Conor Daly and Dale Coyne Racing are back together. The 26-year-old American has completed a deal to race in this year's Indy 500 with support from the US Air Force.
"We're very happy to have Conor Daly back with us for the Indy 500," said team owner Dale Coyne. "Conor has done a great job for us in the past and we hope to continue that this year at IMS. We also very much look forward to working with Thom Burns Racing and we're extremely pleased and honored to be partnered and representing the United States Air Force."
Daly first raced for the team in a one-off entry at Long Beach 2015 before completing the whole 2016 season for the squad with flashes of brilliance throughout the year, including 6th at Indianapolis GP and a 2nd place at Detroit, his best finish in the series to date.
"It is an honor to have the opportunity to represent the Air Force at the Indianapolis 500," Daly said. "Memorial Day Weekend is an incredible time of appreciation for those who serve our country. I can't thank Dale Coyne enough for having me back on the team and Thom Burns enough for bringing this program together with the Air Force to give us a fighting chance at the 102nd running of the Indianapolis 500."
