Triple NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson s🤡ays he is keen to secure more outings in the Grand Am Rolex Series after securing a third top-ten finish in the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

The Hendrick Motorsports ace had taken podium finishes in two of his previous outings in ﷽the round-the-clock event - finishing second for Howard-Boss Motorsports in 2005 and repeating the feat last year with GAINSCO Racing, the team he rejoined for the ☂2009 running of the race.

The team looked well placed in the early stages before the #99 Pontiac Riley ran into problems in the fourth hour when Johnson was held at pit exit and suffered a gearbox issue, which cost the team six laps. Another issue later in the race dropped the caꦦr well out of contention for victory, but a battling drive saw the car eventually take the flag in seventh place.

Having secured another top-ten finish, Johnson admitted he had enjoyed the experience again and was keen to take in more races if possible i🔥n the future.

"The Grand Am Series is something special that everybody is focused on a♍nd the truth is that it is some of the best road course racing I have ever seen," he said. "You have got a nice balance in the car where you can lean on somebody and no🦂t hook wheels and flip each other over or rip wheels off your car.

"Grand Am has done a great job building cars that are durable and can run door-to-door and pu⭕t on a great show. It was nice to be out here and I hope to race here a little♔ more."
