Cusick Motorsports, Dreyer & Reinbold Racing enter Indy 500 with Stefan Wilson driving
Cusick Motorsports and Dreyer & Reinbold Racing will run in the 2023 Indianapolis 500 with Stefan Wilson driving the No. 24 car. It is the third time Cusick Motorsports will have a car in The Greatest Spectacle in Racing, the first year partnering with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing, which has back-to-back Top 10 finishes.
“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, in a news release. “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."
It will be Wilson's fifth Indy 500, with a best finish of 15th in 2018, which included leading four laps. Wilson had a top 10 finish in the Rolex 24 at Daytona with Cusick Motorsports earlier this year. His brother, Justin, who died as a result of injuries suffered during an IndyCar race in 2015, raced with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing in 2010-11.

“I’ve been very impressed with how hard Dreyer & Reinbold Racing has worked at and focused on the Indy 500,” said Wilson in a news release. “It’s such an honor for me to join them in partnership with Cusick Motorsports and work on our collective goal of trying to win the Indy 500. There’s a great opportunity here for us to all grow together. I hope this leads to more 500’s, and maybe even more races together. ... It just feels great to be rejoining them in a sense."
Wilson will participate in the Indy 500 Open Test on April 20-21, with practice for the Indy 500's 107th running starting May 16.
