Conor Daly is back in NASCAR this season, though this time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
Daly will pilot the No. 44 Chevrolet Camaro for Alpha Prime Racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course on August 12 in the Pennzoil 150.
“Really appreciate Alpha Prime Racing giving me a chance to race at my home track at IMS on brickyard weekend,” Daly said in a social media post. “Will be fun to compete in the NASCAR Xfinity Series again! Could still use some associate sponsors on this deal so hit us up if you want to be involved!”
