Conor Daly Lands Full-Time Ride with Juncos Hollinger Racing in 2025

By David Morgan, Associate Editor

Conor Daly has found his home for the 2025 NTT IndyCar Series season.

Juncos Hollinger Racing announced on Wednesday that the 33-year-old Indiana native would join its two-car operation on a full-time basis alongside teammate Sting Ray Robb.

Since finding himself without a ride midway through the 2023 campaign, Daly has been searching for his landing spot, running part-time for a few different teams, but a call-up from Juncos Hollinger at the end of last season to drive its No. 78 Chevrolet over the course of the final five races was just the audition Daly needed to get back in the seat full-time.

“I’m thrilled to be joining the JHR team for the full NTT INDYCAR SERIES season in 2025,” Daly said.

“After the excitement and success we shared in 2024, including Milwaukee, it feels like the perfect next step. I’m grateful for Ricardo and Brad’s belief in me as I embark on the revitalization of my career. I look forward to pursuing podiums and wins with this incredible group. Thank you to everyone involved in making this happen – it’s been a team effort, and we’ll continue to build on this momentum together.”

Daly delivered a pair of top-10 finishes at Milwaukee and Nashville, along with the team’s first ever podium finish with his third-place run in the first race of the Milwaukee doubleheader. The performance was enough to push the No. 78 team back into the Leader’s Circle by season’s end and keep his name in the hat for 2025.

After months of waiting to see how his fortunes would shake out for the upcoming season, Daly finally got the call that the seat was his and he would be a full-time driver once again.

“When Conor rejoined us last year, it felt like we seamlessly picked up right where we left off in 2010,” said Ricardo Juncos, Co-Owner and Founder of JHR.

“I’m thrilled to have him back in the car full-time for 2025. With both seats now filled, the team is laser-focused on building momentum and delivering standout performances throughout the year, aiming for an exceptional season ahead for Juncos Hollinger Racing.”

Brad Hollinger, Co-Owner of JHR, added, “Conor is an outstanding addition to our team. He is a fantastic ambassador for the sport and has proven his speed not only in our car, but also through his tested tenure in the series. Providing him with more opportunities to collaborate closely with our engineers and crew will undoubtedly enhance the team’s performance, and empower his own unrelenting drive for success.”

The 2025 NTT IndyCar Series season begins with the March 2nd running of the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, airing on FOX.
