On Friday, Ed Carpenter Racing announced Conor Daly will be elevated as a full-time driver in the 2022 NTT IndyCar Series season, with BitNile as the primary sponsor in the No. 20 Chevrolet.
Conor Daly will enter his third season with Ed Carpenter Racing and ninth in IndyCar. Daly has competed in 80 races with one pole and one podium finish. This weekend, Daly will compete in the annual Chili Bowl Nationals.
Daly was excited to have a new sponsor for the upcoming season. “Being chosen to represent BitNile is without a doubt one of the most important opportunities of my career. This is an incredible partnership that we look forward to being able to strengthen and grow as we go after race wins together!”
Daly added, “To be able to come back to Ed Carpenter Racing for the full season is incredible. I haven’t had the chance to be with one team for the entire year since 2017, so this is something I am very, very thankful for. I have a lot of faith in ECR, and each year we continue to get better together. I couldn’t be more excited to get on track in the BitNile Chevrolet!”
BitNile Holdings, Inc. is a diversified holding company pursuing growth by acquiring undervalued businesses and disruptive technologies with a global impact that includes cryptocurrencies and innovations in the field of Decentralized Finance (“DeFi”).
BitNile Founder and Executive Chairman Milton “Todd” Ault on sponsoring Daly said. “I’ve been a fan of Indy car racing for a long time, and we are proud to have the opportunity to team up with Ed Carpenter Racing. It’s a natural fit for BitNile to join an Indiana business like Ed’s as we have a number of investments in the Midwest, including our mining facilities. BitNile operates with a ‘Risk On’ philosophy where risk is an integral element if you want to win. Conor Daly and ECR share that mindset, making us in perfect alignment.”
Team Owner Ed Carpenter on BitNile sponsoring Daly said. “I am extremely proud to welcome BitNile to the ECR family! It is exciting to be able to expand our team’s involvement in the culture of Bitcoin after running the Bitcoin car last May,” said Carpenter. “We will also represent a few other exciting brands within BitNile Holdings as the year progresses, so there is more to come!”
The 2022 NTT IndyCar Series season starts Sunday, February 27th, for the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.
