My Name is Austin McCusker and I am a 19-year-old from Glen Head, New York. I am a young aspiring racing car driving with the ultimate goal of becoming a full-time GT or Prototype driver.

Yes – Sting Ray is my real name – I believe I was born to drive! Since I was three, I have aspired to be a racecar driver.

Blessed to have the opportunity to compete against the world’s best in the 2018 Road to Indy Pro Mazda Championship.
