The upcoming Indy 500 is set to be an exciting race as Ryan Hunter-Reay returns behind the wheel of the #23 Chevrolet for Dreyer & Reinbold Racing. Last year, Hunter-Reay drove the same car to an 11th-place finish, and he is eager to build on that performance. A former Indy 500 winner and IndyCar champion, Hunter-Reay is no stranger to success on the track. However, he acknowledges the challenges that lie ahead with the latest car regulation changes. Despite this, Hunter-Reay is confident in his team’s passion and dedication, and together they aim to achieve glory at the greatest spectacle in racing.
Daly Joins the Team with High Hopes
Joining Hunter-Reay at Dreyer & Reinbold Racing is Conor Daly, who will pilot the team’s #24 entry. Daly, who has a best finish of sixth in the Indy 500, is no stranger to the race and is hungry for success. He brings previous experience with DRR, having competed in Nitrocross events last summer. When Daly received the call from Dennis Reinbold, the team owner, he was thrilled by the belief Reinbold had in him. Daly recognizes the incredible opportunity he has been given and is grateful for the chance to drive for such a reputable team at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Partnered with a champion like Ryan Hunter-Reay, Daly believes they have what it takes to be a real threat in the month of May.
The announcement also confirms the renewal of Dreyer & Reinbold Racing’s partnership with Cusick Motorsports. This partnership was formed for the first time last year as part of Stefan Wilson’s program. Unfortunately, Wilson’s injury in a practice crash led to Graham Rahal filling in for him at the Indy 500. Despite this setback, the collaboration between DRR and Cusick Motorsports proved to be fruitful, and they have decided to continue working together. This renewed partnership will undoubtedly bring added strength and expertise to the team, further enhancing their chances of success.
Dennis Reinbold has built a team that encourages camaraderie and fosters a winning culture. Both Hunter-Reay and Daly express their admiration for the team dynamics and how it has positively impacted their experience thus far. The passion and dedication exhibited by the team members at the shop have left a lasting impression on both drivers. The unity and shared vision for success provide a solid foundation for their Indy 500 campaign.
The return of Ryan Hunter-Reay and the addition of Conor Daly to Dreyer & Reinbold Racing bring renewed excitement and anticipation to the upcoming Indy 500. Hunter-Reay is determined to build on last year’s strong showing and fight for a top-five finish, while Daly is eager to prove his capabilities on one of the world’s biggest racing stages. With the continued partnership with Cusick Motorsports and a winning team dynamics, DRR is well-positioned for success at the greatest spectacle in racing.
