'''Daniel John Sullivan III''' (born March 9, 1950), better known as '''Danny Sullivan''', is an American former [[racing driver]]. He earned 17 wins in the [[Championship_Auto_Racing_Teams|CART Indy Car World Series]], including the [[1985 Indianapolis 500]]. Sullivan won the [[1988 CART season|1988 CART Championship]], and placed third in points in [[1986 CART World Series season|1986]]. Sullivan also scored a victory in [[IROC XIII|IROC]]. He competed in the [[1983 Formula One season]] with [[Tyrrell Racing|Tyrrell]], scoring 2 championship points.

==Before racing==
Sullivan was born in [[Louisville, Kentucky]] to a building contractor father. He attended the [[Kentucky Military Institute]] and then the [[Jim Russell Racing School]]. He had several odd jobs before his racing career, including lumberjack, and most famously, [[New York City]] cab driver.<ref name="forix">{{cite web|url=http://8w.forix.com/sullivan.html|title=8W – Who? – Danny Sullivan|publisher=8w.forix.com|access-date=2014-05-09}}</ref>

==Formula One==
Sullivan was given a 21st birthday present of a course at the [[Jim Russell (racing driver)|Jim Russell]] Racing Drivers School at the [[Snetterton Motor Racing Circuit|Snetterton]] circuit in [[England]]. He competed in [[Formula Ford]], [[Formula Three]] and [[Formula Two]] before returning to race in the United States.

In 1980–81, he drove for Garvin Brown Racing in the [[SCCA]] [[Can-Am]] Series, scoring one victory in 1981 at the season-ending [[1981 Caesars Palace Grand Prix|Caesars Palace Grand Prix]].

In 1982, he made his début in the PPG Indycar series, and was recruited by the [[Tyrrell Racing|Tyrrell]] [[Formula One]] team for the {{F1|1983}} season at the request of primary sponsor [[Benetton Group|Benetton]], who wanted an American driver. Sullivan competed in the fifteen races of the 1983 season, scoring two points with a fifth place at the [[1983 Monaco Grand Prix|Monaco Grand Prix]] and finishing seventeenth in the World Drivers' Championship. He also performed strongly in the non-championship [[1983 Race of Champions|Race of Champions]] held at the [[Brands Hatch]] circuit in April, seeing off an early race challenge from {{f1|1980}} World Champion [[Alan Jones (racing driver)|Alan Jones]], before finishing second behind [[1982 Formula One season|reigning]] World Champion [[Keke Rosberg]], finishing only half-a-second behind the [[WilliamsF1|Williams]] after 40 laps of racing.

Nevertheless, he was somewhat overshadowed by his more experienced teammate, [[Michele Alboreto]] (who won the [[1983 Detroit Grand Prix]] for the team, its last F1 victory), and was not retained at the end of the season.

==CART career==

[[File:1988Indy500timetrials.jpg|thumb|right|Sullivan during time trials as the [[1988 Indianapolis 500]].]]
For [[1984 CART PPG Indy Car World Series|1984]], Sullivan returned to North America, where he competed in the CART PPG Indy Car series. He first landed at [[Doug Shierson Racing|Shierson Racing]], winning three races including the [[1984 Pocono 500|Pocono 500]], and placing fourth in points. In [[1985 CART PPG Indy Car World Series|1985]], he moved to [[Team Penske|Penske Racing]], winning the [[1985 Indianapolis 500]]. His victory at Indy, known in auto racing lore as the "spin and win" is one of the most legendary moments in Indy 500 history.

Sullivan would set the pace at Indy again in [[1988 Indianapolis 500|1988]], qualifying second and leading 91 of the first 101 laps. Sullivan was part of the all-Penske front row with teammates [[Rick Mears]] and [[Al Unser|Al Unser Sr.]] A wing adjuster broke on Sullivan's car just after the halfway mark, and his car hit the outside wall in turn one, ending his day. Nevertheless, he rebounded, posting finishes of 4th or better over the next six races, winning at [[Grand Prix of Portland|Portland]] and the [[1988 Michigan 500|Michigan 500]]. The win at Michigan completed a career Indy car [[Triple Crown (IndyCar)|Triple Crown]] ([[Indianapolis 500|Indianapolis]], [[Michigan 500|Michigan]], [[Pocono 500 (IndyCar)|Pocono]]). He finished the season with five top-five finishes over the final five races, including two wins. At the second-to-last race of the season at [[IndyCar Monterey Grand Prix|Laguna Seca]], Sullivan won the pole position, led the most laps, and won the race. With still one race remaining, Sullivan clinched the [[1988 CART PPG Indy Car World Series|1988 CART championship]], holding an insurmountable 35-point lead. It was Sullivan's first championship title and Penske's first since 1985.

