Veteran IndyCar driver Conor Daly got off to a good start Friday in his NASCAR debut on the oval at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
After spending the past three years on the IMS road course, NASCAR has returned to the 2.5-mile oval course layout this year, the 30th anniversary of the first Brickyard 400. Daly, a 32-year-old Indiana native, is set to make his third series start this weekend with Sam Hunt Racing in the No. 26 Toyota but his first at his home track.
“It seems like every time I’ve done one of these in the stock car, it’s been like, ‘We’ll just see how it is in the race.’ And you’re like, ‘OK, cool.’ It’s fun to learn.” Double Duty Daly is actually pulling double duty this weekend, driving in Friday night’s Truck race at Indianapolis Raceway Park for Niece Motorsports, part of a three-race deal. Earlier this year, he made his ARCA Menards Series debut at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and finished eighth. Daly is very familiar with the IMS oval.
