Miller Motorsports Park - First time Grand-Am race winner, the No. 91 Riley-Matthews Pontiac Riley of Jim Matthews, Marc Goossens and Ryan Hunter-Reay, were the seventh different winner of the 2007 season when they stepped to the top of the podium today at Miller. The No. 75 Krohn Racing Pontiac Riley of Colin Braun and Nic Jönsson made another podium appearance after finishing third, the team’s sixth podium of the season.

Colin Braun driver, No. 75 Krohn Racing Riley:

“The race went really well. We struggled at the start of the weekend, but the guys did a great job getting the car set-up. Because we qualified in 11^th position, we had a bit of a struggle coming up from that position, but we got up front and managed to hang around there all day.

In my first stint, the No. 39 car ran out of gas right in front of me. I ran into the back of him and messed up the nose heavily. We never had a chance to make a repair or change the nose, so we had to drive around with the damage. It definitely affected our straight-line speed and performance.

I’m extremely happy for the third-place finish for the Krohn Racing team, although I wish it could have been a victory. Everyone worked really hard. They certainly deserve a win and I was sorry we couldn’t get it done today. I am excited about the future for Krohn Racing because I think they are going to be strong. I’m looking forward to watching them next year as they become the team to beat.”

Tracy W. Krohn, team owner/driver, No. 76 Krohn Racing Riley:

Nic and Colin drove the wheels off the car, especially because they had some push all day long. I am very excited about the podium finish for the No. 75 car. I got to see a little of that action, particularly when Jan and Colin were battling the whole time. It was fun to watch.”

Nic Jönsson, driver, No. 76 Krohn Racing Riley:

“It was a nice finish of the season to be on the podium. I wish we could have won it, but the podium is nice. It was a pretty rough day in struggling to get the car right. We made some adjustments and everyone did a great job and got the car where it needed to be. Colin did a great job all day. It was nice for the team to end the season with a podium finish and it gives us something to build on for next year.”
