Dreyer & Reinbold Racing


Biography
|   |
 | 
Circumstance and bad luck mean the 2004 Indy 500 winner hasn't won a race since finishing third in that year's championship, but he's gradually climbing back to where he belongs - the front of the IndyCar Series field - and taking Dreyer & Reinbold Racing with him. Expect to see him battling for a place in the top three at several tracks this year.
Rice's beloved Arizona Diamondbacks reached baseball's 2007 National League Championship Series - can they go a step better this time around? He's hoping so.
