85 years have passed since a racing driver born in Indiana won the illustrious career. Daly will conduct Chevrolet No. 76 AMPM with Wilbur Shaw in his mind, almost literally. Shaw won three Indy 500 races, but no one from Indiana has won it since 1940.
It will wear a helmet that honors the legendary driver on Sunday.
“It’s crazy, 85 years since the last winner of Indy 500 from Indiana. That seems to be bad. It simply seems sad. So we have to change that,” said Daly, who was born in Noblesville, Pak Gazette Digital. “It was a great idea that occurred to my helmet painter.
“I try to find something unique every year for the Indy 500 helmet because it is just a special event, and we put an old photo of his car in the past: 1940 was the last winner, which is crazy. Put the 1940 ticket on the helmet also also with a couple of small small details.”
Daly described the 11th for the race and is ready to start between Scott McLaughlin and Alexander Rossi, who have won the race in the past.
He promoted how fast the car has been for him. Its average speed during rating was around 231 mph.

“I feel really good,” he said. “This is one of the best cars I have had in my Indycar career here, and I know it is a bold statement, but it has really been a pleasure to drive all week. I have matched my best initial position with 11. We are right next to last year’s barracks, Scott McLaughlin. We are in the fight … This car is simply fast and that is really special.”
He called to drive at such a high speed “really crazy.”
“I don’t know why you would not see what we are doing here because it really is crazy,” he explained. “We are at that level where cars are flying through the air, colliding at a high level, because we are putting these things on the absolute unequal edge of control and that is what is needed to win the biggest race that exists.
“It is the greatest race that exists in motor sports. Some people like to argue that, but physically, if you ask any racing driver who has been in sports for a long time, Indy 500, that is the great. It is crazy and what we are doing around is wild.”
Daly said winning the Indy 500 would be a realization of all the hard work he has done throughout his career.
“That is why I wake up every morning,” said Juncos driver Hollinger Racing to Pak Gazette Digital.

“I have gone to the whole milk in recent years, but I haven’t won yet,” he said. “So, I decided to change it. We are going to go 2% because why not? We elected something different and maybe that gets us victory.”
INDY 500 will be broadcast on May 25 in Fox with coverage from 10 am et. It will also be available to broadcast live on FoxSports.com and the Fox Sports application.
