BUFORD, GA –June 7, 2008: Jönsson completes round 6 of 14 in the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series competition. The Sahlen's Six Hours of the Glen race at the historic 3.4 mile Watkins Glen International. Jönsson's co-driver Ricardo Zonta qualified the No. 76 Krohn Racing Pontiac Lola and the duo finished 10th overall in the 45 car field. Jönsson led a single lap, lap 108, before being called in for a pit stop.

Quotes from Jonsson:

“All the guys did a fantastic job after the incident we had yesterday in qualifying (Ricardo Zonta went off into the tire wall at Turn 8).", said Jonsson. "They rebuilt the car overnight and the car was obviously very quick. The car started from the back and we worked our way up. We were in the top three or four when I got in. I kept it there in the top three or four and even led a lap. We had a very good, quick, steady pace. The car worked perfectly fine mechanically. I think we had a podium car again. We had the speed but unfortunately were caught out by a yellow. We had actually decided to pit that same lap that the yellow came out. We missed it by about 10 seconds. If the yellow would have come out 10 seconds later, we would have been on pit lane and the race would have looked completely different. But we had to come in with about 20 minutes to go to top off and that dropped us from second down to tenth. It just wasn’t enough time to work our way back up. Unfortunately, we can’t seem to be able to catch a break. We have a car that has the speed now. The guys have done a fantastic job both at Lola and back home in the shop. It just has to happen sooner or later."

Jönsson, Tracy Krohn and van de Poele left the track immediately after the race to hop a private plane to fly to Le Mans, France for next week’s 24 Hours of Le Mans race. The trio will drive the No. 83 Risi-Krohn Ferrari 430GT in the GT2 class in an attempt to defend or better their second place class finish last year.
