Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing driver Graham Rahal once spoke about a 'very interesting dynamic' he shares with his wife, Courtney Force. Rahal has been in the racing industry since 2008, and over the years, he has dealt with a lot of contract negotiations.

Speaking about the same with IndyCar's Eric Smith, in an interview from 2023, the American driver spoke about consulting his wife during the contract negotiations.

"I consult with my wife (and) with myself. I think it’s a very interesting dynamic. You know, I can't talk to my dad (Bobby Rahal) about it really. In the end, I did my negotiating through my dad, but really, it was Mike that I worked with, and at the end, it was Mike’s decision. And so, it's kind of an interesting dynamic for sure. I mean, in the end, I never have once doubted the team," Rahal said.

Courtney Force has a lot of experience when it comes to contract negotiations due to her own racing career as well, making her Rahal's go-to person during contract negotiations.
