Krohn Racing has announced its driver line-up for the 2007 Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series season.  Team owner/driver Tracy Krohn will once again partner with Nic Jonnson in the No. 75 Riley Daytona Prototype while Colin Braun will be teamed with 2004 Rolex Series co-champion Max Papis in the team’s No. 76 entry.  Boris Said will join the No. 75 crew for the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona while JJ Lehto will be the third driver in the sister No. 76 car for the twice-around-the-clock January classic.

The team has also confirmed a switch from Ford to Pontiac power for the 2007 season. 

“We’re ready to get the new season underway and get back to Daytona with a great line-up of drivers,” Tracy Krohn said. “A Top Five finish last year with the new team was great, but we’re coming back to win this year.”

“We’re pleased with the drivers we’ve compiled for the year and Daytona,” said Krohn Racing Team Manager Jeff Hazell. “We’re very glad to welcome Colin and Nic back to the team, as well as adding Max as a full-time driver for the season. Boris helped us attain a victory at Watkins Glen in 2006 and we’re glad he’s joining us for the 24 Hours. Adding JJ and his endurance experience for the Rolex race is another asset for Krohn Racing.”

Jorg Bergmeister, who won the 2006 Rolex Series DP Championship driving for Krohn Racing, will not return to the team in 2007.  The German was released from his contract to pursue his quest of rejoining Porsche as a factory driver. 

Newcomer to Krohn and to Rolex Series Daytona Prototype racing is JJ Lehto.  The versatile Finn was last behind the wheel of a sports car in 2005, racing in the American Le Mans Series with a Champion Audi R8.  It will surely not take too long for Lehto to get to grips of a DP.
