Jack Harvey out at RLL, Daly to fit in at Gateway

Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing and Jack Harvey have parted ways with just three rounds remaining in the 2023 NTT IndyCar Series season.

Replacing the Britton for next weekend’s 500-kilometer contest at World Wide Technology Raceway will be Conor Daly. Daly himself parted ways with Ed Carpenter Racing after Detroit in June and has filled in at Meyer Shank Racing for the injured Simon Pagenaud at Mid-Ohio and the Iowa Doubleheader.

Harvey’s release comes following a lackluster 2023 season with a best finish of 10th at the Streets of Nashville. He ceremoniously bumped teammate Graham Rahal out of the field of the Indianapolis 500.

“First, I would like to thank Jack Harvey for all of his efforts on behalf of RLL for the last year and a half,” said team owner Bobby Rahal. “He committed fully to the team but for whatever reason, we weren’t able to achieve the results that he or the team deserves and we wish him well in the future.

“We will use the final three races of the season to gauge other racing talent. I’m very pleased that Conor has agreed to join us in St. Louis. He’s been strong there and I feel that he can bring value to the team while also providing us with a strong effort. I look forward to having him with us.”

Daly has shown pace at the 1.25 mile oval outside of St. Louis by scoring 4 top tens with a best finish of 5th in 2017.

“It means a lot to have a chance to drive for the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing team,” said Daly. “I’ve known Bobby ever since I was a child, our families are very close. Mike Lanigan is someone that has known my dad for a long time, and I’ve known him well too. And David Letterman is a friend of our family as well so it’s very special to have the chance to drive for this organization.”
