Dreyer & Reinbold Racing (DRR) and Kingspan, a worldwide leader in high-performance building materials, announced March 11 their partnership to enter popular veteran driver Conor Daly in the No. 23 DRR Chevrolet car in the 110th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge on Sunday, May 24.

Daly, 34, from Noblesville, Indiana, will attempt to make his 13th start in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” He has recorded five top-10 finishes at Indianapolis, including in 2024 with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing. After starting in 29th position for DRR, he finished 10th. He led 22 laps and was the race's biggest mover, gaining 19 positions. Daly has led a total of 82 laps at the “500.”

“Having a chance to go racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway again at Indy 500 with DRR means the world to me,” Daly said. “I love this event. I can’t wait to get back in the car, and I appreciate the chance that Dennis (Reinbold) and everyone at Dreyer & Reinbold Racing has given me to do the job I enjoy.

“We’ve set some high goals with the No. 23. We want to win this race together, and I appreciate that Kingspan has come on board for the biggest race in the world. We appreciate their support for this effort to chase after that nice cold glass of milk in the winner’s circle.”

Second-generation racer Daly was the 2010 Star Mazda series champion with seven wins and captured the 2011 Indy NXT by Firestone race at the famed Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach. Prior to his NTT INDYCAR SERIES career, Daly competed in GP3 from 2012-13 with a third in the series final standings in 2013. In the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, Daly has one pole (Iowa, 2020) and two podium finishes (second at Detroit, 2016; third at Milwaukee, 2024).

Kingspan, with 29,000 employees across more than 80 countries and 278 manufacturing sites worldwide, is at the forefront of innovative building solutions. In the U.S., the company operates 32 facilities across 17 states, producing best-in-class products for a wide range of sectors.

This partnership is a perfect match given Kingspan's commitment to high performance and a speed-focused business mentality.

“We value partnerships that reflect our shared commitment to innovation and performance,” said Alswinn Kieboom, president of Kingspan’s North American insulated panels business. “Collaborating with Conor Daly and the Dreyer & Reinbold Racing team on the Indy 500 race provides us with a unique platform to reach our primary customer base while promoting our North American growth ambition.”

Dreyer & Reinbold Racing, based in Carmel, Indiana, will compete in its 27th Indy 500 this May with the 100-year legacy of the Dreyer and Reinbold families at the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This dates to DRR team owner Dennis Reinbold’s grandfather, the legendary Floyd “Pop” Dreyer, serving as a mechanic for the Duesenberg team in the 1920s. DRR has entered 51 cars in the Indy 500, and all entries have qualified.

“We are excited to partner with Kingspan to field our No. 23 entry for Conor in this year’s Indy 500,” Reinbold said. “Kingspan is a world leader in its field, and we are pleased to team them up with Conor and a strong DRR team this year.

“Conor has been a contender to win the biggest race in the world on several occasions, and we want to put him, Kingspan and our squad in the IMS winner’s circle on May 24. We were top contenders in last year’s event, and we are ready to reach the ultimate goal this year.”
