Team History
Dreyer & Reinbold Racing occupies a unique niche in the IndyCar ecosystem as one of the premier Indianapolis 500 specialist teams. While most IndyCar teams compete in every race on the calendar, DRR has carved out a sustainable and competitive model focused primarily on the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. The team is co-owned by Dennis Reinbold, a successful Indianapolis businessman, and Robbie Buhl, a former IndyCar driver who brings firsthand racing knowledge to the operation. Their partnership has kept DRR as a consistent and respected presence in the Month of May for more than two decades.
The team's origins trace back to the late 1990s when it competed as a full-time IRL entry. Robbie Buhl himself drove for the team in its early years, and Dreyer & Reinbold fielded cars for a variety of drivers throughout the 2000s and 2010s. As the economics of full-time IndyCar competition became increasingly challenging for independent teams, DRR pivoted to an Indy 500-focused model that allows it to concentrate all of its resources and preparation on a single event each year. This laser focus has made DRR a formidable competitor every May, regularly qualifying cars in the 33-car field and occasionally challenging for strong finishes.
The beauty of the Indianapolis 500 is that it welcomes specialist entries like DRR alongside the full-time powerhouses. The team provides opportunities for drivers who might not have full-time IndyCar rides to compete in the biggest race in the world, and its presence enriches the Month of May with additional cars and storylines. DRR has entered notable drivers over the years including Sage Karam, whose aggressive Indy 500 driving style made him a fan favorite. For 2026, the team plans to enter two Chevrolet-powered cars for Conor Daly and Jack Harvey - both experienced IndyCar veterans who know their way around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Dreyer & Reinbold Racing embodies the enduring spirit of the Indianapolis 500, where independent teams with limited budgets but unlimited passion continue to pursue the dream of kissing the bricks.

Indianapolis 500 Victories
Dreyer & Reinbold Racing has not yet won the Indianapolis 500. The team has been a consistent entrant for more than 20 years, providing opportunities for a wide variety of drivers to compete in the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. DRR continues to pursue its first Indy 500 victory - a result that would be one of the most celebrated underdog wins in the race's history.
