There’s a new contender in INDYCAR’s Battle for Ohio. Shank, 52, has been coming to the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course since he was 7. At that time, the big-name professional driver from Ohio was Bobby Rahal. “In Columbus, he’s a superstar,” Shank said of his fellow team owner. “I’m still a big fan of Mike Shank,” Bobby Rahal said. “I think it’s great for Ohio to have Graham, Mike Shank and me. Graham says the most special race he has ever won was at Mid-Ohio in 2015. To add Shank’s name to the Rahals on the list of winning teams at Mid-Ohio would be a tremendous career achievement. Graham drove his father’s entry to victory in the 2015 Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio.
