Kimi Raikkonen completed his first NASCAR Next Gen car laps at VIRginia International Raceway today. The 2007 F1 champion is set to make his Cup Series debut for TeamTrackhouse at Watkins Glen next weekend. ⬇️
The 2007 Formula 1 world champion will drive for Trackhouse Racing in the road course race at Watkins Glen on 21 August, driving a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 alongside team-mates Daniel Suarez and Ross Chastain.
The Finn has history in NASCAR, taking part in one second-tier Xfinity Series race, and one Truck Series event in 2011 with Kyle Busch Motorsports during his sabbatical from F1. The NASCAR rulebook for testing of a Next Gen car was amended on June 15 to allow for a ‘Select Driver Orientation Test’ for drivers who are entered for a Cup race within the following 90 days. Its series of provisos included limited data logging and setup changes on the day.
