Indianapolis, IN (April 20, 2011) - Dreyer & Reinbold Racing is excited to announce a partnership with Motegi Racing for the 2011 IZOD IndyCar season.

The wheel manufacturer and marketer will be represented on the No. 22 DRR machine of Justin Wilson for the entire 2011 IZOD IndyCar Series season and on Paul Tracy’s No. 23 WIX Filters machine for the 100th Anniversary of the Indianapolis 500. Motegi Racing manufactures and markets purpose-built wheels for professional-level competition in drifting, rallycross and road racing, as well as available for street applications. Motegi Racing products have the perfect blend of attitude, performance and style with the latest technology and finishes.

“We are extremely excited that Motegi Racing will team up with Paul Tracy and Dreyer and Reinbold Racing for the upcoming 100th Anniversary of the Indianapolis 500,” said Jody Groce, President of Wheel Pros. “We have been a long time supporter of Paul and are happy to be back with Dreyer and Reinbold Racing for this historic race. The association with DRR along with WIX Filters and the other associate sponsors are a perfect fit for our brand. We look forward to a strong finish with them.”

Motegi Racing first joined the team last year as they campaigned the primary entry for Paul Tracy at the Kentucky and Japan events. They will be back on board in a larger capacity on the Canadian’s WIX Filters entry for the 100th Anniversary of the Indianapolis 500.

“It has been a pleasure working with the team at Motegi Racing, as well as the entire Wheel Pros family. The Motegi Racing brand certainly resonates with the IZOD IndyCar Series community and with a tremendously savvy group of marketers at Motegi Racing, we look forward to achieving and exceeding the goals and objectives set forth by our newest partner,” commented Dreyer & Reinbold Racing Co-Owner, Dennis Reinbold.

Dreyer & Reinbold Racing is entering its 12th season of full-time competition in 2011, making it one of the longest-tenured teams in IZOD IndyCar Series competition. Current Co-Owners, Dennis Reinbold and Robbie Buhl, first teamed in full-time competition at the Walt Disney World Speedway in January of 2000. With Buhl behind the wheel, the two owners tasted victory in their debut race. The 2009 IZOD IndyCar Series season-opener, on the streets of St. Petersburg, marked Dreyer & Reinbold Racing’s 200th series start. DRR now has over 270 starts to tuck under its belt and has qualified a total of 27 cars for the Indianapolis 500. In its history, the team has boasted a championship list of alumni drivers. Besides Buhl, the team has run Indianapolis 500 winners, Al Unser, Jr., Buddy Lazier, and Buddy Rice, along with IZOD IndyCar Series race winner, Ryan Briscoe. The team has one of the longest lines of heritage in American open-wheel racing and the Indianapolis 500 as Dennis Reinbold’s grandfather, “Pop” Dreyer, built leading roadsters that raced at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway during the 30s, 40s, and 50s.
