IndyCar: Post-Season Driver Grades

CONOR DALY. D. Conor Daly made the most of the poor equipment he had at AJ Foyt Enterprises to secure a few decent results throughout the year. While he only ended up with four top 10 finishes this season, three of those four top 10 finishes came over the course of the last five races, so he really stepped it up toward the end of the season. Plus, one of those results was a 5th place effort at Gateway, the highest finish of either of the team’s two drivers in 2017, which helps his grade.. No. 4. AJ Foyt Enterprises, Chevrolet

D. Carlos Munoz had the worst best finish of all of the full-time drivers this season, as his best finish in 2017 was only a 7th place effort at Long Beach. However, he did rack up six top 10 finishes this year despite the fact that he didn’t have great equipment driving for AJ Foyt Enterprises, and three of those top 10 finishes came in a three-race streak toward the end of the season, showing that he really started to step it up as the season came to a close.. No. 14. AJ Foyt Enterprises, Chevrolet. CARLOS MUNOZ
