Biography

Braden Lons is one of the youngest drivers competing at the professional level of drifting in the United States. Originally growing up in California before later calling Oklahoma City home, Braden was introduced to driving and motorsports at an early age through his family. That early exposure sparked a passion for cars and competitive driving that quickly turned into a focused pursuit of drifting.
Through years of dedication and countless hours of seat time, Braden rapidly climbed the ranks of grassroots drifting. Known for his aggressive yet controlled driving style, he has earned multiple top qualifying positions and podium finishes in Pro Am competition. In the 2025 season, Braden delivered a dominant performance in the Full Lock Drift Pro Am series, securing Top Qualifier and First Place finishes at every round to complete a perfect season. His results earned him a Formula Drift ProSpec license, making him one of the youngest drivers in the country to reach this level. Behind the wheel of his Nissan S13 powered by a Toyota 2JZ engine and supported by MSPEK Performance, Braden continues pushing his program forward as he steps onto the national stage with the goal of competing at the highest level of drifting.
