Simon Pagenaud is yet to be medically cleared from his crash at Mid-Ohio earlier this month. Daly will run both races at Iowa this weekend for the team.
INDIANAPOLIS — Meyer Shank Racing driver and former Indianapolis 500 champion Simon Pagenaud will need at least one more week off as he continues to recover from a crash at Mid-Ohio in July.
Pagenaud shared on social media that as recommended by the IndyCar medical team, he is not cleared to race in this weekend's doubleheader races at Iowa Speedway. In his time away, Conor Daly will step back into the seat for the pink machine on Saturday and Sunday. “I’m thankful to Mike and Jim to calling me up to fill in for Simon again this weekend in Iowa," Daly said."Obviously I’m wishing him the best and hope that he gets well soon. Iowa has definitely become one of my favorite tracks in the last couple of years. Obviously I have qualified really well there – qualified on the pole and started in the top three the last two years. Hopefully we can replicate that qualifying performance, but also deliver in the race.
Daly and Ed Carpenter Racing parted ways in June. Since then, Daly has run one race for Meyer Shank Racing in a fill-in role and has run a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Mid-Ohio.
