American Star Mazda champion eyes Road to F1
Daly has had a record setting season in the Star Mazda championship presented by Goodyear. He has set new records for the number of pole positions (9) and the number of podium finishes (11) in a single season. On the way to his impressive championship win, he has also scored 7 wins and will chase the ultimate record of 8 wins in a single season at the final round of the championship in Road Atlanta during the Petite Le Mans weekend. "This has been a dream season for me and I think it proves what can happen for a driver when he is with a team of dedicated people like the Juncos team . I've had a blast every weekend and have learned so much this season", said Daly. " It will be nice to go to the Petite Le Mans weekend and not have to think of the championship points. The mission will be the same though, get the maximum from both me and the car and let the rest take care of itself".
