BUFORD, GA –April 19, 2008: Jönsson and co-driver Ricardo Zonta capture Krohn Racing's first podium finish of the 2008 Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series at the Mexico City 250 at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on Saturday, April 19. Jönsson finished third in the No. 76 Krohn Racing Pontiac Lola in the 100-lap sprint race at the 2.5-mile, 14-turn circuit in downtown Mexico City. This podium position is a great testiment to the hard work the team has put into the development of the new Proto-Auto Lola with only its second showing.

Quotes from Jonsson:

“Obviously it is fantastic to finish on the podium the second time out with the brand new Proto-Auto Lola. We’ve made a lot of progress every time the car is out. I think we have proven that now. I think we had a very good car, even in Homestead. We ran in the Top 3 as well. It’s not a big surprise. It’s a good result so thanks to the whole Krohn team and obviously Ricardo did an awesome job. It’s looking very promising for the future.

We want to congratulate Jim (Matthews) and Marc (Goossens) and Scott (Pruett) and Memo (Rojas). It is always great to come here to Mexico and the fans are fantastic. The TELMEX team is a big part of that draw.”

The Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series will compete next weekend, April 26-27, 2008, at the scenic Virginia International Raceway (VIR) for Round Four of 12 races this season.
