Colin James Braun (pronounced "brown"; born September 22, 1988) is an American professional race car driver. He has claimed the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship Prototype Challenge title twice (2014 and 2015) and currently pilots the No. 60 Meyer Shank Racing Acura ARX-06 in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. Braun was a member of the victorious squad at the 2023 24 Hours of Daytona. His racing portfolio also includes participation in NASCAR's Camping World Truck Series and Xfinity Series. He is based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Racing career
Starting his motorsport journey at age six with quarter midgets, Braun was competing internationally for factory karting teams by age eight, racing in locations such as Monaco, Spain, France, and Japan. At fourteen, he transitioned to car racing and secured championships in both the Formula Renault TR 1600 and Formula TR 2000 Pro Series.
2006–2007
At sixteen years old, Braun joined Team 16 and made his road racing debut at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, driving a Porsche 996 GT3 alongside future NASCAR competitor Brad Coleman. By seventeen, he became the youngest driver to compete in the Daytona Prototype class, driving an Essex Racing Ford Crawford. In 2006, Braun signed with Krohn Racing’s No. 75 team alongside Jörg Bergmeister and became the youngest driver to win a major North American race with a victory at the Brumos Porsche 250 in Daytona. Although he missed three events due to restrictions from the Master Settlement Agreement, he still finished fourth in the championship standings while Bergmeister secured the title. Additionally, Braun became the youngest driver to achieve a podium finish at the 24 Hours of Le Mans by placing second in class driving a Ferrari F430.
Continuing with Krohn Racing in 2007, Braun teamed up with Max Papis; despite Braun’s suspension following an incident at Watkins Glen, the team managed top-five finishes. That year also saw him sign a development contract with Roush Fenway Racing and make his stock car debut in the ARCA RE/MAX Series at Gateway International Raceway, where he finished thirteenth. He then entered NASCAR’s Camping World Truck Series behind the wheel of the No. 50 Roush Fenway Ford, running within the top twenty before a flat tire led to a crash and a 34th-place result. Braun also competed in the No. 16 3M Ford during the Sam's Town 250, finishing thirtieth. In November 2007, he was appointed full-time driver of the No. 6 Ford truck, taking over from Travis Kvapil.
2008–2011
In 2008, Braun embarked on a full-time campaign in the Camping World Truck Series driving the No. 6 Con-way Ford F-150 under crew chief Mike Beam. Over the season, he recorded three top-five finishes and eight top-10s, earning the Raybestos Rookie of the Year accolade and becoming Roush Fenway Racing’s sixth driver to win this award in the truck series. He also made five starts in the Nationwide Series that year, securing one top-five finish and two pole positions.
The following year, Braun claimed his first pole position in the Camping World Truck Series with a qualifying lap speed of 177.441 mph at Daytona International Speedway. He led for ten laps during the season opener before finishing ninth—his ninth career top-10 finish in trucks. On June 13, he achieved his only Truck Series victory at Michigan International Speedway.
Braun stepped up to full-time competition in the Nationwide Series in 2010 with Con-way sponsoring eighteen races. Midway through the season, he was replaced for events lacking sponsorship but returned when Con-way resumed backing him. Despite making 24 starts with five top-10 finishes, seven DNFs undermined his rookie campaign. At year’s end, Roush released him as their Nationwide program shifted focus toward securing sponsorship for drivers Carl Edwards, Trevor Bayne, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
In 2011, Braun participated part-time in the American Le Mans Series with Robertson Racing and briefly returned to NASCAR competition driving Billy Ballew Motorsports’ No. 51 Ford at Michigan International Speedway.
2012–2013
On January 21, 2012, Braun declared he would forgo NASCAR competition for that year and instead compete with CORE Autosport in the 2012 American Le Mans Series season. Teaming up with owner Jon Bennett, Braun played a key role in securing the ALMS Prototype Challenge Class Teams Championship for CORE. Additionally, he joined Kia Racing alongside Kinetic Motorsports, piloting the No. 38 Kia Optima in the Pirelli World Challenge GTS Class. After participating in four races and achieving two podium finishes, Braun was replaced by Mark Wilkins following a collision involving teammate Michael Galati at Miller Motorsports Park.
In 2013, Braun and Bennett entered the opening two rounds of the 2013 Rolex Sports Car Series season with Doran Racing, driving a Ford Dallara to gain familiarity with the Daytona Prototype category. Subsequently, Braun returned to CORE Autosport for the entire 2013 American Le Mans Series season, initially competing in the No. 05 Prototype Challenge car alongside Bennett before transitioning mid-season to the team’s GT program. There, he piloted the No. 06 Porsche 911 GT3 RSR with factory Porsche driver Patrick Long. This strategic shift late in the season enabled Braun to finish fifth in the PC Drivers' Championship and contributed substantially to CORE's 2013 PC Team Championship, highlighted by five podiums including two victories.
On October 9, 2013, Braun set a new speed benchmark on the oval at Daytona International Speedway driving a Rolex Sports Car Series Daytona Prototype powered by a twin-turbocharged Ford V-6 engine. He eclipsed the prior record from 1987 by reaching .
Moreover, during 2013 Braun began coaching Team CrowdStrike in the NARRA Radical Cup Series, guiding them to multiple wins and an overall championship title.
