for those following Connor (and/or who are PCA members and get Panorama), there's a great article in the February issue about Connor and his career path to Porsche.

Connor was in Star Mazda with Juncos this year, with Road to Indy $$ that ran out at the end of the year.
open wheel is the toughest of tough rows to hoe in US motorsports....switching to Porsche is a great move.
I've met Neil as well, nice kid
I hope he gets something sorted for 2013.

I hope he gets something sorted for 2013.Neil is with Cape/Wayne Taylor in USF2000 this year. In the spring training pre-season a couple of weeks ago (3 races at Sebring, 3 at Palm Beach) he won 5 of the 6. So no question it's up to him to perform!

I'd really love to see Sean and Madison on the team. They can certainly wheel a decent lap in a cup car!
I have followed Connor for a little while, and he knows his way around a track. It's nice to see the transition from open wheelers to tin tops. Good on ya, Connor!

Connor was a guest speaker at our POC awards banquet in January. Very articulate and well spoken young man. He was gracious with our members and seems to appreciate and embrace the opportunity he has earned.
I heard that Porsche was looking for their next hotshoe down here in in San Clemente, but I guess they have all of the middleaged, overweight drivers they needed and went with Conner instead. Too bad.
Cheers,

Speed has a full time ride in NASCAR Sprint Cup. We might not be NASCAR fans, but that is hardly a bad gig, a full-time ride in the most lucrative series in the country.

true but Scott had a lot of really lean years between toro rosso and this year (and even now he's with an underfunded Cup program)
