About this episode
Mike Lanigan discusses his extensive career in racing and business.
Known today as the “the third L” in RLL Racing, Mike Lanigan’s enthusiasm and contribution to the sport has amassed nearly four decades. A businessman-first, his family-owned MiJack Products completely revolutionized the transportation and shipping industry over the last seven decades, eventually expanding out to a family of businesses that are all now held under the Lanco Corporation. Capitalizing on his success in business, Mike has been involved with teams from Newman-Haas-Lanigan to Conquest to now Rahal-Letterman-Lanigan, and befriending names like Paul Newman and Walter Payton along the way. Dinner was served at St. Elmo’s Steakhouse in Indianapolis, IN, with Foxxi’s “How About That” taking us out. Thanks to Continental Tire for making this all happen!
