Racer Overview
Bruno Junqueira, born on November 4, 1976, is a Brazilian race car driver with a diverse and successful career spanning various racing disciplines. He began racing karts in Brazil and quickly ascended to Formula Three Sudamericana, where he dominated before transitioning to Formula 3000. A Formula One opportunity with Williams nearly materialized in 2000, but ultimately went to Jenson Button. Junqueira then secured the International Formula 3000 Championship that same year.
In 2001, Junqueira made his mark in the CART Championship Car series with Chip Ganassi Racing, securing a win in his 14th race. He continued his success with Newman/Haas Racing in 2003 after Ganassi's departure, achieving the series runner-up position in both 2003 and 2004. With Champ Car's unification with the Indy Racing League prior to the 2008 IndyCar Series season, Junqueira drove for Dale Coyne Racing, finishing 20th overall.
More recently, Junqueira has participated in sports car competitions, including the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. In 2019, he debuted in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo, winning his first race. While maintaining a presence in racing, Bruno Junqueira is also a real estate broker in Miami, Florida.
