Daly: 'I would love for a couple of these opportunities at one point that would stick and become more of a permanent home.'
Conor Daly has been a busy driver since being released from his IndyCar ride at Ed Carpenter Racing in June.His IndyCar one-off start for Rahal Letterman Lanigan this Sunday may be his best opportunity to audition for something more permanent.shortly after the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix in June, his future appeared somewhat murky. It’s hard for a race car driver in any series, particularly IndyCar, to get rides in the middle and second half of a season.
Conor Daly has been in many different seats this season, including a short IndyCar stint with Meyer Shank Racing.And this weekend at WorldWide Technology Raceway , Daly will be racing for the Rahal Letterman Lanigan team, replacing Jack Harvey, who was released from the team last week. “There's not many drivers who have experience with most of the teams, like I have now, and each one requires a bit of a different style, a bit of a different adjustment,” he said. “So, I can't complain, life is good. It's an interesting scenario, for sure.”“But I think a lot of what's happened this year was a blessing in disguise,” he said.
“The situation is very fluid at the moment. I still have a lot of goals that I would like to accomplish in the IndyCar Series with a competitive team. That's a chance that I haven't really realized in the IndyCar Series yet, you know, with a top-of-the-line program. That would be the goal.“However, I have to understand that being employed to drive in the IndyCar Series is still better than not, so any opportunity out there, we have to evaluate it.
“Mike was kind of like forced into the position that he was in,” Daly said of team majority owner Mike Shank after the terrifying wreck Pagenaud was involved in during a practice session at Mid-Ohio.
