Conor Daly lands Indy 500 ride with DRR and ARCO sponsorship

Conor has transformed over the past couple years from someone I felt was fake-macho and annoying to a pretty deep, sensitive, humble guy. Taking such a licking in your career as a professional racing driver will do that to you, I guess. He has all the hustle to land great sponsors, and he certainly has enough ability as a driver to stay in the series compared to some of these other knuckleheads. He just hasn’t been able to land the fish.

DRR is clearly a great team for him to run the 500 with while he figures it out, and they are rumored to be targeting 2028 to get into the series full-time with the new car in 2028. He seems like a shoo-in for their veteran driver if he is able to work on the program with them starting now. Landing ARCO to sponsor the team is a pretty solid start.
