Graham Rahal replaces injured Stefan Wilson for 2023 Indy 500.

Graham Rahal will replace the injured Stefan Wilson in the No. 24 Dreyer & Reinbold Racing Chevrolet for the 107th Indy 500. Wilson suffered a fractured vertebra in a crash during Monday's practice session. Rahal, who was bumped from the field during Sunday's qualifying, will start the race at the back of the grid due to IndyCar rules. Rahal has led 28 laps in the Indy 500 and has three top fives, the most recent coming in 2020 when he finished third.

Graham Rahal replaces injured Stefan Wilson for Indy 500.

Graham Rahal will drive Dreyer & Reinbold Racing's No.24 Chevrolet in the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday after his own entry was bumped out of the race. Rahal will need to make adjustments as he has never driven anything other than a Honda. He plans to spend time with teammate Ryan Hunter-Reay to streamline the transition. Rahal drove Dreyer & Reinbold's No.24 entry in a one-off at Iowa in 2010. He was one of six drivers to pilot that car during the season.

Graham Rahal to replace injured Stefan Wilson at Indy 500.

Graham Rahal will replace Stefan Wilson, who is sidelined due to injury, in the No. 24 Dreyer & Reinbold Racing/Cusick Motorsports/CareKeepers Chevrolet for the Indianapolis 500. Rahal, who was bumped from the field in his own car, accepted the offer to drive for Wilson's team, completing an emotion-filled journey. The opportunity comes after Wilson fractured his back and would be unable to race after being hit from behind during practice. Rahal was chosen over a number of drivers to ensure he didn't miss out on competing in the race that means the most to every IndyCar driver.

Stefan Wilson's Indy 500 Race Cut Short by Practice Crash

Stefan Wilson will not race in the 107th running of the Indianapolis 500 after suffering a fractured vertebra in a crash with Katherine Legge during Monday's practice session. Wilson was driving for Dreyer & Reinbold Racing and qualified 25th. Legge, driving for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, qualified for her third Indy 500 safely in 30th. Both cars were damaged in the crash, but RLL will not run its backup car and instead choose to fix the oval car in time for Friday's "Carb Day" final practice session. Dreyer & Reinbold have not yet announced who will replace Wilson.
