Sage Karam and Conor Daly will fill out an all-American lineup for this weekend's NTT IndyCar Series Iowa 300 at the Iowa Speedway.
Karam joined the Delray Beach, Florida squad in last weekend's Honda Indy Toronto where he finished 21st.
"We were very impressed with Sage's steady progression throughout the Toronto race weekend and his willingness to learn and adapt," said team owner Trevor Carlin. "The fact that he hadn't been on a street course since 2015 and was still able to come right out of the gate confident and constantly improving every session was extremely impressive."
It will mark his return to the 7/8 mile oval for the first time since 2015 when he claimed his lone IndyCar podium with a third-place finish. He has a solid record at Iowa in the Road to Indy developmental ladder with wins across Indy Lights, Indy Pro 2000 and USF2000.
"I'm really excited to be back again this weekend with Carlin and SmartStop Self Storage for the Iowa 300. Iowa Speedway has always been a good track for me in the past, so I'm really looking forward to getting back to work there," said Karam.
Daly will once again drive the No. 59 Gallagher Chevrolet, whom he raced at Texas following Max Chilton's decision to stop competiting on ovals. He also competed at the Indianapolis 500 for Andretti Autosport and finished 10th.
