Cusick Motorsports has teamed up with Dreyer and Reinbold Racing to field a joint entry in next year’s Indianapolis 500, the teams have announced.
Stefan Wilson will be the driver of the combined entry, continuing his relationship with Cusick and returning for his fifth Indy 500 in the #24 car.
Cusick Motorsports was founded in 2021 and has run the past two Indy 500s, and DRR has had continuous IndyCar experience since first entering the series in 2000.
Cusick teamed up with Dragonspeed for the race last year, but has found a new partner with an established crew that has fielded 45 cars over the years.
“As soon as the checkered flag fell on the Indy 500 this year, we set out to find the best possible partner for the future,” said Don Cusick, Founder and CEO of Cusick Motorsports.
“We have immense respect for what Dreyer & Reinbold Racing have done both on and off track over the years and quickly identified them as our ideal partner for this endeavor. We couldn’t be happier to partner with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing, along with several long-standing and new partners.
“We’ve created a special relationship with our partners and Stefan Wilson over the last two years – joining forces with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing will have a significant impact as we move forward.”
The entry already has a host of partners established for the effort, including a primary sponsorship deal with transportation provider CareKeepers.
The primary sponsor of Cusick’s entry last season, Gnarly Jerky, continues as one of the car’s multiple smaller sponsors.
Wilson started in the 33rd and final position in last year’s Indy 500 and finished 27th. His best result to date came during the 2018 running of the race, where he finished in the top half of the field in 15th.
The first time the new entry will be on track will be for the IndyCar’s open test session on April 20, with the 107th running of the race taking place on May 28.
