Ed Carpenter Racing has announced Conor Daly w𒀰ill complete its line-up for the 2020 IndyCar season, acting as the te🍨am’s road and street course driver.

Daly, who split a part-time 2019 campaign driving for Andretti Autosport, Carl♛in 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 calendar.

The 27-year-old will partner new signing and Indy Lights runner-up Rinus Veekay for all events barring the oval race🍨s 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 for the loyalty the U.S. Air Force has demonstrated al൩ong with the faith in me to get the job done,” Daly sa💮id.

“This has been an incredible relationꦯship 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 Ra꧑cing. This team has done such an incredible job over the years and I have a tremendous amount of respect for Ed and this group.

“I look f🧸orward to entering a season feeling fully prepared with simulator time an𝄹d 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 S🐽pencer Pigot’s replacement quelled such a move prior to Daly’s signin🍬g.

“I am extremely proud and excited to welcome Conor Daly and the U.S. Air F🌠orce to Ed Carpenter Racing,” Carpenter added.

I have se🦩en Conor grow and 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 an🦩d women who serve in the U.S. Air Force and we hope to make them proud this season.”
