“Dreyer & Reinbold Racing is extremely excited to have Z-Line Designs return this year and we are looking forward to sporting the classic Z-Line Designs colors at five important events for DRR. We cannot think of a better brand to be associated with, especially for the Centennial celebration of the Indianapolis 500. I’d like to personally thank Jim and Monica Sexton for their continued support,” commented Dreyer & Reinbold Racing Co-Owner Robbie Buhl.

Z-Line Designs is a leading import manufacturer of ready-to-assemble furniture in a range of materials from solid American oak, birch, and maple to mixed media combinations of wood, metal, and glass.

“Z-Line Designs will continue to be a very vital part of Dreyer & Reinbold Racing.

We are excited to begin the 2011 IZOD IndyCar Season and experience future success with Z-Line Designs on and off the track in 2011,” said Dreyer & Reinbold Racing Co-Owner Dennis Reinbold

Dreyer & Reinbold Racing and Z-Line Designs had a very successful 2010 season together with Justin Wilson, who piloted the No. 22 Z-Line Designs car.
