Colin Braun

Truck Series

Colin Braun will make a big impact in time.  Globally known as a road racer with experience in the Daytona 24 hour race, he will be a star

Not sure how well he will do on ovals but with the talent he has, Im sure he will adapt quickly.  Running in some ARCA races will be good for him as Roush suppliers strong cars in that series.

Where Colin fits in the next 5 years is questionable but after that he should contend for championships.  Would not be suprised to see his Cup debut at Infineon or Watkins Glen within the next few years.

This kid is special and everyone should keep notes on him now

Colin is one of the rising stars in American Motorsports.  At 17 years old he has already won 2 professional car racing championships.  He started racing at age 6 in Quarter Midgets, went kart racing at 8, and competed in Italy, Monaco, France, and Japan for factory kart teams all before he was 14.  At 14 years old Colin transitioned to cars winning back to back championships in the Formula Renault 1600 and then in a Formula 2000 in the Formula TR series.  At 16 Colin was part of the Team 16 squad and drove in the Rolex 24 hours of Daytona in a Porsche 996 GT3 Cup car with 2 other 16 year old drivers.  That year he became the youngest Daytona prototype driver in history driving the Essex racing Crawford/ Ford.  At only 17 years 9 months, and 7 days old, Colin became the youngest driver in North America to win a major league motor race when he won the Brumos 250 at Daytona International Speedway driving for Krohn Racing in the Grand Am Rolex Daytona Prototype series.  Colin went on to win a 2nd race at Barber Motorsports Park, and take pole position at that same race ending up 4th in the 2006 Rolex drivers points.  This despite missing 3 races due to tobacco age restrictions.
