My Story:

From Aspirations to Achievements

My name is Omar Khan, and my journey in the world of motorsports has been a remarkable story of passion, determination, and the pursuit of a dream. It all began in 2006 when I first got behind the wheel in High-Performance Driving Events (HPDE) on tracks across the United States. These early experiences ignited my love for racing and set the stage for my future.

In 2019, I took a significant step in my racing career by graduating from the renowned Bertil Roo's School of Racing, a five-day program that equipped me with the skills to obtain a SCCA Full Competition License. With this new level of expertise, I ventured into instructing at HPDE events, where I had the privilege of sharing my knowledge and passion for high-performance driving with numerous students.

The pivotal year of 2020 marked my transition into professional racing. In February, I showcased my competitive spirit in the SCCA Hoosier Super Tour at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, TX. Qualifying in 3rd place and finishing 4th, I demonstrated my potential as a top contender for podium finishes.

Shortly thereafter, I signed with K-Hill Motorsports for the 2020 FRP F1600 Championship series. The season was a significant debut for my professional racing career, culminating in an 8th-place finish overall out of 39 drivers after 21 races. The knowledge and skills gained during this season were invaluable, setting the stage for even greater achievements.

In 2021, I continued my journey in the FRP F1600 Championship with increasingly better results, only to have my season cut short due to a lack of funding. Despite the challenges, my unwavering determination and passion for racing remain stronger than ever.

Importantly, I am proud to represent my American Muslim identity and culture in the world of motorsports. It's a facet of my identity that I hold dear and wish to share, not as a focus, but as an integral part of my journey. It's a reminder that diversity and inclusivity can thrive on the racetrack, transcending boundaries of faith, culture, and background.

The past two seasons have not only defined my dedication to the sport but have also fueled my ambition. I am now set on the next chapter of my career, competing in the F2000 Championship. This journey is not just about personal achievement; it represents a breakthrough for diversity in motorsports and serves as an inspiration to underprivileged minorities aspiring to make their mark in the world of professional racing.

My ultimate goal is to reach IndyCar, the highest level of open-wheel racing in the U.S., and I believe this journey will not only fulfill my dream but also pave the way for a more inclusive and diverse motorsports industry.
