On Friday, May 22, 2026, Dreyer and Reinbold Racing (DRR) driver Jack Harvey piloted the No. 24 Chevrolet-powered IndyCar entry through turn one of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) oval during the annual Carb Day session, the final on-track public practice ahead of the historic 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500. Carb Day, short for Carburetion Day, marks the last chance for teams to fine-tune their setups, test fuel mixtures, and practice pit stops in front of tens of thousands of fans before the 500-mile race, one of the most prestigious events in global motorsports.
The 33-year-old British driver, who joined DRR for a partial 2026 IndyCar schedule centered around the Indy 500, posted a top-10 lap time during the 90-minute Carb Day practice session, clocking in at 227.8 miles per hour and showing consistent speed through the track’s four turns, particularly the high-banked turn one that has challenged even veteran drivers in this year’s practice runs. The licensable photograph capturing Harvey’s entry into turn one highlights the low, aerodynamic profile of his No. 24 car, the signature DRR blue and orange livery glowing under the clear Friday afternoon sun, as thousands of spectators lined the grandstands overlooking the first turn to cheer on drivers ahead of race weekend.
DRR team co-owner Dennis Reinbold noted after the session that Harvey’s consistent performance throughout practice week has positioned the team as a dark horse contender for the 2026 Indy 500 win, pointing to the team’s specialized pit crew and upgraded engine package as key advantages for race day. The 110th Indianapolis 500 is scheduled to take place on Sunday, May 24, 2026, with a projected sell-out crowd of over 300,000 fans in attendance at IMS. Harvey is set to start 12th on the 33-car grid, his highest starting position in his eight career Indy 500 appearances.

I’ve been following Jack Harvey’s Indy 500 runs for years, and it’s so exciting to see him putting up fast times with DRR this Carb Day. That turn one run looked so smooth, I’m definitely picking him as my sleeper pick for the win this weekend!
This shot of Harvey entering turn one is perfectly framed – the light, the angle, the subtle motion blur around the tires really captures the raw energy of Carb Day. I’m already reaching out to license it for our magazine’s Indy 500 preview issue.
Dreyer and Reinbold have always brought such a fun underdog energy to the 500, and having Jack behind the wheel of the 24 car this year is such a great fit. His top-10 lap time on Carb Day proves they have the speed to compete with the full-time teams this race weekend.
I was in the turn one grandstands when Harvey took that exact lap! The roar of the engine as he came through the banking was absolutely insane, I’m so glad there’s a licensable photo of this moment to keep as a memory of my first ever Carb Day trip to IMS.
