For my next interview, I had had the honor to talk with Colin Braun. He is currently driving for the Core Autosport American Le Mans Series team. He formerly drove in the Camping World Truck Series and the Nationwide Series. Here is my interview with him.
Q: Imagine yourself not as a driver but as a race fan, if you were to do a ride along with any driver, other than yourself, who would you chose, which track and why?
Colin Braun: Whew – that is hard to imagine. I suppose I would like to ride along in a Formula 1 car at Monaco. But then again us race drivers aren’t good at not being in control…
Q: If you could have a track named after you, what kind of track would it be and where would it be located?
Colin Braun: It would have to be a fast, road course named after me. I love fast sweeping corners so that’s what my track would be about. I would probably have it in Texas since that’s where I’m from.
Q: What is your most memorable race?
Colin Braun: Well as of recent the race in Laguna Seca in the LMPC ALMS Core Autorsport car – it was just a great race and really nice victory!
Q: Who would you consider to be NASCAR’s bad boy? Golden boy?
Colin Braun: This is to tough of a question to answer… I take the 5th!
Q: What advice would you give someone who wanted to be a race car driver?
Colin Braun: Always work hard and never give up! You can achieve anything you set your mind on… Keep at it!
