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.

Derek 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. [1]

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, covering the 1990 San Marino Grand Prix for ESPN said, on lap two of the races coverage, referring to the section of track that would later claim Senna's life: "And that white to the left there is a new concrete strip, I'm not sure of the overall safety of that"[citation needed]

Derek's son Conor Daly is now racing in the Star Mazda Series and has moved successfully through the racing ranks in America and Europe earning the "Rookie of the Year" title and winning the Skip Barber Championship, as well as traveling to Silverstone, England and winning the Walter Hayes Trophy. He is the youngest competitor and only American to ever do this.
