Emerson Newton-John (born September 26, 1974) is an American professional racing driver. The nephew of Olivia Newton-John, he has competed and won or podiumed in numerous forms of motorsports.

Personal life

A native of Los Angeles, California, Newton-John is the son of Graham Hall and the late Rona Newton-John (died 2013), stepson of Jeff Conaway, half-brother of Fiona Goldsmith, Brett Goldsmith and Tottie Goldsmith, and the nephew of Olivia Newton-John.[1] He is named after two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Emerson Fittipaldi.[2] He is married, and has two children.{{citation needed|date=July 2017}}

Racing career

Newton-John competed in the Formula Holden Tasman Cup in 2000–2001, nearly winning his inaugural event in the series, and the Formula Holden Australian Drivers' Championship in 2001, finishing fifth, with a best result of 2nd; he also competed in the French Renault Megane Cup, and tested a Formula Three car.[2] His final Formula Holden race was on September 10, 2001; the September 11 attacks resulted in financial backing for his open-wheel career drying up, and Newton-John switched to stock cars.[2]

Newton-John made his debut in stock car racing in November 2001, competing in the ARCA Re/MAX Series at Atlanta Motor Speedway where he ran as high as 12th after starting from the back of the field. he ended up 15th.[2] In 2002, he competed in his first NASCAR event, a Craftsman Truck Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway; he finished 31st in the event,[3] following a weekend that Newton-John described as "disastrous".{{citation needed|date=July 2017}}

In 2012, Newton-John returned to professional racing, driving an open-wheel formula car for the first time in almost eleven years in a test at Iowa Speedway. Passing a refresher test, he went on to compete in the Freedom 100 Firestone Indy Lights race, driving for Tyce Carlson's Fan Force United team.[2] He was 6th fastest in practice and qualified an impressive 8th. He was involved in a multi-car incident on the fifth lap of the event,[4] and was credited with a 17th-place finish.[5] He ran again in Indy Lights later in the year at the Grand Prix of Baltimore; he crashed twice due to faulty rear suspension, first in qualifying for the event,[6] and then in the race, finishing 12th of 13 cars.[7]

In 2014, Newton-John returned to the ARCA Racing Series, driving for Carter 2 Motorsports at Madison International Speedway;[8] running as a start-and-park, he finished 23rd.[9]

Charitable work

Newton-John is the founder of the charitable organization Pink and Blue for Two, focused on breast and prostate cancer awareness.[10]
