Conor Daly makes his feelings known after massive outpour of love from fans following Juncos Hollinger seat

American professional racing driver Conor Daly has opened up on the love he has received from fans after securing a 2025 IndyCar seat. The 33-year-old will drive for Juncos Hollinger Racing in the upcoming campaign.

Conor Daly recently appeared on INDYCAR Radio and was asked to share his feelings ahead of 2025. He was specifically asked to talk about the love he has received from fans after signing with the Indianapolis, Indiana-based team.

"It's awesome. I mean that's why I continue to do what I do. I love being able to give people something to cheer for. It's obviously very personally satisfying to do quite well in the NTT IndyCar series, but yeah, having the support of fans, it warms your heart." Daly said.

While Conor Daly wholeheartedly thanked the fans for their support, he also talked about his late-season resurgence in 2024. He added:

"I don't really know honestly, but for me as a driver, if you get in a car that goes fast, it's not hard to operate it, you know what I mean. They gave me a good chance to compete, you know we even had, you said 13th at Gateway. We wrecked in that race, so like now I mean still to do that with what happened to us. It was pretty crazy but I've enjoyed working with this group and we were only together for almost less than a month, so I can't wait to be with them for the whole year." Daly added via INDYCAR Radio.

Conor Daly ended the 2024 IndyCar season in 26th place. He was only able to amass 119 points with only one top-five and two top-10 finishes.

Daly's also spoke about him previously competing in the Las Mazda championship in 2009 with Jucos Hollinger Racing.

"Yeah, we won a lot of races, won their first championships as a team together which is really cool, way back in the day. Yeah, Pro Mazda, Star Mazda, the Indy Pro 2000, whatever it is now, really really, a lot of history with this group."

The 33-year-old has competed in IndyCar 115 races across 11 years. He drives the number 78 and his best series finish to date has been 17th place, (2020 and 2022). Notably, his first-ever IndyCar race was the iconic Indianapolis 500 (2013). Other than this, he also has raced three times in NASCAR Xfinity Series with a best finish of 63rd, six races in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series with a 60th-position best finish.

Daly would most probably be eying at least a top-20 finish overall with Juncos Hollinger Racing in the 2025 season.
