Grand-Am: Krohn Racing withdraws from Montreal event over Lola issue

Krohn Racing today has withdrawn their entry of the No. 76 car of Ricardo Zonta and Nic Jönsson from the forthcoming Montreal Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series event.

Throughout 2009 Krohn Racing has continued without any technical assistance from Lola to improve the performance of the car and compete in all rounds of the Grand–Am Championship achieving victories and fastest laps, most recently at the last event at Watkins Glen.

Krohn Racing is a co owner of Proto-Auto LLC, an Official Constructor of a Daytona Prototype chassis.

Tracy Krohn:  "Regrettably Lola cars, also shareholders of Proto-Auto, have raised issues within Proto-Auto that they have chosen to pursue through their lawyers."

"In these circumstances I do not wish to continue using the outstanding efforts of my team staff and drivers and our extensive team resources, to race a car presently badged as a Lola."

"It is my expectation that Krohn Racing will return to the Grand-Am Championship as soon as possible subject to the timing and outcome of the aforementioned matter, meanwhile Krohn Racing will continue permitted testing."
