Conor Daly Lands Full-Time IndyCar Ride with D&R
Daly returns to a full-time ride after part-time Indy 500 starts, and DRR said the technical alliance should strengthen its 2027 campaign.
Indianapolis-based Dreyer & Reinbold Racing named Indiana native Conor Daly as its full-time driver for the 2027 IndyCar Series season, where he will pilot the No. 24 Honda.
After losing his seat with Juncos Hollinger Racing following the 2025 season, Daly returns to the team he competed for at the 2024 Indianapolis 500, where he finished 10th, and again at the 2026 race, finishing 12th.
To bolster performance, the team will form a technical alliance with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, combining DRR's oval track excellence with RLL's expertise on road and street courses.
CEO Derek Reinbold stated, "Conor has raced for us at Indianapolis, so we know how he prepares," emphasizing the team's confidence in Daly for a multi-year deal.
Daly expressed enthusiasm about the role, citing team owner Dennis Reinbold's directive to "finish the job" as the team aims to contend every weekend in 2027, transitioning to Honda from Chevy.
