91st Indianapolis 500 Entry List...........

Post by mlittle » Thu Mar 08, 2007 2:51 pm

Every year, from March to April, the eyes of the NA motorsports world are focused on a question of pressing importance........


Will there be 33 entries filed for the Indianapolis 500?

According to motorsport.com, Dreyer and Reinbold Racing have beaten everyone to the punch, becoming the first team on the IndyCar Series grid to file entries for "the Greatest Spectacle in Racing".........

Entries to date............
~~Dreyer & Reinbold Racing, 2 entries(Sarah Fisher, #5/#5T and Buddy Rice, #15/#15T); both entries are Dallara/Honda

For Fisher, it will be her sixth start; she currently holds the record for fastest qual. attempt by a female driver at 229.439 mph, set back in 2004; for Rice, it will be his fourth start; his best achievement was winning the 500 back in 2004 while in a substitute role for then-injured Rahal-Letterman Racing driver Kenny Brack.


And so it begins.......... :burnout: :burnout: :horn: :horn: :knight: :duel: :duel: :knight: :light: :drive: :horn: :box: :box1: :gl: :horn: :knight:
