Hard Rock Hotel to sponsor Rice

The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas will sponsor Buddy Rice’s No. 15 Dreyer & Reinbold Racing Honda-powered Dallara for the final two races of the 2007 IndyCar Series season.

DENNIS REINBOLD (Co-owner, Dreyer & Reinbold Racing): “We’re excited to have Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Las Vegas join our team for the rest of the 2007 IndyCar Series season. They are a great organization and we look forward to growing our relationship with them in the future. I hope that we can give them some good results over the course of the next few weeks."

BUDDY RICE (No. 15 Dreyer & Reinbold Racing Dallara/Honda/Firestone): “I am so excited to have the chance to finally work with my friends at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Living my entire life in Phoenix only a few hours from Vegas, I spend a lot of my time there. I have been going to the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino for what seems like forever. Over the years I have had the chance to relax and party with a ton of my friends there. My wife Michelle and I actually had both of our bachelor and bachelorette parties there as well. I am excited to have the opportunity to work with them now and in the future. I am actually looking forward to our first on-site event that we are planning for the week of the SEMA show this November."
