July 3, 2008- Jönsson and the Krohn Racing team showed that their hard work and persistence with the development of the new Proto-Auto Lola is paying off, as the team celebrated a podium finish in the Brumos Porsche 250 at Daytona International Speedway. Round eighth of the 2008 Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series was the second podium finish for the Krohn team, both third-place finishes.

Nic Jönsson and Ricardo Zonta drove their No. 76 Krohn Racing Pontiac Riley from the 13th starting position to third place.
Quotes from Jönsson:

“It was a fantastic result for us. Obviously we were struggling all day a little bit with the set-up on the car. We basically turned the car upside down in practice and qualifying. Finally we sat down after qualifying and decided to go with the traditional set-up for this car that we learned so far this year. That’s what we did, even though we lost a little bit on straight line. The engineering crew – Simon, Jeff and David – pulled it off again for us. We were able to stay out of trouble out there and just plug away. It just gets better. It’s nice to be on the podium again with the Proto-Auto Lola. There’s more to come.”

Jönsson's next race will be in Grand-Am Rolex Series' round 9 of 14 in the Porsche 250 at Barber Motorsports Park on Sunday, July 20. Visit Race Schedule to view Nic's busy 2008 schedule. For more information, please see www.grand-am.com  and www.krohnracing.net
