Conor Daly, born on December 15, 1991, in Noblesville, Indiana, is a second-generation racing driver, following in the footsteps of his father, former Formula One and INDYCAR driver Derek Daly. His career began in karting at age ten, where he notably won the World Karting Association Grand Nationals in 2006. Transitioning to car racing in 2007, he competed full-time in the Skip Barber National Championship in 2008, securing first place with five wins in fourteen races. In 2009, he entered the Star Mazda Championship with Andersen Racing, finishing third overall with one win. He returned in 2010 with Juncos Racing and became series champion, setting a record of nine poles and seven wins across twelve races. His early success continued with a win in Indy Lights at the Grand Prix of Long Beach in 2011 while also competing in the GP3 Series.
Daly’s career progression saw him expand his international presence and professional racing portfolio. In 2012, he achieved his maiden GP3 win at Barcelona with Lotus GP and later tested an F1 car for Force India in May 2012. He further demonstrated his skill by winning the inaugural MRF Challenge Series championship in India in 2012–13, securing four wins and two additional podiums. He continued in the GP3 Series with ART Grand Prix in 2013, claiming another win at Valencia and finishing third in the championship. His IndyCar Series debut came in the 2013 Indianapolis 500 with A. J. Foyt Enterprises. Over the years, Daly has participated in various IndyCar capacities, including part-time rides with Dale Coyne Racing and Schmidt Peterson Motorsports, and a full-time season with Dale Coyne Racing in 2016, securing his first career IndyCar podium with a second-place finish at Detroit. He later ran full-time for A. J. Foyt Enterprises in 2017.
More recently, Daly has continued to demonstrate his adaptability across different racing disciplines. From 2020 to 2023, he drove a split schedule in the IndyCar Series with Ed Carpenter Racing and Carlin, securing his first IndyCar Series pole position at Iowa Speedway in 2020. During the 2021 Indianapolis 500, he led 40 laps, the most of any driver, before finishing thirteenth. He has also ventured into NASCAR, competing in the Cup Series, Xfinity Series, and Craftsman Truck Series. In 2023, he participated in the Daytona 500 with The Money Team Racing, becoming one of only 62 drivers to compete in both the Indy 500 and the Daytona 500. For the 2025 NTT INDYCAR Series season, Daly has returned to Juncos Hollinger Racing for his first full-time season with the team after delivering their first podium in 2024 at the Milwaukee Mile, finishing third. He also hosts the Speed Street podcast for Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s Dirty Mo Media.
