to field three cars in 2025. This decision may affect which drivers the team can hire.
