Chris Atkinson in WRC, Ryan Briscoe in IRL and Marcus Marshall in Champ Cars.
of course. Shannon O'Brien recently won the NZ Formula Ford championship, does that count? Neil Cunningham races the British GT series. David Brabham in selected ALMS events. |

Actually there is also Sam Zavaglia and Warren McIlveen racing at the World Superkart Challenge at Laguna Seca this weekend (support race for MotoGP with Rainey, Lawson & Schwantz racing them too). Last year Warren finished second, and Sam should have been second ahead of Warren but for a last lap mechanical DNF.
Admittedly Warren isn't young, but Sam is and they are in the top ten fastest Superkarters in the world. |

There is also Wade Cunningham (admittedly from New Zealand), who is leading the IRL Infiniti Pro Series.
