Conor Daly will again be taking the wheel of the Schmidt-Peterson Motorsports entry at Toronto, a seat vacated by the injured James Hinchcliffe after a practice crash at Indianapolis.

Daly was first tapped by Dale Coyne Racing at Long Beach, then ran the doubleheader for Hinchcliffe at Detroit. He only had a single practice session under his belt before running Long Beach and then he battled the rain like a veteran in Detroit two weekends ago, finishing sixth in the second race.

“You have a lot of question marks in your head – will I be able to stack up against these guys, how long will it take to get up to speed, how can I race with these guys?” Daly was quoted as saying.

“There was a lot of intense side-by-side racing at Detroit, a lot of back to front and front to back racing. We experienced every part of the field so there was a lot to learn and we proved we can run out front and be competitive. That’s what I’m happy about."
