It was announced today in Mexico City that Michel Jourdain Jr., who brought Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing wins in Montreal and Milwaukee in the Champ Car World Series in 2003, will again drive for the team in the 97th Indianapolis 500 Mile Race on May 26.
Jourdain, who finished 19th in the race last May, made his debut at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1996.
Office Depot Mexico returns as the primary sponsor of Jourdain's No. 17 entry and Grupo Indi and Grupo Multi return as associate sponsors.
The Mexican will have Graham Rahal, who was runner-up April 21 in the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, and James Jakes as teammates.
In 1996, Jourdain Jr. became the youngest driver to start a Champ Car race to date when he drove at Long Beach at the age of 19 years, 6 months and 12 days.
