Patrick Brian Long (born July 28, 1981) is a professional American race car driver, distinguished as one of only 18 Porsche factory drivers worldwide and the sole American to hold this title.

Sports car racing

Hailing from Thousand Oaks, California, Long's motorsport journey began with karting and open-wheel competitions before he participated in the inaugural Red Bull Formula 1 Driver Search. This opportunity paved the way for Porsche to sign him as a Junior driver in 2003, eventually elevating him to the status of Factory driver. His career highlights include class victories at prestigious endurance races such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans (2005, 2007), Rolex 24 At Daytona (2009), Petit Le Mans (2005–2007), and the Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring (2005).

Long has earned three American Le Mans Series GT2/GT titles (2005, 2009, 2010) and secured two Pirelli World Challenge Driver's Championships (2011, 2017). He contributed to the Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid's first international triumph at the 2010 1000 km of Zhuhai. Between 2006 and 2008, he competed with Penske Racing piloting a Porsche RS Spyder, highlighted by an LMP2 class victory and an overall runner-up finish at the 2008 Petit Le Mans.

In 2015, Long led Dempsey-Proton Racing in the FIA World Endurance Championship alongside Marco Seefried and Patrick Dempsey, achieving a runner-up result at Le Mans and securing Dempsey’s inaugural professional win in GTE-AM at Fuji.

During 2016, he simultaneously contested the FIA WEC with Abu Dhabi-Proton Racing in the #88 Porsche 911 RSR while completing a full season in the Pirelli World Challenge driving for Wright Motorsports.

Long also participated twice in the Australian V8 Supercar Series: in 2010 with Garry Rogers Motorsport Fujitsu Racing, finishing fourth and eleventh, and in 2011 with Walkinshaw Bundaberg Racing, placing fifth and seventeenth.

NASCAR

Patrick has raced across multiple NASCAR divisions, including a single Sprint Cup appearance at Watkins Glen in 2012 where brake failure resulted in a 42nd-place finish. In the Nationwide Series, he competed once at Road America in 2010, finishing fourteenth after leading two laps behind the wheel of a D'Hondt Humphrey Motorsports Toyota. Between 2009 and 2010, he made five starts in the K&N Pro Series East, achieving a best result of fifth at Tri-County Motor Speedway. Notably, he led the entire Watkins Glen race in 2009 until being overtaken on the final corner. Two weeks later in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West, Long initially crossed first at Infineon Raceway but was penalized for contact with leader Joey Logano, dropping him to last on the lead lap; he had started from pole position and ultimately finished twenty-third. Later that season, he recorded a victory at Utah Motorsports Campus. In 2010, Long won again in the NASCAR West series at Portland International Raceway and led another race at Utah before suffering a flat tire. His oval track appearances included events at Irwindale Speedway, Iowa Speedway, and Phoenix International Raceway, with finishes ranging from fourth to eighteenth place. He attempted to enter the 2012 K&N Pro Series West race at Utah but withdrew due to engine troubles. Additionally, Long earned pole position and won his only start in the ARCA Racing Series in 2009 at New Jersey Motorsports Park, leading for 46 of the race’s 67 laps after a close contest with Parker Kligerman.

Personal life

His younger sibling, Kevin "Spanky" Long, pursues a career as a professional skateboarder.
