500 Entry List Nearing the Magic Number

thepitwindowLeave a comment

With yesterday’s confirmations of Takuma Sato and Helio Castroneves to ride in the 110th Indianapolis 500, the field stands at 31. There has been no formal announcement that Colton Herta will be in the fourth Andretti car, but from what I’m hearing, that edal is complete. The entry list then stands at 32.

The organization that acquired Prema is likely to enter one car, and I’m hearing Abel Motorsports may enter a car. Katherine Legge is working to secure a drive, but which team she would be with is unclear.

I see another 34 car entry list. The former Prema group is scrambling to have a car on track for Long Beach, so I can’t see them fielding two entries for Indy.

Here is a break down of the entry list as it stands now:


Chevy (16)
McLaren (4): O’Ward, Siegel, Lundgaard, Hunter-Reay
Penske (3): Newgarden, McLaughlin, Malukas
ECR (3): Rossi, Rasmussen, Carpenter
Foyt (2): Collet (R), Ferrucci
JHR (2): VeeKay, Robb
DRR (2): Daly, Harvey

Honda (15) (16 with Herta)
RLL (4): Rahal, Foster, Schumacher (R), Sato
AG (3): Power, Kirkwood, Ericsson, (Herta?)
CGR (3): Simpson, Dixon Palou
MSR (3): Castroneves, Rosenqvist, Armstrong
DCR (2): Grosjean, Hauger (R)

.“Coach Cignetti will have our field in a special victory lap formation as he leads the stars of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES to the green flag at this year’s Indy 500,” INDYCAR and IMS President J. Douglas Boles said.

“His Hoosiers have been nothing short of remarkable, and their National Championship run inspired our entire state. He’s the perfect choice to drive the Chevrolet Pace Car, and I know his introduction on Race Day will bring out a special roar of appreciation from our crowd.”

Iconic Blue Envelopes Containing Indy 500 TicketsMailed to Fans Across Globe

thepitwindow

From IMS:

INDIANAPOLIS (Wednesday, March 11, 2026) – Indianapolis 500 fans will watch their mailboxes after the highly anticipated blue envelopes featuring Race Day tickets were mailed Wednesday, March 11 from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Ticket Office.

AJ Foyt Racing’s Caio Collet was on hand to assist with the initial mailing, which included shipments to all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and 32 countries around the world as race fans eagerly await the 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge on Sunday, May 24.

“It’s really impressive,” Collet said. “To connect the drivers and make them closer to the public is unique and something that only INDYCAR does.”

Collet also took time to write notes and signatures on a few envelopes, with these special messages going to ticket buyers from his native country of Brazil. In addition, 26 signed Parkside trading cards were randomly placed in envelopes as a unique surprise for ticket buyers.

It takes approximately nine weeks to package all pre-ordered tickets for mailing, from orders the day after the previous year’s race up to current orders. Hard work from employees in the Ticket Office and other Penske Entertainment Corp. departments ensures the ticketing process runs smoothly and on schedule.

A few facts and figures about this year’s initial ticket mailing:

Number of tickets sent: More than 225,000 items (includes 173,000 Indy 500 Race Day tickets, parking, qualification and practice tickets, concert tickets, etc.)

Number of blue envelopes sent: More than 33,000

Number of U.S. Postal Service trays to accommodate envelopes: More than 720

Weight of all ticket envelopes and trays in first mailing: More than 6,800 pounds

Hours needed to fill envelopes by hand: More than 1,100 person-hours

Number of working days to package envelopes: 44

Number of Penske Entertainment employees who fill envelopes: 68

Number of states distributed: 50

Number of countries distributed: 32 (including United States)

Fans who have purchased Miller Lite Carb Day tickets will receive their blue envelopes once the concert artists have been announced.

Federal postal inspectors came to IMS with a large truck for the first mailing. Collet joined IMS and INDYCAR President J. Douglas Boles and several IMS employees in helping to load the trucks

.“This is, if not the most important day of the year, certainly one of the most important as our fans can expect their Indy 500 tickets to show up in the mail,” Boles said. “Most people want that ticket because it means so much to them.”

