ZIONSVILLE The Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing team broke ground on a new 100,000 square-foot headquarters Tuesday afternoon in Zionsville. It s set to open by the new year and create more than 70 new jobs by 2024 after more than $20 million worth of investment.
The organization is owned in three parts by David Letterman, 1986 Indianapolis 500 champion Bobby Rahal and Mike Lanigan. The latter two were joined at the ceremony by Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb and Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron both of whom spoke and helped start the digging at the ceremony.
“It’s just a flat-out exciting time to watch this ecosystem continue to mature,” Holcomb said. “What (RLL is) going to bring here is going to be instrumental for future growth not just in the state but really as a model for the rest of the world.”

TORONTO - The Honda Indy Toronto has been cancelled for the second year in a row because of COVID-19.
The City of Toronto announced Friday it is cancelling major in-person events through to Labour Day, ending hopes for the July 9-11 race.
The Toronto race has been an annual event running through the Exhibition grounds since 1986.
The event has not been on the schedule only twice since starting last year and in 2008 following the reunification of Champ Car and the Indy Racing League.
Racing legend Bobby Rahal won the inaugural race in 1986, then called the Molson Indy.
It was called the Steelback Grand Prix of Toronto when the Molson sponsorship ended in 2007 and then was renamed the Honda Indy upon its return in 2009.
Toronto s Paul Tracy is the lone Canadian to have won the race, taking the checkered flag in 1993 and 2003.
At the peak of its popularity, the Toronto event attracted more than 70,000 fans on race day in the early 2000s.
