The first IndyCar race of the new millennium was also the last one held at Walt Disney World Speedway, as the unpopular track (and its unpopular January race date) weren’t brought back in 2001. Between a course that injured a number of drivers, parking and drainage issues, and short entry lists owing to its early race date, the five-year experiment nevertheless had a fairytale ending for Robbie Buhl: in Dreyer & Reinbold Racing’s first-ever event, Buhl took his first (and only) IndyCar victory. He now runs the Racing 4 Detroit squad that competes in Red Bull Global Rallycross on a part-time basis.