In [[1989 CART PPG Indy Car World Series|1989]], Sullivan suffered a broken arm in a crash during practice for the [[1989 Indianapolis 500|Indy 500]], and would miss two races. He rebounded to win the [[1989 Pocono 500|Pocono 500]] in August - his second win in that event - and one other race to place a respectable seventh in points. Sullivan's last season with Penske Racing was [[1990 CART PPG Indy Car World Series|1990]]. He won two races in 1990, including the season finale at [[IndyCar Monterey Grand Prix|Laguna Seca]]. He won the pole and led wire-to-wire in his final start for [[Roger Penske]].

In 1991, Sullivan switched to the [[Patrick Racing]] [[Alfa Romeo in motorsport#Indycars|Alfa Romeo]] team. After going winless in 1991 in a very uncompetitive machine, he parted ways with [[U. E. Patrick|Patrick]]. Sullivan won two more CART races between 1992 and 1993, driving for [[Galles Racing|Galles-Kraco Racing]]. He scored the first win for the [[Galmer]] chassis at [[Grand Prix of Long Beach|Long Beach]]. It came after he bumped teammate and race leader [[Al Unser Jr.]] on the backstretch with less than four laps to go. The incident sparked friction within the team. His later years were plagued with inconsistency, leading to a semi-retirement in 1994. His brief tenure at Galles was described as particularly toxic.<ref name="MPP">{{Cite episode|title=Danny Sullivan on His 1992 Long Beach IndyCar Win|url=https://marshallpruett.podbean.com/e/mp-133-danny-sullivan-on-his-1992-long-beach-indycar-win/|access-date=July 16, 2019|series=The Marshall Pruett Podcast|first1=Marshall|last1=Pruett|date=April 6, 2017|number=133}}</ref>

In 1986, Sullivan was a guest star on the television show ''[[Miami Vice]]'' ([[List of Miami Vice episodes#Season 2: 1985–1986|"Florence Italy"]]) playing a race car driver accused of murdering a prostitute. The episode featured some short outdoor scenes in the pit lanes of the [[Grand Prix of Miami (sports car racing)|Miami Grand Prix]]. Sullivan had limited dialogue in the episode; his longest piece of dialogue was in a police station interrogation scene.

Also in 1991, the [[Leland Corporation]] released the arcade game ''[[Danny Sullivan's Indy Heat]]'', featuring his likeness.

In 1994, Sullivan took a sabbatical from Indy car racing. After being released from Galles Racing very late after the 1993 season, Sullivan was unable to find a new ride as most seats at that point had already been filled. He joined [[ABC Sports|ABC]]/[[ESPN]] as a color commentator. He also attempted to run selected events in the [[NASCAR]] [[Nextel Cup|Winston Cup Series]] that season.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nojavascript.html|title=Sullivan Puts Stock In NASCAR|date=January 18, 1994|work=[[The Charlotte Observer]]|page=2B|access-date=2013-01-12}}</ref> However, he failed to qualify for several events;<ref>{{cite web|url=http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1994-08-02/sports/9408010358_1_morgan-mcclure-runt-pittman-sullivan-both-novice|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303220438/http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1994-08-02/sports/9408010358_1_morgan-mcclure-runt-pittman-sullivan-both-novice|url-status=dead|archive-date=March 3, 2016|title=Sullivan Both Novice And Veteran At Indy|last=Williams|first=Charean|date=August 2, 1994|work=[[South Florida Sun-Sentinel]]|access-date=2013-01-12|location=Ft. Lauderdale, FL}}</ref> he qualified for only one race (the [[1994 Brickyard 400]]), and finished 33rd for a very underfunded team. In 1994, he had some guest starts for Alfa Romeo in the [[1994 Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft|DTM]] and together with [[Thierry Boutsen]] and [[Hans-Joachim Stuck]] he was third overall with the [[Dauer 962 LM]] at the [[1994 24 Hours of Le Mans|24 Hours of Le Mans]].

