Conor Daly's new USAF flying IndyCar colors

Ed Carpenter Racing's Conor Daly will once again rely on the full might of the U.S. Air Force this season as his sponsor in the NTT IndyCar Series.

The 29-year-old son of former F1 driver Derek Daly is continuing his partnership with the U.S. Air Force that started at the Indy 500 in 2018.

This year's design on the #20 Chevrolet-powered charger celebrates in spectacular fashion USAF's notorious B-2 Stealth Bomber, and a select group of Airmen from the 509th Bomb Wing based at Whiteman Air Force base in Missouri was the first to discover Daly's new livery.

The formidable B-2 heavy strategic bomber is renowned for its low observable stealth technology designed for penetrating dense anti-aircraft defenses.

But Daly is determined to make sure that he won't be flying under the radar this season in IndyCar.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
