Colin Braun prepares for the 12 Hours of Sebring with renewed confidence after an intense period of training and competitions. The Texas driver has been busy since his last participation in the Rolex 24 At Daytona, improving his shape and adapting to different cars.
At 37 years old, Braun returns to compete in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, where he raced in St. Petersburg, a return that hadn’t happened since 2011. Despite adverse conditions that prevented practices and qualifying, he managed to finish ninth in this competition, improving his adaptation to the track.
In addition to his involvement in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship with the Acura Meyer Shank Racing team, he is preparing his schedule for the 2026 season, including several tests and competitions to stay in shape and compete at a high level.
“I feel fitter than ever after driving several cars lately,” Braun commented. He has participated in tests with both the Acura GTP and SRO cars, helping to maintain his competitiveness.
His main focus in this race is on his task with the Acura ARX-06, where he co-drives with Tom Blomqvist and Scott Dixon. Braun emphasizes the need to stay fit and adapted to the demands of such a tough race as Sebring. “We have great confidence after our performance in Daytona, even though the result was not what we expected,” he added.
Historically, Braun has achieved three class victories at Sebring, but he is seeking an overall victory to complete his endurance resume, which already includes triumphs at Daytona and other competitions. “It would be a great achievement for me and the team,” Braun stated, who will be as competitive as motivated to achieve success this weekend.
With a renewed spirit of competitiveness and solid preparation, Colin Braun hopes to shine at the 12 Hours of Sebring and add another victory to his list of successes.
