David Letterman offered some cheeky broadcasting advice to IndyCar <\/a>analyst Jack Harvey. The 78-year-old was present in the pit lane during the Sonsio Grand Prix in Indiana on Saturday.<\/p>\n Letterman, who co-owns the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing<\/a> outfit, crossed paths with Harvey during the latter\u2019s grid walk before the start of the Grand Prix. The British driver-turned-analyst, upon spotting the veteran TV icon, was quick to ask him about his team\u2019s performance before opting to tap into his wealth of media experience.<\/p>\n In a video shared to X (formerly Twitter) by IndyCar, Letterman, touching on his team\u2019s performance, replied:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/template><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s what makes me excited, and of course for Graham [Rahal]\u2014and what a boost for the team. I mean, my goodness, if this hasn\u2019t been overdue and well deserved… God bless the team, here we are.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n When Harvey followed up with a question about tips for his broadcasting career, the auto racing team owner replied:<\/p>\n \u201cI think you need to continue wearing your helmet.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Harvey, responding, stated:<\/p>\n \u201cI don’t mind that. That’s a good answer.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Known for his sharp wit, David Letterman\u2014aside from co-owning the RLL team\u2014boasts decades of experience as a media personality. He famously hosted the late-night shows he featured in for over three decades and remains active in the media as a film producer.<\/p>\n Shifting the focus to the race action, David Letterman will hope his team can rack up as many points as possible during the Sonsio Grand Prix. The Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing team\u2019s best outing of the 2025 season so far remains the 11th-place result recorded by Graham Rahal at the Thermal Club Grand Prix.<\/p>\n Former IndyCar president Jay Frye has opened up about his switch to the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing team. The 60-year-old was part of the open-wheel series\u2019 administrative body for 10 years before his departure ahead of the start of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n The motorsports executive, in a video shared by IndyCar on X, expressed his enthusiasm for this new phase of his career and reflected on the successes he achieved during his tenure as IndyCar president. He said,<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been amazing. It\u2019s been a really good tenure running IndyCar\u2014very proud of what we accomplished. It was a great effort\u2026 we got a lot of really good things to happen over the tenure. Very proud of that.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n “But this is kind of\u2014you remember I did this before in NASCAR for 27 years\u2014it\u2019s kind of like riding a bike. We are back on the bike. The RLL group is a great group of people, great team, great history. You know, amazing ownership, amazing commitment from the ownership group. You know, it\u2019s all there\u2014we just have to capitalise on that.\u201d (1:19 to 1:54)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Frye, who previously held a senior executive role in NASCAR<\/a>, was involved in several key developments the American open-wheel series has undergone in recent history. The new RLL team chief will hope his experience and strategic insight translate into success with his Indiana-based team.<\/p>\nFormer IndyCar chief speaks about joining Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing<\/h2>\n
