The spark to Conor Daly’s latest shot at his first Indianapolis 500 by Gainbridge victory ignited with a direct message on social media. Daly and team co-owner and Indianapolis auto dealer Dennis Reinbold pulled the car cover off the No. “I have driven for Dennis before, but it’s been a car off his dealership floor,” Daly said. “I knew it was a good investment with Conor back then,” Reinbold said. “Indy was at the core of what we did,” Reinbold said. It may not race the entire 17-race slate, but this is a full-time racing team at its core. That’s great, but Reinbold said the team doesn’t aim to finish in the top 10. “I know all of the whole spectrum of what it’s like to be at Indy,” Daly said.
