Racing career



Karting


At the age of 10, he began competing in karting, and, in 2006, he won the World Karting Association Grand Nationals. He progressed to car racing in 2007 and began racing cars full-time in 2008 in the Skip Barber National Championship, winning first place with 5 wins in 14 races, and Formula Ford.


On October 10, 2010, Daly finished runner-up at the RoboPong 200 all-star kart event at the New Castle Motorsports Park with teammate Graham Rahal. He finished runner-up to a team driven by Jay Howard and Bill McLaughlin Jr. The 2010 Izod IndyCar Series runner-up Will Power and ALMS driver Simon Pagenaud were 4th.[1]



Star Mazda Championship


In 2009, he competed in the Star Mazda Championship for Andersen Racing and finished third in points with a win at New Jersey Motorsports Park. He returned to the series in 2010, driving for Juncos Racing.[2] He became series champion after finishing in the top four positions in each of the twelve races, prior to clinching the title at Mosport International Raceway on August 28, 2010.[3] He also set a series record of 9 poles and 7 wins en route to his championship.



Indy Lights


In 2011, Daly competed part-time in the Indy Lights series with Sam Schmidt Motorsports.[4] His best result of the season was a win at the Grand Prix of Long Beach.[5]


In 2013, Daly returned to Indy Lights with a one-off appearance in the Houston race for Team Moore Racing, finishing third.



GP3 Series

Alongside his commitments in the Indy Lights series, Daly competed in GP3 in 2011 with Carlin Motorsport.[6]


For 2012, Daly continued in GP3 driving, for the Lotus GP team.[7] He took his maiden GP3 win in the second race of the season at Barcelona.[8] In the second race at Monaco, he made contact with the damaged car of Dmitry Suranovich which launched Daly into a catch fence and forced the race to be red flagged.[9]


For 2013 Daly remained in GP3, racing with the ART Grand Prix team. Daly captured one win at the Valencia Street Circuit feature race and placed third in the championship.



GP2 Series


Daly competed in the 2013 GP2 Series season season-opener at Sepang International Circuit with Hilmer Motorsport. He finished seventh in the sprint race and scored two championship points.


For 2014, Daly competed with Venezuela GP Lazarus[10] for 18 of the 22 rounds, with a best finish of seventh place in the sprint race at the Hungaroring.



IndyCar


Daly drove in the 2013 Indianapolis 500 for A. J. Foyt Enterprises. He finished the race in 22nd position.


In 2015, Daly subbed in for Rocky Moran Jr. at the Long Beach GP with Dale Coyne Racing. He then returned for the 2015 Indianapolis 500 in the Smithfield Foods "Fueled by Bacon" special run by Schmidt Peterson Motorsports,[11] but was forced to retire before the green flag due to a mechanical failure.[12] He replaced James Hinchcliffe for 3 rounds following Hinchcliffe's injury from a practice crash leading up to the Indy 500.[13] He finished sixth at the second race at Detroit.


In 2016, Daly raced the full 2016 IndyCar season for Dale Coyne Racing.[14] He led 56 laps at 5 different races, and finished 2nd in the first race at Detroit for his first career IndyCar podium. For the 2017 season, Daly raced the number 4 car for A. J. Foyt Enterprises.[15]


Daly lost his ride with Foyt for 2018, but was signed by Coyne for the 2018 Indianapolis 500. His No. 17 car, fielded in conjunction with Thom Burns Racing, was sponsored by the United States Air Force.[16]



Formula One


In May 2012, Daly performed a straight line aero test for Force India at Cotswold Airport in Gloucestershire, England.[17]



MRF Challenge


On October 27, 2012, Daly won the first race of the MRF Challenge series at Buddh International Circuit in India.



NASCAR


On May 11, 2018, Daly announced he would be making his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut at Road America in August, driving the No. 6 Ford Mustang for Roush Fenway Racing with sponsorship from Eli Lilly and Company. Daly and Roush teammate Ryan Reed are both Type 1 diabetics.[18] Before the race, Lilly ended their sponsorship of Daly after a controversy involving his father Derek.



Personal life


He is the son of Irish former Formula One and Champ Car driver and commentator Derek Daly, as well as stepson of Indianapolis Motor Speedway president Doug Boles.[19] He is a dual citizen of Ireland.


Daly was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes early in his career.[citation needed] He was sponsored by Lilly Diabetes in the 2016 Indianapolis 500.


Daly appeared on the 30th season of The Amazing Race, teaming with fellow IndyCar driver Alexander Rossi[20] where they finished in 4th place.


Daly's first cousin, Nicola Daly, is an Ireland women's field hockey international and was a member of the squad that won the silver medal at the 2018 Women's Hockey World Cup. She also works as a data engineer for Juncos Racing. [21][22][23][24][25]
