Juncos Hollinger racing gave Conor Daly a 'great car' at the Iowa Speedway
While the Junocs Hollinger Racing team has come up with an update for fans following the I-74 fire incident, after the end of yesterday's Race 2, Conor Daly cut a frustrated figure.
Daly did tremendously well to secure a P7 starting position for the 275-lap Grand Prix (Race 2). Moreover, during the race, he was comfortably running among the front runners, but the yellow flags during the event led to Daly's downfall.
The 33-year-old was in the top five with 34 laps remaining, but the late crashes and the pitstop sequences meant that he eventually ended the race way down in P16. Via X, Daly thanked Juncos Hollinger Racing for a 'great car' but was also dejected with the overall outcome:
"I am in utter disbelief… couldn’t have possibly been a worse timed yellow. From top 5 all day to 2 laps down in the pit cycle… absolutely heartbroken for this team who gave me a great car today. Gutted…"The 2025 IndyCar season has only five Grand Prixs remaining on the race calendar. Conor Daly is currently the lead car for the Juncos Hollinger Racing team in the standings with 184 points (P18).
