Two more file entries for Indy.

Racing Professionals and Dreyer & Reinbold Racing have each filed single entries for the 86th Indianapolis 500 this week, bringing the running total up to 13.

Team owner-driver Jon Herb was listed as the driver on the Racing Professionals entry, filed 5 March, while Dreyer & Reinbold Racing filed its second entry 24 hours earlier, but with no driver listed. The team has already entered cars for its full-time Indy Racing League driver and team co-owner Robbie Buhl.

Herb, a Chicago native who lives in Indianapolis, will drive the #16 G-Force-Chevrolet for the newly created team. The official car name will be announced later, and no back-up car was entered. Ron Heck is listed as the chief mechanic of Herb's entry. Herb made his Indianapolis 500 debut last year, starting 25th and finishing 16th in a Tri Star Motorsports entry.

Dreyer & Reinbold Racing entered the #23 G-Force-Infiniti, with an identical back-up also entered. The driver, official car name, chief mechanic and team manager will be announced in due course.

The 86th Indianapolis 500 is scheduled for 26 May, but anyone wishing to be considered for an entry must return their application postmarked by 3 April. All drivers will compete for one of the 33 starting spots.
