About John O’Donnell
Most professional drivers grew up in the seat of a go-kart before they learned to drive a car.
John didn’t.
At 16, he convinced his family to let him try racing—just to see if his reaction times and love for driving could amount to something. Within months, his natural precision and focus stood out. Within two years he's now standing on podiums and competing in Formula races all over the world, competing against drivers who have been racing their entire lives.
Built on Grit and Heart
Every part of John’s story comes back to hard work.
No racing dynasty. No deep-pocketed sponsors. Just commitment, long nights, and a belief that effort can outrun expectation.
When he’s not at the track, John’s studying every detail of performance—from data logs and tire temps to throttle response and braking patterns. His goal isn’t just to drive fast; it’s to understand speed.
More Than Racing
For John, racing isn’t just about crossing the finish line. It’s about representing Utah on the national stage.
He carries the pride of his home base state with him everywhere—from local practice sessions in the mountains to major tracks across the globe.
He’s trying to be the first John O’Donnell—the driver who proves that where you start doesn’t define how far you can go.
That relentless curiosity — and Utah grit — is what makes John different.
Looking Ahead
John’s sights are set on the next levels of motorsport—Formula Regional, Formula 3, and beyond.
Each step forward brings new challenges, but also new opportunities for local brands and partners to join his journey early—when it still means something personal.
Because one day, when the world knows his name, Utah will already have known it first.
