Trevor Daley’s breakthrough season

“We make a living by what we get,” said the inimitable Winston Churchill, “but we make a life by what we give.”

No one’s ever doubted Trevor Daley’s dedication to racing. He’s been all-in for a decade. But the just-wrapped 2024 CSBK season proves that sometimes a change of tact is all we need to reach our potential. Despite attending three of six rounds, Trevor had his most successful season to date. With the pressure to contest for the title removed, Trevor relaxed and found his groove.

Half a season, of course, doesn’t mean half as much work—not when you’re running both superbike and pro sport classes. A pair of Sunday wins at Grand Bend—including his first ever superbike win—started Trevor’s season in style, a form he backed up with another pair of wins at the series flagship round at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP) in August. And, of course, because Trevor is as dismissive of serious injuries as the rest of us might dismiss a blackfly bite, his dominant superbike win at CTMP in mixed weather conditions with a multitude of broken bones in his left hand proves that amongst the current CSBK grid, he’s the undisputed mixmaster. Trevor’s season can best be summed up in numbers: seven podiums, including five wins, in 12 total races over two classes.

Trevor is quick to attribute his success to the people in his corner. Steadying the ship with his experience was Pat Barnes, who, along with Jon Cornwell, made up the core of Trevor’s 2024 effort. Additional thanks go to Tim Falconer, Neil Graham, and the immaculately named Aussie Jake Skate. But perhaps the most significant change in Trevor’s approach to racing this season was the constant support and encouragement of Laura Weston, who, later this month, will become Ms. Daley.

Aside from confirming his participation in the Daytona 200 in March, Trevor is coy on his plans for 2025, but wherever and whenever he shows up, only a fool would count him out. Finally, Trevor would like to give a heartfelt thanks to everyone—from industry partners to fans—who’ve played a part in his success.
