Racing career[edit]
Karting[edit]
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, 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[edit]
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 28 August 2010.[3] He also set a series record of 9 poles and 7 wins en route to his championship.
Indy Lights[edit]
In 2011, Daly competed 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]
GP3 Series[edit]
Alongside his commitments in the Indy Lights series, Daly competed in GP3 with Carlin Motorsport. [6]
For 2012, Daly will continue 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]

In May 2012, Daly performed a straight line aero test for Force India at Cotswold Airport in Gloucestershire, England.[10]
