Carlin have not confirmed any particular races for any drivers aside of Max Chilton, who is slated to drive the #59 Chevrolet in the 12 road and street course races and in the Indianapolis 500.
It is believed that Carlin will hire Conor Daly to drive the #59 Chevrolet in the other four oval races on the schedule, as he did last year.
Daly is set to drive the #20 Chevrolet for Ed Carpenter Racing in the 12 road and street course races and a separate entry in the Indy 500 this season while team owner Ed Carpenter drives the #20 Chevrolet in each of the five oval races.
Regardless, Carlin will not enter the 2020 season with any full-time drivers following the confirmations of Chilton, Sette Camara and Nasr.
