DRR just entered two cars into the 2026 Indy 500, with Conor Daly finishing 12th and Jack Harvey finishing 22nd.

“We are heartbroken to share the news that our owner, leader, and friend, Dennis Reinbold, has passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family,” said an official statement from the team. We ask you to join us in supporting the Reinbold family and respecting their privacy during this painful time.

 “Dennis was a proud son of Indianapolis. He built a successful family of automobile dealerships across the state, and he loved the community of Indianapolis that gave him so much in return. That same devotion fueled his passion for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway—its history and the relentless pursuit of an Indy 500 win drove him every day.

 “We can think of no better way to honor Dennis than to chase a victory in the 111th Running of the Indianapolis 500. We ask race fans to join us in remembering the man, his passion for our sport, and the memories we shared.”

DRR has also enjoyed some success in rallycross, winning two Nitrocross titles and one Global Rallycross title over the years, and collecting 30+ victories.
