As Mike Conway’s rehabilitation continues, Dreyer and Reinbold Racing has brought in Paul Tracy to drive Conway’s No. 24 machine for the next two events at Kentucky Speedway (Sat., 8 p.m. ET, Versus) and Twin Ring Motegi (Sept. 18). The former Champ Car World Series champion will have backing from Motegi Wheels.
Tracy has raced in three events this season — Watkins Glen with DRR, and Toronto and Edmonton with KV Racing Technology. His best finish came at Edmonton, where he placed sixth.
“I’m excited to have the opportunity to run some ovals with the team,” said Tracy in a team press statement. “It’s been a while since I’ve raced on an oval but I’m ready for the challenge with the next two races, plus I have some experience in Japan. Many thanks to [team co-owners] Robbie [Buhl] and Dennis [Reinbold] for welcoming me to their team.”
“We are very happy to have Paul back with us for the next two events,” Buhl said in the statement. “He’s a great driver and big personality, and we are thrilled to have him driving for us in Kentucky and Japan. Paul did a great job for us in Watkins Glen and we can’t wait to get him on an oval with us.”
Tracy will be making his Kentucky debut this Saturday in the Kentucky Indy 300. The full DRR release can be found here.
