The No. 21 Playa Del Racing entry has been withdrawn

The No. 88 Gardner Trucking American Dream Motorsports entry has been added with Phil Giebler as the driver of the Panoz chassis.

Giebler finished 29th in last year’s Indianapolis 500 start, earning Chase Rookie of the Year honors in his only IndyCar Series start. The California native is a veteran of 19 Firestone Indy Lights starts, recording seven top-five finishes, including a victory at Homestead-Miami Speedway in 2004.

Former Indiana Boxing Commissioner William Kelsey and Arizona businessman Eric Zimmerman purchased majority ownership of Playa Del Racing and have changed the team’s name to American Dream Motorsports.

The two have entered cars in the IndyCar Series, Champ Car World Series and NASCAR intermittently since 1997. This will be their first full-time racing endeavor.

PHIL GIEBLER: “It’s hard to put into words what it means to return to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Indy 500. I had a huge learning curve in my rookie run last year, but I plan on this being a much better year. To say Indy is all I’ve thought about for the last 12 months would be an understatement."
