Bobby Rahal, after witnessing his son, Graham Rahal make the IRL field for one of the set 33 positions in the field at the 2010 Indianapolis 500 yesterday (assumed ... or was he at Barber Motorsports Park?), flew in to the Monterey area to oversee the activities of his Rahal Letterman BMW M3 GT ALMS team. What greeted him was the following bit of damage to the #90 driven by Dirk Mueller ... at the time of this posting, it is unknown if the car will make the field.

At 10:31 am, Dirk Mueller (#90-GT BMW E92 M3) into the pits with damage to the right front, right rear, and rear end of the car. Apparently the car spun with contact but was able to drive back to the pits. This will be a big repair for the car before the race. There are left-over BMW parts near the tire barrier coming out of turn 6, it looks like this is where the incident occurred.