Receiving an eagerly awaited blue envelope in the mail is a rite of spring for thousands of fans of “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”

But why are the envelopes blue? In the 1970s, Indianapolis 500 tickets were mailed in brown envelopes with the IMS return address in the upper left corner. In the 1980s, a heavier-stock, gray-colored envelope was introduced to mail the tickets, with just the IMS Post Office box number in the upper left corner. A computerized printer also was used for the first time in the 1980s to print ticket customers’ name and address on each envelope.

When the NASCAR Cup Series was added to the IMS schedule in 1994, the Ticket Office needed a way to distinguish between the envelopes containing tickets for the Indianapolis 500 and the annual NASCAR race, especially if the Postal Service returned the envelope as non-deliverable.

So, the IMS Ticket Office decided to color-code the ticket envelopes for each event. Indianapolis 500 ticket envelopes became blue, Brickyard Weekend envelopes became purple, Sonsio Grand Prix envelopes became green, and ticket envelopes for other IMS events use a variety of colors, including red, cream, gray and yellow.

Tickets for the 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge on Sunday, May 24, the Sonsio Grand Prix on Saturday, May 9 and all other Month of May events are available at IMS.com/Tickets or via the IMS Ticket Office at 317-492-6700.

Editorial Staff

Dreyer & Reinbold Racing (DRR) and Kingspan, a worldwide leader in high-performance building materials, announced March 11 their partnership to enter popular veteran driver Conor Daly in the No. 23 DRR Chevrolet car in the 110th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge on Sunday, May 24.

Daly, 34, from Noblesville, Indiana, will attempt to make his 13th start in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” He has recorded five top-10 finishes at Indianapolis, including in 2024 with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing. After starting in 29th position for DRR, he finished 10th. He led 22 laps and was the race’s biggest mover, gaining 19 positions. Daly has led a total of 82 laps at the “500.”

“Having a chance to go racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway again at Indy 500 with DRR means the world to me,” Daly said. “I love this event. I can’t wait to get back in the car, and I appreciate the chance that Dennis (Reinbold) and everyone at Dreyer & Reinbold Racing has given me to do the job I enjoy.

“We’ve set some high goals with the No. 23. We want to win this race together, and I appreciate that Kingspan has come on board for the biggest race in the world. We appreciate their support for this effort to chase after that nice cold glass of milk in the winner’s circle.”

Second-generation racer Daly was the 2010 Star Mazda series champion with seven wins and captured the 2011 Indy NXT by Firestone race at the famed Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach. Prior to his NTT INDYCAR SERIES career, Daly competed in GP3 from 2012-13 with a third in the series final standings in 2013. In the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, Daly has one pole (Iowa, 2020) and two podium finishes (second at Detroit, 2016; third at Milwaukee, 2024).

Kingspan, with 29,000 employees across more than 80 countries and 278 manufacturing sites worldwide, is at the forefront of innovative building solutions. In the U.S., the company operates 32 facilities across 17 states, producing best-in-class products for a wide range of sectors.

This partnership is a perfect match given Kingspan’s commitment to high performance and a speed-focused business mentality.

“We value partnerships that reflect our shared commitment to innovation and performance,” said Alswinn Kieboom, president of Kingspan’s North American insulated panels business. “Collaborating with Conor Daly and the Dreyer & Reinbold Racing team on the Indy 500 race provides us with a unique platform to reach our primary customer base while promoting our North American growth ambition.”

Dreyer & Reinbold Racing, based in Carmel, Indiana, will compete in its 27th Indy 500 this May with the 100-year legacy of the Dreyer and Reinbold families at the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This dates to DRR team owner Dennis Reinbold’s grandfather, the legendary Floyd “Pop” Dreyer, serving as a mechanic for the Duesenberg team in the 1920s. DRR has entered 51 cars in the Indy 500, and all entries have qualified.

“We are excited to partner with Kingspan to field our No. 23 entry for Conor in this year’s Indy 500,” Reinbold said. “Kingspan is a world leader in its field, and we are pleased to team them up with Conor and a strong DRR team this year.

