BUFORD, GA –Jan. 31, 2008: Nic Jonsson and the team at Krohn Racing has reason to be proud of their results in the 2008 running of the Rolex 24 At Daytona endurance race. The two-car team finished fourth and seventh in the 46th running of the twice-around-the-clock historic enduro by racing smart and steady in the 24-hour race known for its unpredictable results.

The No. 76 Krohn Racing Pontiac Riley of Nic Jönsson, and Daytona rookie teammates Ricardo Zonta and Darren Turner, finished fourth overall, after starting from the 15th position at 1:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, January 26th. They faced some minor challenges from Florida’s unpredictable weather, windscreen visibility, a minor brake change issue and body damage from an on-track altercations. They kept their pace, stayed out of trouble and didn’t take undo risks – all part of the overall game plan for the team. It certainly paid off when Jönsson proudly brought the car to the checkered just seven laps down from the winners.

Jonsson's previous highest Daytona Krohn racing finish was fifth in the 2006 Rolex 24 race. Krohn Racing is now in its third full season in the Daytona Prototype class of the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series.

Quotes from Jonsson:

“The guys have done a fantastic job.", said Jonsson. "The engineers, with David (Brown) and Jeff Braun, the crew and the whole team were outstanding. We came down here at the test with the Lolas and then changed to the Rileys, so we basically lost the three-days of testing for preparation for the race. I don’t know how David does it, but he always pulls something out of a hat.

" I had a really good car throughout the race.", Jonsson continued. "In the middle of the night when it was raining, we were the quickest car out there. We were really quick in the dry as well. Unfortunately, we have some mishaps when we had to change brakes. The left front caliper, I think, got stuck, but we only lost about 40 seconds. But that’s what it’s all about. It’s definitely great for the championship points. I think we’re going to be very strong for the championship. I can’t wait to get in the Lola. That’s going to be a lot of fun.”

Jonsson's next race is the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) infamous season opener, the 56th Annual Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring held March 12 - 15 at Sebring International Raceway. Jonsson will be joining Krohn Racing again, in conjunction with Risi Competizione,to race the Ferrari GT430 in four ALMS races as well as the 24 Heures du Mans in June.
