Dreyer & Reinbold Return Full-Time to IndyCar With Conor Daly

Signing Daly gives the team an experienced lead as it rebuilds a full-season program for 2027.

Overview

  • The team announced Saturday that it will re-enter the NTT IndyCar Series full-time in 2027 and has signed Conor Daly to a multi-year deal to drive the newly acquired No. 24 entry.
  • Dreyer & Reinbold bought an IndyCar charter from Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing on July 22, which guarantees a grid slot and the revenue share that supports a full-season campaign.
  • DRR is switching from Chevrolet back to Honda engines to align its technical program with partners and support the operational needs of a year-long effort.
  • Leadership including CEO Derek Reinbold, president Brett DeBord and team principal Chase Selman completed the charter purchase and led the decision to sign Daly after the death of founder Dennis Reinbold.
  • The move reunites a long-running Indianapolis 500 team with a hometown driver who brings 133 IndyCar starts and several career highlights, and the team says sponsor and operational details for 2027 will be announced in the coming months.
