Brumos Racing #58 - David Donohue

To say that sports car racing comes second nature to David Donohue would be an understatement. The son of the late Mark Donohue, David has both the innate skill and pragmatic approach to the sport that made his father one of the most successful and respected drivers in racing's history.

After graduating from Lehigh University, David began racing as an amateur in 1991. That year he was named Eastern Motor Racing Association's GT Driver Champion and Rookie of the year. Shortly thereafter, he started his pursuit of a professional racing career - a career that is now highlighted by important and historic victories. These victories include multiple Manufacturer Championships, and a GT-2 class victory in the 1998 24 Hours of Le Mans. David is also credited with the first-ever podium finish for BMW of North America's M3 racing effort.

In 2003, David finished 2nd in class and driver points with ten top three finishes and three victories. He was behind the wheel of the Brumos Racing Porsche-powered Daytona Prototype that year in Grand Am's newly created top class. He continues with Brumos today, hoping to follow a successful 2007 season with even more podium finishes. If history is any indication of future success, David will again be among the first to take the checkered flag.
