Perry Ellis and IndyCar head for Toronto!



















Dreyer & Reinbold Racing kicked off their return to road/street courses in style. The team is eager to get back on track and show everyone what they accomplished in Watkins Glen last weekend.

This will mark Dreyer & Reinbold Racing’s first time to the streets of Toronto, and who better to do it with than exciting new rookie Mike Conway who will pilot the No. 24 Valspar.

Watkins Glen turned out to be a groundbreaking performance for Conway. The Brit went from 6th to 5th position in the first lap and continued to climb as the race progressed, running second for most of the time. With near perfect pit stops, Conway drove a good, consistent race.

Unfortunately, on the last stop he dropped to fifth position, but ran strong. As the race came to an end, he had some issues with the balance and on the last lap was passed by Marco Andretti, giving him a sixth place result.

This event marks Conway’s best qualifying and finish of the season. This weekend will not only mark Conway’s first time to the Toronto circuit, but he will also be running the No. 24 Valspar car this weekend for the first time this season.

Dreyer & Reinbold will be on track this weekend for the Honda Indy Toronto. The race will take place on July 12 and will air live on ABC.
