## Resource

IndyCar driver Graham Rahal sparked controversy after calling Indianapolis a “complete dump” on social media, citing rising crime including gun violence and a recent carjacking case. He shared that security guards felt unsafe during a race event, and recounted travelers who vowed never to return — a sentiment he finds deeply troubling. Though he later softened his language, Rahal stands firm on his core concern: safety is eroding downtown’s appeal. As a longtime resident, business owner, and father, he’s alarmed by stories like neighbors hearing gunshots late at night and businesses hiring private security just to get to their cars. Rahal isn’t backing down — he’s using his platform to demand action and is ready to collaborate with local leaders after the racing season to help fix the city’s safety crisis.