He returned to CART racing for one final year in 1995. His season ended early after a serious crash at [[Michigan International Speedway]]. While recovering from a broken pelvis and other injuries, he announced his retirement from open-wheel competition. He returned to ABC-TV for 1996–1998.

Sullivan was a paid celebrity endorser for Danny Sullivan Lexus in Jacksonville, Florida. The Lexus Dealership was owned primarily by members of the Davis family, who were the founders of [[Winn Dixie]] supermarkets.

Sullivan was also instrumental in the Red Bull Driver Search program to find an American driver to compete in Formula One. The program successfully promoted American [[Scott Speed]] from California, who drove for the [[Scuderia Toro Rosso]] team in {{F1|2006}} and {{F1|2007}}.

He was the drivers' representative on the stewards' panel for the [[2010 German Grand Prix]],<ref>{{cite news|title=Sullivan joins stewards for Germany|publisher=[[Haymarket Group|Haymarket Publishing]]|work=autosport.com|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/85411|date=2010-07-21|access-date=2010-07-21}}</ref> [[2010 Singapore Grand Prix]],<ref>{{cite news |title=Sullivan joins Singapore stewards' panel |publisher=PlanetF1.com |url=http://www.planetf1.com/news/18227/6393236/Sullivan-joins-Singapore-stewards-panel |access-date=2010-09-22 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100924071639/http://www.planetf1.com/news/18227/6393236/Sullivan-joins-Singapore-stewards-panel |archive-date=2010-09-24 }}</ref> [[2012 Hungarian Grand Prix]],<ref>{{cite web |title=2012 Hungarian Grand Prix – Race Preview |publisher=FIA |url=http://www.fia.com/news/hungarian-gp-race-preview |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131001033913/http://www.fia.com/news/hungarian-gp-race-preview |date=2012-07-25 |archive-date=2013-10-01 |url-status=dead }}</ref> [[2013 Australian Grand Prix]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-news/291548/sullivan-named-as-driver-steward-for-australia/ |title=Sullivan named as driver steward for Australia |date=2013-03-12 |access-date=2017-08-19}}</ref> [[2014 Spanish Grand Prix]],<ref>{{cite web |title=2014 Spanish Grand Prix – Preview |publisher=FIA |url=http://www.fia.com/news/2014-spanish-grand-prix-preview |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170509072402/http://www.fia.com/news/2014-spanish-grand-prix-preview |date=2014-05-07 |archive-date=2017-05-09 |url-status=dead }}</ref> [[2017 Azerbaijan Grand Prix]],<ref>{{cite web |title=2017 Azerbaijan Grand Prix – Stewards' Biographies |publisher=FIA |url=http://www.fia.com/file/58731/download?token=DJZY-zG3 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170819082515/http://www.fia.com/file/58731/download?token=DJZY-zG3 |date=2017-06-21 |archive-date=2017-08-19 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=2017 Azerbaijan Grand Prix – Entry List |publisher=FIA |url=http://www.fia.com/file/58823/download?token=RVOZZ2YY |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170819083102/http://www.fia.com/file/58823/download?token=RVOZZ2YY |date=2017-06-22 |archive-date=2017-08-19 |url-status=dead }}</ref> [[2018 Bahrain Grand Prix]],<ref>{{cite web |title=2018 Bahrain Grand Prix - Stewards' Biographies |publisher=FIA |url=https://www.fia.com/file/66886/download?token=psGI2JR5 |access-date=2018-07-21 |date=2018-04-05}}</ref> [[2018 Chinese Grand Prix]],<ref>{{cite web |title=2018 Chinese Grand Prix - Stewards' Biographies |publisher=FIA |url=https://www.fia.com/file/67200/download?token=Ekqq2iWg |access-date=2018-07-21 |date=2018-04-12}}</ref> and [[2018 Monaco Grand Prix]].<ref>{{cite web |title=2018 Monaco Grand Prix - Stewards' Biographies |publisher=FIA |url=https://www.fia.com/file/68529/download?token=etT-hitL |access-date=2018-07-21 |date=2018-05-23}}</ref>
