EXCLUSIVE: Fernando Alonso's spotter knows his way around Indy
Scott Goodyear

Scott is a Canadian former race car driver. He ran the Indy Racing League and Champ Car series during his career from 1987, winning the Michigan 500 in 1992 and 1994.

Goodyear qualified for eleven runnings of the Indy 500 races from 1990 to 2001, missing only the 1996 race which he did not enter. After starting last (33rd position) in the 1992 race, he finished second to Al Unser Jr. by 0.043 seconds. Goodyear could have won the 1995 race, driving with Tasman Motorsports. But after leading 42 laps, he mistakenly passed the pace car on a late, very slow restart. He was penalized to fourteenth place after ignoring the black flags. That race was given to Jacques Villaneuve. Goodyear again finished second in the 1997 race after being passed by Arie Luyendyk on the backstraightaway at lap 194. He might have won if not for a controversial restart on the last lap, when the green and white flag waved despite the on-track lights still signaling yellow. Goodyear, who had expected the race to finish under caution, was weaving his car to keep his tires warm at the time of the restart. Meanwhile, eventual winner Luyendyk had already begun accelerating away from the field.

He retired from his racing career after a crash with Sarah Fisher in the 2001 Indianapolis 500 and then he became a color analyst for ABC and ESPN's coverage of the IndyCar Series, with Paul Page, Jack Arute, Rusty Wallace, Todd Harris, Marty Reid, Allen Bestwick and Eddie Cheever.
Scott was inducted into the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame in 2002 and the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame in 2014.

Goodyear was announced as the Race Director for both the Formula 4 United States Championship and the F3 Americas Championship starting in the 2019 season.

Notebook: Conor Daly's Daytona 500 Adventure perking up

Conor Daly
Conor Daly narrowly missed a harrowing crash by millimetres in the IndyCar Series season-opener.

The Ed Carpenter Racing driver was one of the lucky few to avoid the lap one crash at St Petersburg, which claimed six cars.

Daly swung to the left of the street circuit, just passing by the idle car of Devlin DeFrancesco before series debutant Benjamin Pedersen slammed into the stationary car.

Taking to Twitter after the incident-packed 100-lap race, Daly expressed his shock.

"Never heard anything like that impact before," he wrote.

"Felt like it was right next to my face. Glad they're okay."
Daly found himself on the receiving end of an incident later in the race after contact from Andretti Autosport's Kyle Kirkwood.

He fell to the rear of the field but eventually recovered to claim 14th, one lap down on the field.

"The race was playing out how we wanted," said Daly.

"We got really lucky to avoid that first crash, which was one of the craziest things I have ever seen in my life.
"I felt strong, running with (teammate) Rinus VeeKay and Josef Newgarden, then we just got taken out by Kyle Kirkwood.

"It was such a shame to get spun like that, but we hung on and kept fighting.

What was Conor's experience like when he qualified for the Daytona 500 and how does it compare to an Indy Car and an IndyCar race.There is to be a second NASCAR race for Conor? When NASCAR heads to COTA in Texas Conor will once again drive for TMT.
