Brumos Racing # 59 - JC France

JC France

Brumos Porsche #59

As a member of the France family, JC grew up surrounded by NASCAR and even worked at Daytona International Speedway. He did a bit of everything from mowing grass to being in the NASCAR Marketing Department, but his passion was always to drive in the 24 Hours of Daytona. JC had his first race when he was in the eighth grade in a go-kart event at Daytona International Speedway. His love of motorsports took him to motorcycle racing in short track, enduro, and motocross events. He later became State and National Weightlifting Champion in the AAU division, and even played semi-pro football.

More than ten years later, JC France decided to return to racing and joined the Skip Barber racing school. He obtained his Grand-Am license, Historic Racing license, and FIA license, then competed in the Skip Barber Racing Series as well as some historic races. JC was fortunate enough to have Hurley Haywood as an instructor while racing in some SCCA events.

In 2003, JC France fulfilled his life-long goal of racing in the Rolex 24 at Daytona after joining the Brumos Racing team. He went on to score his first-ever road racing victory at the Homestead race that year alongside Hurley Haywood, finishing 3rd overall in Driver Points for that season. That historic win marked the first overall victory ever for the newly created Daytona Prototype. With his lifelong passion for racing, JC France continues to produce results and carry on the Brumos Racing legacy.
