Conor Daly – It’s just sinking in!

Noblesville, Ind. (September 25, 2008) – Being selected for the Team USA Scholarship really hasn’t sunk in yet. I actually don’t think it will REALLY sink in until I get to England and get used to the environment. It means so much to me because I was thinking all year of how I could get over to Europe to start racing, and the Scholarship gives me that chance! Racing over in England will be a huge eye-opener for Josef and me simply because we haven’t experienced the European style of racing before. No matter how different the racing we experience is, we will be able to handle it!

As I looked at some of the names of prior Scholarship winners I was very impressed. I did not realize how many successful drivers had gone through the scholarship program before. I can only hope to try and follow in their footsteps. This scholarship really gives me a chance to pursue my dream of becoming a professional racing driver.

I think Josef and I will not only learn a lot about racing but also a new culture. I have been to England a couple times before and it is one of my favorite places to go in the world. This will probably be one of the greatest experiences in my career. Personally, I will be very interested in the road cars over in England. Some of my favorite cars are regularly seen in the UK. I can’t wait to see how everything turns out over in England, but no matter what happens it will be an absolutely amazing experience!
