Dreyer & Reinbold Racing is an American motor racing team in the open wheel Indy Racing League, with one series win by co-owner Robbie Buhl, who owns the team with Indianapolis BMW, Infiniti and Volkswagen dealer Dennis Reinbold.

Founded in 2000, D&R was one of the few teams that consistently ran the Infiniti engine until they left the series, then switched to Chevrolet and finally to Honda in 2005. When Buhl retired from the cockpit in 2004, he placed Felipe Giaffone in the cockpit, followed by Roger Yasukawa with financial backing from Honda. With Honda backing gone for 2006, some doubted if the team would continue, as Buhl had consistently stated that if running the team did not make financial sense, he would shut it down. However, sponsorship was found and the team named 2000 IRL series champion Buddy Lazier their primary driver. During the team's heyday in 2001 and 2002, the team often also ran a second car for Sarah Fisher. In the 2006 Indianapolis 500, the team's second car was driven by Al Unser Jr..

The team's only win came in the 2000 season opener at Walt Disney World Speedway, when Buhl stunned the establishment with a win from the 22nd starting position. The underfunded team has struggled since to compete with the front echelon teams. In 2006 the team scored their best finish for years when Ryan Briscoe showed a great turn of speed in the wet at Watkins Glen to get on the podium. Other good results in the season were few and far between however.

For 2007 the team has recruited two ex Fernandez Racing engineers and added a new sponsor. In January 2007, 2004 Indianapolis 500 winner Buddy Rice announced that this hiring spurred him to sign on with the team for the 2007 season and that the team may expand to two cars.[1] That was later confirmed with the news that Sarah Fisher has joined Rice in a two car team.
