Conor Daly Facts

  • His younger stepbrother, Carter, was born with an accelerated heartbeat of 320 beats per minute. He had heart surgery in 2017.
  • He started his racing career in karting at the age of 10, moved on to racing cars in 2007, and racing cars full-time in 2008.
  • Conor broke multiple records in the 2010 Formula Star Mazda Championship. He had 7 wins, 9 pole positions, most laps led, 12 podium finishes, and the largest winning point margin since the championship’s inception in 1987.
  • He participated in a Formula One straight-line aero test for Force India in May 2012.
  • Shortly after a go-kart race in the past, his father, Derek, discovered Conor could hardly get out of bed. After family friends who were doctors heard about his increased thirst and a desire to have a fridge in his room, he was examined in the hospital, and diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2007.
  • His stepfather made Conor wear a dog tag when he went to race in Europe, to signify he has diabetes. He also always has a glucose monitor in his car during races and wears a Dexcom G5 sensor connected to his smartphone.
  • His dog named Champ passed away on July 25, 2017, at the age of 16.
  • He participated in the 30th season of CBS adventure reality-TV series, The Amazing Race, in 2018. When he was eliminated and came back home, he discovered he had lost his manager and was dropped from the A.J. Foyt Enterprises racing team.
  • He and his Roush Fenway Racing teammate in NASCAR, Ryan Reed, who is also a type 1 diabetic, were sponsored by Eli, Lilly and Company in May 2018. The sponsorship was rescinded because news surfaced that Conor’s dad used a racial slur in the 1980s.
  • Apart from Conor and Ryan, the only known active racing driver with Type 1 diabetes is a fellow American Charlie Kimball.
  • He drives a Subaru car outside of racing.
  • He is a big fan of snowboarding.
  • Conor loves to play video games and has a Microsoft Xbox console.
  • In mid-2019, Conor replaced his Carlin teammate, Max Chilton, in the remaining oval races. It was at Max’s insistence as he deemed oval races too big of a risk.
  • One of his close friends, an Indianapolis business owner named Chris Beaty was killed in the protest riots in late May 2020.
