Indianapolis, IN- Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing announced on Tuesday that they are parting ways with driver, Jack Harvey.
Harvey joined the team in 2022, but has never finished better than 10th in any race. In 79 career starts, Harvey’s best finish was a podium finish at the Indianapolis road course in 2019 for Meyer Shank Racing.
Harvey’s best finish in 2023 was a 13th at Long Beach, the 2nd race of the year.
“It was no secret that my time at Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing didn’t go as planned,” Harvey said on social media. “It was not through a lack of effort. I leave confident that I put my everything into every moment as a member of the team.
“Only time will tell what the future holds,” Harvey added. “I am more motivated than ever to find a new home in IndyCar to showcase what I am capable of doing behind the wheel of a race car. We are not defined by our failures but rather how we respond to them. This is just one chapter in my story, and I look forward to writing the next.”
Conor Daly will fill the seat of the #30 machine at the WWT Raceway on Sunday, August 27th.
“It means a lot to have a chance to drive for the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing team,” Daly said. “I’ve known Bobby (Rahal) 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. So it’s very special to have the chance to drive for this organization.”
“We will use the final three races of the season to gauge other racing talent,” Bobby Rahal said. “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.”
The driver for the final two races of the season has not been announced.
