NASCAR | Kimi Raikkonen will compete in the NASCAR Cup Series
"It will be a great challenge," said the 2007 world champion
Here comes a nice one for all Kimi Raikkonen fans. The Finn is back racing. He won't do it in Formula 1, which was finally waved off last year after twenty years, but he will be a protagonist in NASCAR where he will drive the Chevrolet Camaro no. 91 Team Trackhouse at Watkins Glen International.
It is not the first time that the world champion participates in NASCAR events, it has already happened on two other occasions. Both in 2011: the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
"I didn't want to go back to racing, but Justin (Marks, owner of Team Trackhouse together with pop star Pitbull. ed.) he came to my home in Switzerland and convinced me how important it was to put together a first-rate program – said Raikkonen. It will be fun, but it's something I will take very seriously. I know how competitive the NASCAR Cup Series is and it will be a great challenge".
