The subset of race car fans among the Ohio State faithful may know of Graham Rahal. Rahal is a professional race car driver from New Albany who is an unabashed Ohio State fan. Today, he scored a major win on his home soil when he won the Honda Indy 200 at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington.
Better yet, Rahal was wearing a Buckeye-striped helmet and Buckeye-themed gloves for the contest. That's winning in style.

More than just a dream win on home soil, the win is Rahal's second professional victory and puts him just nine points behind Juan Pablo Montoya in the IndyCar standings.
