INDIANAPOLIS (Reuters) - At the Indianapolis 500 it is not always a case of father knows best, not even when those fathers are two American motorsports greats.

Graham Rahal, the son of 1986 Indy 500 winner Bobby Rahal, and Macro Andretti, whose father Michael won 42 Indycar races, both work in the family businesses and will be on the starting grid Sunday at the Brickyard.
