Colin Braun started making a name for himself at just 17, leading Krohn Racing to the Grand-Am Rolex Series Daytona Prototype championship alongside Jorg Bergmeister, despite the latter being credited due to Braun’s age restrictions. The 2006 season showcased Braun’s talent and teamwork with race engineer Steve Newey, a veteran of CART IndyCar Series. Fast forward 18 years and Braun and Newey are reunited at Dale Coyne Racing for the 2024 IndyCar season, facing a steep learning curve with the Dallara DW12 chassis. Despite starting at a knowledge deficit, Braun and Newey have made significant progress, narrowing the gap with faster times in practice sessions at St. Petersburg. While the No. 51 car may not be at the front of the field yet, the partnership between Braun and Newey continues to improve speed and stability, setting the stage for a promising season ahead.
