The Krohn Racing team was formed by Tracy W. Krohn in late 2005 to campaign the 2006 Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series.

The team's inaugural race was the Rolex 24 At Daytona in January 2006 with a single car, which finished in the Top Five. Krohn Racing competed the remainder of the season as a two-car team, collecting three victories, six podium finishes, one pole position, and 14 Top Ten finishes on their way to winning the Grand-Am Prototype Drivers' Championship. They also finished second in the Prototype Team Championship.

In 2007, Krohn Racing team fielded two Pontiac Rileys and finished fourth in the Grand-Am Daytona Prototype Team Championship after collecting six podiums, nine top five, and 15 top-10 finishes, as well as two pole positions.
