My Take

David Donohue carries a name that means something to motorsport fans, as the son of the legendary Mark Donohue. What impresses me is that he didn't coast on the legacy. Born in Morristown, New Jersey, he raced at Le Mans as a Viper Team Oreca factory driver and won the 2009 24 Hours of Daytona with Brumos Racing, a brutal endurance test that rewards consistency over flash. The fact that he's also listed as an engineer tells me he understands a car analytically, not just by feel. Stepping out from a famous father's shadow to claim a major win takes real resolve, and I respect that.

Overview

David Neary Donohue (born January 5, 1967, in Morristown, New Jersey) is an American race car driver. The son of Mark Donohue, he was formerly active at Le Mans as a Viper Team Oreca factory driver, and in Grand-Am's DP class, where he won the 2009 24 Hours of Daytona for Brumos Racing.
