Hi Nic Jonsson here! 

This past week and weekend has been a nerve wracking one with a lot of racing going on but for me, it was just as a spectator in front of the TV.  This is the first time in many years I did not go to Lime Rock Park for the traditional Memorial Day weekend race there.  I've been participating there every year since 1999 in either the ALMS, SPEED World Challenge or KONI Challenge.  This year, I had to keep myself updated via internet and many phone calls to see how my Kinetic Motorsports team was doing in the GS race.  It's a real challenge being at home and not knowing first hand what's going on. After our 2^nd and 8^th place finishes in Laguna last weekend, our hopes were pretty high going into the Lime Rock event.  Everything started out really well for our team running in the top 3 during practice but unfortunately one of our drivers got sick before the race.  This meant the other driver had to do majority of the race and we did not have a driver change until close to end of the race.  You never want to change drivers at your last stop since this always takes longer and you lose a lot of track position but in this case we didn't have much choice.  Luckily, we made it with all cars finishing in one piece and with a top 10 finish. 

In addition, I also kept a very close eye on the Indy 500 race from Indianapolis Motor Speedway since my brother, Matt Jonsson, is the Crew Chief for one of the cars on Penske's team.  The race ended the way it should, in my opinion...with a Penske Racing car on top of the podium. All the Indy teams are away from home fine tuning the cars for the entire month of May prepping for the big Indy 500 race.  So coming home with a good result always makes life a little more sweeter.
