Biography

A champion sports car racer that has competed with Team Penske over the course of five seasons, Dane Cameron returns to Porsche Penske Motorsport (PPM) in 2024, with a new focus in familiar surroundings.

Cameron, a three-time IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar champion, will make his return to full-time IMSA competition this season driving the No. 7 Porsche 963 alongside fellow multi-time series champion Felipe Nasr. Cameron, the only current American factory Porsche driver, competed full-time in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) in 2023, as he shared driving duties with veteran sports car racers Michael Christensen and Frederic Makowiecki in the No. 5 Porsche 963.

A native of Glen Ellen, Calif., Cameron has always felt at home at a racetrack as his father, Rick Cameron, is a race engineer with over 40 years of experience in motorsports. For several years, the two competed against each other in the IMSA Prototype class, with the elder Cameron serving as the lead engineer for other series teams. Growing up with a race-winning engineer as a father, Cameron has always brought a unique knowledge of car setups and how to maximize performance to his skill set as one of the world's top sports car drivers.

Cameron's racing career began in karting and advanced to cars in 2005 when he produced six race victories and won the Formula Russell Series championship as a rookie. In 2006, he finished as runner-up in the F2000 National Championship and earned a Team USA Scholarship to participate in the Formula Palmer Audi Autumn Trophy in Europe, which he won.
