Simply over 18 months because it appeared his full-time American open-wheel racing goals had been over, ‘s profession has risen from the ashes.

Daly, the Indiana native who’s raced in IndyCar for practically a dozen groups will race full-time for in 2025, the workforce introduced Wednesday, finishing an overhaul of JHR’s two-car lineup that has featured 5 drivers over the previous two seasons and can add a sixth in 2025 in Daly’s new teammate, .

In Daly, workforce co-owners Ricardo Juncos and Brad Hollinger add a driver who has persistently put collectively top-10 finishes within the Indy 500 — 4 instances with three totally different groups — and excels on ovals, a key addition for a program that has picked up simply two oval top-10s since its return to competing full-time in 2021.

Conor Daly information:

That efficiency stage shone this yr when Daly subbed for the ultimate 5 races for JHR and delivered a pair of oval top-10s — . Daly, who turned 33 on Sunday, additionally delivered JHR’s first championship of any variety in 2010 in what’s now USF Professional 2000.

“When Conor rejoined us final yr, it felt like we seamlessly picked up proper the place we left off in 2010,” Ricardo Juncos stated in a information launch. “I’m thrilled to have him again within the automobile full-time for 2025.”

Added Daly: “After the joy and success we shared in 2024, together with Milwaukee, it looks like the right subsequent step. I’m grateful for Ricardo and Brad’s perception in me as I embark on the revitalization of my profession. I look ahead to pursuing podiums and wins with this unbelievable group.”

From final season:

Daly can be checked out as a pleader whose efficiency will finally decide the trajectory of JHR’s short-term future.

This challenge embarked upon by Juncos and Hollinger within the late-summer of 2021 already feels as if it is in its fourth distinctive section in comparatively brief order: a one-car workforce with Callum Ilott that sometimes flashed aggressive velocity; two automobiles throughout a rocky season that featured extra off-track storylines than on; and one which changed the younger hotshot Ilott with the notoriety of ex-F1 driver Romain Grosjean, in hopes that his international reputation and Agustin Canapino’s Argentine fanfare would generate sponsorship.

Through three races with Juncos Hollinger Racing, Conor Daly has the No. 78 Chevy he inherited to finish the 2024 IndyCar season sitting 13 points to the good in the Leaders Circle standings with two races to go.

A workforce that not often had sponsorship stickers in 2024, there is a motive JHR has a brand new lineup with Robb delivering what’s believed to be the biggest sponsor backing on the free agent market and , his Indy 500 and NASCAR sponsor from the 2024 season, together with different smaller offers he’d already collected as he navigated the murky waters of free company but once more.

Extra:

In August, that might’ve seen him fully change his profession path and race full-time in NASCAR’s Xfinity collection whereas solely working the five hundred in a one-off with Dreyer and Reinbold Racing. After that program was vehemently voted down, and with Grosjean concurrently working within the background to cobble collectively new companions to attempt to hold a maintain on his seat, there have been moments the place it was unclear whether or not Daly’s IndyCar profession would proceed.

Just some months later, he is discovered his fourth full-time house — beforehand working with Dale Coyne Racing (2016), AJ Foyt Racing (2017) and Ed Carpenter Racing (2022-23). Ought to he handle to carry onto this seat for a full two seasons — ECR reduce Daly halfway via his second full-time marketing campaign after inconsistent outcomes and intra-team pressure — or longer, this chance represents one which appears to have the constructing blocks for a long-term partnership.

“Our important precedence this yr is to construct upon the success we’ve seen within the workforce’s brief three-year marketing campaign,” JHR workforce principal Dave O’Neill stated in a information launch. “With Conor becoming a member of the workforce and Sting Ray already confirmed, we’re well-positioned to attain that. That is just the start of a long-term course of to construct a stronger and extra aggressive basis for the long run.”

Daly, nonetheless, is about to take over 4th all-time in collection begins with out a win. He at the moment sits tied for sixth at 115. His career-best factors end of seventeenth, which got here in 2022 in a season with ECR that includes a Fifth-place end on the IMS highway course and a run to sixth within the 500, matches that of Grosjean, the still-sidelined ex-ECR driver, and one spot again of Ilott’s 2023 efficiency that noticed him unceremoniously reduce deep into the offseason. Solely time will inform whether or not Daly can ship the on-track efficiency, off-track relationships and the funding that powers all of it to rid himself of his ‘IndyCar nomad’ standing.
