Ed Carpenter Racing ha𒀰s announced Conor Daly will complete its line-up for the 2020 IndyCar season, acting as the team’s road and street course driver.

Daly, who split a part-time 2019 campaign driving for Andretti Autosport, Carlin and Schmidt Peterson Motorsports and has not raced a full season since being at AJ Foyt Racing in 2017, will race in all but four rounds on the 2020 cal🍒endar.

The 27-year-old will partner new signing and Indy Lights runner-up Rinus Veekay for all events barring the oval races Ed Carpenter will contest, while all ༒three drivers will compete at this year’s Indianapolis 500 in a three-car ECR entry.

“I am so thankful fꦚor the loyalty the U.S. Air Force has demonstrated along with the faith in me to get the job do🔥ne,” Daly said.

“This has been an 🦄incredible relationship to see grow and get stronger as we continue to add races to our program. I couldn’t be happier to be getting one more step closer to full time Indy car competition.

“As an Indiana kid, it just feels right to be getting a chance with Ed Carpenter Racing. This team has done su🍸ch an incredible job over the years and I have a tremendous amount of respect for Ed an🌟d this group.

“I look forward to entering a season feeling fully prepared with simulator time and testing for the first time in ﷽several years.”

Ex-Renault Formula 1 driver Nico Hulkenberg had been linked with a seat at ECR but the arrival of Veekay as Spencer Pigot’s♚ replacement quelled such a move prior to Daly’s signing.

“I am extremely proud and excited to welc🌳ome Conor Daly a🧸nd the U.S. Air Force to Ed Carpenter Racing,” Carpenter added.

I have seen 🍌Conor grow a🍸nd mature over the course of his career and am confident that his best years are yet to come.

“🅷It is a huge honor to represent the men and women who serve in the U.S. Air Force and we ho🍸pe to make them proud this season.”