“Conor has been a contender to win the biggest race in the world on several occasions, and we want to put him, Kingspan and our squad in the IMS winner’s circle on May 24. We were top contenders in last year’s event, and we are ready to reach the ultimate goal this year.”

Indianapolis 500 Veteran Hucul Dies at 79 

thepitwindow2 Comments

Another sad note from IMS:

 INDIANAPOLIS (Friday, Feb. 20, 2026) – Canadian driver Cliff Hucul, a veteran of three Indianapolis 500 starts in the late 1970s, died Feb. 17 on his farm in his native Prince George, British Columbia. He was 79.

Hucul made three consecutive starts in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” from 1977-79.

His best finish came as a rookie in 1977, 22nd in the No. 29 Team Canada McLaren/Offenhauser that Hucul bought after Johnny Rutherford drove it to victory in the 1976 “500.” Hucul completed 72 laps before being sidelined by gearbox problems. He qualified on Bump Day for that race despite touching the wall in practice the previous day and suffering two engine failures during the Month of May, a significant pitfall for his low-budget team

.Hucul’s best qualifying spot was 18th in 1979, his final “500” start.

The small-town driver from northern British Columbia learned his craft by racing stock cars and modified sprint cars at local tracks. He then began racing modifieds and supermodifieds in the Pacific Northwest against drivers that included eventual Indianapolis 500 winner and INDYCAR SERIES champion Tom Sneva and his brother Jerry Sneva.

Hucul made 24 total USAC and CART starts between 1977-81, with eight top-10 finishes. Hucul’s best finish in the standings was 11th in 1979, when he started the season by placing fifth at Ontario Motor Speedway and a career-best fourth at Texas World Speedway.In 1996, Hucul became a paraplegic after an automobile accident when crossing black ice on a highway in British Columbia. Despite being confined to a wheelchair, Hucul remained active, managing his farm and mentoring many drivers in the area. He was inducted into the Prince George Sports Hall of Fame for his lifetime contributions to auto racing.

Hucul is survived by his son, Kelly, and daughter-in-law, Sylvie; daughter, Michele, and many grandchildren.

Indianapolis 500 Veteran Krueger Dies at 74

thepitwindow

From IMS:

  INDIANAPOLIS (Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026) – Phil Krueger, a veteran of two Indianapolis 500 starts, died Feb. 9 in Indianapolis. He was 74.
Krueger, a native of Milwaukee, competed in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” in 1986 and 1988. His best finish was eighth in 1988, completing 196 laps in the No. 97 CNC Systems Sales March-Cosworth fielded by R. Kent Baker Racing. He also qualified a “500” career-best 15th that year.
The performance in 1988 also earned talented mechanic and fabricator Krueger the Clint Brawner Mechanical Excellence Award for his work tuning the 2-year-old car into a solid qualifying spot and top-10 finish and guiding an all-new crew for the team.
Krueger was a regular competitor in May at Indianapolis Motor Speedway throughout the 1980s, turning laps every year from 1981-89 with small, low-budget teams with older equipment.
He failed to qualify from 1983-85 and in 1989, and he didn’t attempt to qualify in his first attempt at the race in 1981 or in 1982 and 1987 due to crashes in practice
.His Month of May in 1987 symbolized his hard luck and perseverance at the Speedway. Krueger started the month as the chief mechanic for the Raynor Motorsports entry for Dennis Firestone. Krueger climbed into the team’s backup car as a driver after Firestone crashed and suffered a broken foot in the team’s primary car.
Krueger clipped the wall between Turns 1 and 2 in practice, damaging the rear suspension. He led repairs to the car and attempted to qualify on Bump Day. His opening lap of 203.920 mph was on pace to make the field, but he crashed in Turn 1 on his second lap and didn’t qualify. Still, Krueger earned the Jigger Award that year for his determination amid hard luck during May.
A model of perseverance and courage, Krueger suffered multiple fractures in the No. 89 Joe Hunt Magneto Eagle-Chevrolet – a 7-year-old car that he rebuilt during the previous offseason – in the 1981 crash at Indy and was seriously injured in crashes during CART races in 1984 and 1989 at Michigan Speedway but returned to race each time.
That determination also was displayed by Krueger as he climbed to the elite level of North American open-wheel racing. He started his career in endurance karts in his teens. In 1977, with a $200 budget in his pocket, he began competing in the USAC Mini-Indy Series.
Krueger then competed in Super Vee and Formula Ford while also learning how to build and fabricate Indy cars when not racing. His driving and mechanical skill helped him climb to CART in 1981, and he made 23 career INDYCAR SERIES starts between 1981-91. His best finish was fifth in the 1988 Michigan 500 among his seven career top-12 finishes.
After his driving career, Krueger worked as an engine builder, mechanic and crew chief. He also was a licensed airframe and powerplant mechanic whose passion for aviation included maintaining his cherished 1941 Luscombe and building a World War I-S.E.5a biplane from Royal Aircraft blueprints.Krueger also volunteered for many military causes, including working with the USO at Camp Atterbury in Indiana. 

