Conor Daly announced plans Wednesday to compete in the 2026 Indianapolis 500 for Dryer & Reinbold Racing.

The 34-year-old Indiana native will attempt to make his 13th start in the showcase race on May 24.

"Having a chance to go racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway again at Indy 500 with DRR means the world to me," Daly said. "I love this event. I can't wait to get back in the car, and I appreciate the chance that Dennis (Reinbold) and everyone at Dreyer & Reinbold Racing has given me to do the job I enjoy.

"We've set some high goals with the No. 23. We want to win this race together, and I appreciate that [sponsor] Kingspan has come on board for the biggest race in the world. We appreciate their support for this effort to chase after that nice cold glass of milk in the winner's circle."

Daly has recorded five top-10 finishes at Indianapolis, including 10th in 2024 while driving for DRR. He led 22 laps after starting 29th.

Daly has made 131 career starts in the IndyCar Series since his 2013 debut, including a second-place finish at Detroit in 2016 and a third-place run at Milwaukee in 2024.
