ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Twenty-year-old Graham Rahal became the youngest pole winner in IndyCar Series history Saturday, besting a field of 22 cars to earn the top starting position in Sunday's season-opening Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.Out-performing one car in particular made the feat a little more special.
"To be honest, it doesn't get any sweeter ... you grow up as a Rahal and you're meant to want to to beat the Andrettis," said a smiling Rahal, who has now supplanted Marco Andretti as the IndyCar Series' youngest pole sitter. "That's just how it works and vice versa. If you think of the two big names in open-wheel racing, those are them."
