Racing history
In 1982, Daly began driving in the CART series and continued through 1989. He started 66 CART races, including each Indianapolis 500 from 1983–1989, except for 1986. He finished in the top ten a total of 21 times, including one podium finish, 3rd position, at Milwaukee in 1987.
In 1990, Daly had the unusual result of finish both first and second at the 12 Hours of Sebring, driving for Nissan.[1][2]
Daly is known in motor sports circles around the world as a driver, writer, broadcaster, racing advisor, and businessman. He runs a professional services company called MotorVation, and had been a commentator for American broadcasts of the Champ Car series, as well as a public speaker. One of the agencies that represents him is the National Speakers Bureau.[3]
He was also part of the ESPN Speedworld Coverage of the Grand Prix of San Marino in 1994, and therefore called the race in which Ayrton Senna was killed.
Daly's son, Conor Daly, is also a racing driver, starting in GP3 driving for the Lotus GP team in 2012,[4] and then continuing on to GP2 in 2014 driving for Venezuela GP Lazarus.[5]
