I have found some weakness in my neck. When driving it is tiring to hold my head up for long periods. Does anyone have any suggestions for a brace?
 
Since you still need to turn your head to drive safely, I'd try a medium density foam soft cervical collar from Amazon or somewhere first. Make sure you measure your neck and get the right height, unless you have a typical neck and it's a one-size proposition. If it's too tall, the head turning will not be possible and if it's too short, it won't give you the support you need.
 
If you need a brace to drive it may be approaching time to quit. :-(
 
Neck brace ordered, but I also purchased a neck/head pillow like is used on an airplane. It helped when used in the house part of the day. Neck was not weakened during the day and I seemed less fatigued.
