At just 16, Colin made his road racing debut at one of sports car racing’s crown jewels, the Rolex 24 Hour race in Daytona. The following year, he became the youngest driver to race in the top-tier Prototype class at just 17. In 2006, Colin was the youngest driver ever to place on the podium at the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans, finishing second. In 2007, Colin transitioned to NASAR with Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing (RFK Racing) racing in the Truck and Nationwide series, securing victories – including Roush’s milestone 50^th NASCAR win at Michigan in the Truck Series – and earning Rookie-of-the-Year honors.

Colin returned to sports car racing, where his career was decorated, including victories at iconic events like the Le Mans, the Rolex 24, 12 Hours of Sebring, Petit Le Mans, and Six Hours of Watkins Glen. With a nod to his former NASCAR days, he’s credited with turning the fastest lap around the Daytona International Speedway oval at 222.971mph in the Ford Ecoboost-powered Daytona Prototype machine with Michael Shank Racing. Hand-picked by Ford, Colin’s 40.364-second lap broke Bill Elliott’s previous record, carving out another career milestone.

In 2022, Colin closed a chapter with CORE autosport as they secured two wins and the IMSA LMP3 Championship title. He joined Meyer Shank Racing in 2023, co-driving the No. 60 Acura ARX-06 in the much-anticipated GTP class with Tom Blomqvist. The pair, joined by Helio Castroneves and Simon Pagenaud, triumphed at the Rolex 24, marking Colin’s first overall win in the event, and bookended the season with a victory at Petit Le Mans, finishing third in the GTP Championship.

That same year, Colin dominated in GT World Challenge America with CrowdStrike Racing by Riley Motorsports and co-driver George Kurtz, clinching six wins and the Pro-Am Championship in the No. 04 CrowdStrike Racing/AWS GT3 car. His success extended internationally, with wins in the Le Mans LMP2 Pro-Am class and the Asian Le Mans Series, cementing his status as a versatile and accomplished racer.

Colin had an impressive 2024 season, showcasing his talent with CrowdStrike Racing in both the GT World Challenge and IMSA competition. Despite the team ceasing operations mid-season, Colin made the most of his 16 starts, which included three 24-hour races (Daytona, Le Mans, and Spa). He helped the team secure four victories and nine podiums adding to his long list of accolades. His highlights included being crowned the 2023/2024 Asian Le Mans Series Champion and winning the prestigious 2024 Spa 24 Hour Race. Colin also made his debut in the IndyCar Series, driving for Dale Coyne Racing at the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg and the non-championship Thermal Club $1 Million Challenge.

In 2025, Colin returns to Acura Meyer Shank Racing, reuniting with his former co-driver Tom Blomqvist in IMSA’s highly competitive GTP class. The duo, who previously found success together, are poised to build on their strong chemistry and aim for more victories in the No. 60 Acura ARX-06.
