CARMEL, Ind. — Wedbush Securities, a leading financial services provider, will serve as the primary sponsor of the No. 23 Dreyer & Reinbold Racing/Cusick Motorsports Chevrolet machine for the May 25 Indianapolis 500.
The entry will be driven by 2014 Indy 500 winner Ryan Hunter-Reay.
Wedbush’s entry into the 109th Indy 500 reflects its commitment to performance and trusted partnerships. For 70 years, the client-focused firm has delivered world-class execution and strategic insights through deep financial expertise, relentless service, and advanced technology.
DRR/Cusick Motorsports will field two entries in this year’s race — Hunter-Reay in the No. 23 Wedbush Chevrolet and Englishman Jack Harvey in the No. 24 INVST Chevrolet.
This year marks DRR’s 25th anniversary at the Indy 500, with the team having qualified 50 drivers in the iconic 500-mile race.
“We know that success depends on partnering with the most skilled and passionate teams. As Wedbush celebrates 70 years, we’re proud to partner with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing who, like us, is rooted in both legacy and innovation. Our teams share the grit that drives a winning culture,” said President and CEO of Wedbush, Gary Wedbush. “We are extremely excited to bring Wedbush to the Indy 500 with former champion Ryan Hunter-Reay,” said DRR team owner Dennis Reinbold. “Our goal is to put Ryan, DRR/Cusick Motorsports and Wedbush in the winner’s circle of the most famous race in the world. We want Wedbush to experience the thrill of victory in the Indy 500.”
The Dreyer & Reinbold Racing team carries a 100-year legacy at the Indy 500, starting with Dennis Reinbold’s grandfather, Floyd “Pop” Dreyer. A former mechanic for the Duesenberg team in 1925, Dreyer was also a renowned race car builder, constructing cars for the entire 1931 Indy 500 front row.
Hunter-Reay, a Boca Raton native, is a 16-time IndyCar race winner, 2012 series champion, and 2014 Indy 500 victor. The 2025 race marks his 17th Indy 500 start, with six top-10 finishes, and his third with the DRR/Cusick Motorsports team.
“To bring Wedbush to the Indy 500 this year is exciting for the DRR/Cusick Motorsports team,” said Hunter-Reay. “We all have the same agenda. That’s to win the Indy 500. We’re not there simply to participate. This is an incredible team with excellent staff and great preparation. I’m ready to go.”