Five Central Indiana Artists Selected to Welcome Race Fans in May

thepitwindow

From IMS::


INDIANAPOLIS (Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2026) – The five artists selected to create the 2026 Welcome Race Fans artworks, a culmination of the Hoosier hospitality that welcomes visitors to Indianapolis throughout the Month of May, were announced Feb. 4 by Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indy Arts Council.
Selected from a record-breaking pool of 120 applicants, the five artists who will create this year’s welcoming artwork are Kirsten Anderson, Jonathan E. Carr, Kylene Dolen, Kenyon Mason and Philip Ramilo.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2026, Welcome Race Fans exemplifies what May means to Indianapolis, both on and off track. Each year, Central Indiana artists are challenged to bring to life what “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” means to the Racing Capital of the World.
While some artists work in rich color palettes and others use computer coding as their medium, all Welcome Race Fans artists have drawn on personal connections to share uniquely meaningful stories about Indianapolis and its culture.
“Since the 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500 in 2016, Welcome Race Fans art has been one of the first things thousands of visitors see when they come to the city of Indianapolis and IMS for the Month of May,” INDYCAR and IMS President J. Douglas Boles said.
“As we showcase the more than 80 artists who have contributed to the program over the last decade and welcome five new artists in 2026, we’re reminded of the many reasons the Month of May is so special to so many.”
This year’s artists will create a piece of original artwork, to be placed throughout the city, using their unique processes and styles to showcase the intersection of art and motorsports. Both two- and three-dimensional pieces of art – like sculptures, carvings and papercraft – were considered and may be created for the program.
Kirsten Anderson is a passionate stained-glass artist who uses the copper foil method to take any picture and transform it into a unique, handcrafted glass design. She strives to select the perfect glass for every artwork, considering color, texture and pattern to ensure each piece tells a beautiful story that resonates, comforts and inspires.
Jonathan E. Carr is a digital illustrator with a career rooted in the expansive character of natural landscapes. Through a deeply immersive creative process, he is guided by principles of balance, beauty and intention to capture the authentic references that fuel his work and capture the dynamic energy of sport and auto racing.
Kylene Dolen is an acrylic painter whose pop-art style layers images and bold color schemes to curate vibrant art collages. Drawing inspiration from nostalgic memories and everyday life, she hand-draws on canvas before layering the art with acrylic paints and finishing them with a crisp black outline.
Kenyon Mason is a 2D mixed media artist inspired by graffiti, portraiture and bold use of color. He combines both dry and wet mediums and experiments with sustainable materials to create expressive, dynamic portraits reflecting the raw energy of contemporary street-style art and his refined traditional skills.P
hilip Ramilo is a mixed media artist whose work is influenced by his life experiences and cultural heritage. Through a blend of traditional and contemporary techniques, his art tells compelling stories that explore themes of identity, memory and transformation.
The five Welcome Race Fans artworks will be unveiled May 1.To explore the full list of Indy 500 community initiatives and programs, visit IMS.com/Community.