2014–present
2014
Braun rejoined CORE autosport in 2014 to compete in the newly formed United SportsCar Championship PC category alongside Bennett. The driver lineup of Braun, Bennett, James Gué, and Mark Wilkins captured victories at the season-opening Rolex 24 at Daytona and the prestigious 12 Hours of Sebring. Additional wins were achieved at both Kansas Speedway and Watkins Glen International, culminating in clinching the 2014 PC Drivers' Championship, PC Team Championship, as well as the Tequila Patrón North American Endurance Cup. Braun also secured the TOTAL Pole Award for earning the highest number of pole positions in PC class.
2015
Continuing their dominant performance, Braun and Bennett once again claimed both the PC Driver Championship and CORE’s PC Team Championship titles.
2016
Braun partnered with Bennett in IMSA's PC division throughout 2016, securing wins at Sebring, Laguna Seca, and Canadian Tire Motorsports Park along with two runner-up finishes at Detroit and Road America. That year also marked Braun’s debut in Global Rallycross (GRC) competition with CORE autosport.
2017
Following IMSA’s discontinuation of the PC class, Braun transitioned to the GTD category piloting a Porsche GT3R for CORE autosport alongside Bennett. He additionally returned to compete in GRC Lites events.
2018
CORE autosport advanced into IMSA’s Prototype division fielding an LMP2-spec Oreca 07 chassis. Braun and Bennett began their campaign with a second-place finish at the Rolex 24, followed by victories at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park and Road America as well as podiums at Watkins Glen and Laguna Seca. Braun established new track records at both Watkins Glen and CTMP. As the sole privateer team competing for overall honors, they narrowly missed winning the IMSA Championship by four points.
In parallel, Braun collaborated with cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike Racing and CEO George Kurtz to contest Pirelli World Challenge SprintX races driving an Audi R8.
2019
CORE autosport upgraded from LMP2 to IMSA’s top-tier DPi class with a Nissan Onroak DPi car driven by Braun and Bennett. They secured fourth place at the Rolex 24. Mid-season, Braun set a new IMSA track record at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. With Bennett announcing his retirement mid-year, Braun began exploring alternative racing opportunities.
CrowdStrike partnered with DXDT Racing for GT World Challenge America; Braun and Kurtz competed together in a Mercedes-AMG GT3, achieving two podium finishes.
2020
Braun joined DragonSpeed’s LMP2 program for the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, helping deliver a consecutive LMP2 class victory. He subsequently signed with Era Motorsports for three endurance events. CORE autosport announced its return to IMSA competition in the newly introduced LMP3 category running a Ligier JS P320 shared by Bennett and Braun.
Continuing his GT3 efforts with CrowdStrike Racing alongside Kurtz, Braun amassed eight podiums including three wins. The duo triumphed at the Intercontinental GT Challenge’s Indianapolis 8-Hour event partnering with Ben Keating. Additionally, Braun made his debut appearance at the Total 24 Hours of Spa competing for SPS Automotive Performance.
2021
CORE autosport campaigned IMSA’s LMP3 class featuring Braun as professional driver paired with amateur Jon Bennett; endurance events also included George Kurtz and Matt McMurry. The team won the 12 Hours of Sebring—marking Braun and Bennett’s third victory there—and added another triumph at Road America. Separately, Braun made a one-off GTD start driving a Ferrari 488 GT3 for Scuderia Corsa.
Braun continued racing in GT World Challenge America alongside Kurtz for DXDT Racing’s Mercedes-AMG GT3 program, securing four podiums including wins at Circuit of the Americas and Virginia International Raceway.
2022
Braun returned to IMSA LMP3 competition with CORE autosport alongside Bennett and Kurtz for endurance rounds. The team achieved five podium finishes including victories at Mid-Ohio and Canadian Tire Motorsports Park—their fifth win at CTMP—and ultimately clinched the IMSA LMP3 championship, representing Braun’s third IMSA title overall.
In GT3 competition, Braun rejoined CrowdStrike Racing partnered with Riley Motorsports. Sharing driving duties with Kurtz in car No. 04, they recorded three victories beginning at NOLA Motorsports Park followed by wins at Virginia International Raceway and Watkins Glen. The season concluded triumphantly with a win at the 25 Hours of Thunderhill alongside teammates Kurtz, Matt McMurry, and Felipe Fraga.
In November 2022, Jon Bennett announced that CORE autosport would cease operations. Subsequently, Braun signed with Meyer Shank Racing (MSR) to compete full-time in their Acura LMDh program during the 2023 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season alongside Tom Blomqvist. MSR had captured the 2022 IMSA DPi championship prior to entering IMSA’s hybrid-powered GTP era.
2023
Braun made his MSR debut during Roar Before the Rolex 24 testing sessions where he posted fastest laps across multiple runs driving the Acura ARX-06 prototype. MSR secured pole position for the Rolex 24 at Daytona with co-driver Tom Blomqvist qualifying fastest.
At the milestone 61st running of the Rolex 24—the inaugural event of IMSA's new GTP era—MSR’s No. 60 Acura ARX-06 driven by Braun, Blomqvist, Helio Castroneves, and Simon Pagenaud claimed victory by over four seconds. This marked Braun’s fourth class win at Rolex 24 events as well as his first overall victory after previous successes in PC (2014), LMP2 (2020), and Pro-Am endurance categories (2018).
2024
In the year 2024, Braun made his entry into the IndyCar Series competing with Dale Coyne Racing at the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg as well as participating in the Thermal Club $1 Million Challenge, a non-championship event.
