**Zionsville, Indiana** – The FBI raided the headquarters of the Rahal Letterman Lanigan racing team in Zionsville, Indiana, on Wednesday, sparking speculation about the nature of the investigation.
The bureau confirmed agents were present at the team’s 100,000-square-foot facility as part of an ongoing investigation, but declined to provide specifics. They assured the public there was no immediate threat.
Zionsville Mayor John Stehr confirmed the FBI requested assistance from local police, who remained outside while agents executed a warrant.
Rahal Letterman Lanigan, owned by former Indy 500 champion Bobby Rahal, late-night television icon David Letterman, and entrepreneur Mike Lanigan, issued a statement confirming their full cooperation with the investigation. They cited the ongoing nature of the probe as limiting their ability to share details.
The team competes in both the IndyCar and IMSA racing leagues, fielding three IndyCar cars and two IMSA cars. Their headquarters opened in 2022.
This unexpected development comes amidst growing interest in the racing team, particularly following Letterman’s recent comments to the IndyStar about his involvement. The late-night host detailed his long-standing connection to the sport and his admiration for Rahal, eventually leading to their partnership.
The FBI’s investigation into Rahal Letterman Lanigan remains active. Newsweek will continue to follow the story and report any further developments.
