With 110 career starts across 10 different teams, Daly has built up a reputation as a part-time specialist. That label isn’t necessarily by choice as the desire to drive full-time remains, the opportunities just have a habit of ending up that way. Since making his series debut in the 2013 Indianapolis 500, he has only contested five full-time seasons, including two - 2020 and 2021 - that were put together by running with now-defunct Carlin and Ed Carpenter Racing simultaneously.
This opportunity with JHR, which came after the team mutually parted ways with Agustin Canapino last week (LINK), returns Daly back to his roots and feature several familiar faces from his journeyman career. While he’s never previously raced for the team in North America’s premier open-wheel championship, the two were together for a magical run during the 2010 season in the Star Mazda Championship (now Indy Pro 2000), capturing seven wins, 12 podiums and nine poles across 13 races en route to title.
