Michael Andretti's IndyCar team has added Mike Conway as its fourth driver for the 2011 season.

Andretti Autosports made the official announcement Tuesday, though the team has not named a primary sponsor for Conway's car.

The 27-year-old English native drove for Dreyer & Reinbold in 2010 but missed the final four months of the season after a frightening crash late in last year's Indianapolis 500. He had multiple fractures in his lower left leg and a compression fracture in his back.

He will join three Americans on Andretti's team - Marco Andretti, Ryan Hunter-Reay and Danica Patrick.

Conway had three top-10 finishes last season.
