Sato to chase third Indy 500 win with RLL

Yesterday at 10:42 AM

Four of Takuma Sato's six IndyCar Series wins came while piloting a Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing entry, and the Japanese ace will chase another victory with RLL in May as part of its Indianapolis 500 program.

A winner of the great race in 2017 with Andretti Global and in 2020 with RLL, Sato will return to the No. 75 Honda during his quest to become Indy's newest three-timer.

"I'm very excited to return for the 109th Indy 500 with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing," Sato said. "Once again, a heartfelt thank you to Bobby, Mike, David, and the entire organization for this incredible opportunity.

"I'm also deeply grateful for the continued support from AMADA as the primary sponsor, alongside Panasonic Automotive Systems, Niterra, Deloitte Tohmatsu, NAC, Honda, HRC, and all our loyal sponsors. I can't wait to get to work."

RLL co-owner Mike Lanigan welcomed the addition of Sato's skills and experience to the team.

"Takuma has always been quick at the speedway and his two wins confirm his abilities at the Greatest Spectacle in Racing," he said. "I personally look forward with great optimism, to be the team that gives Takuma the opportunity to win the trifecta and am thankful to have AMADA as primary sponsor again."
