Kimi To NASCAR?

Montoya won't be happy. ;-)

"Jon Noble
Just leaving Melbourne and hear news Kimi Raikkonen is going NASCAR racing. Story on AUTOSPORT soon"

At least there are no trees for him to hit in NASCAR.

Yeah I heard he's going to NASCAR next year.

See $$$$$$$$ still drives him

arknor · 29 Mar 2011 at 15:48

maybe he likes the redkneck lifestyle , burgers , ice cream , pickup trucks and rabit shooting.

sleeping with your sister/mother and all that

waste of time, you have to be good to go to Nascar. He's just out of a job, all he wants is money.

Or it could be that he will earn way more money then in F1

I remember watching a programme about Nascar a while ago and it went through a few F1 drivers that had tried their hand at it

Most of them failed miserably

Would be interesting to see him make it into the Sprint Cup series to go up against his old team-mate Juan Montoya....

A few years in the states and he's unlikely to ever fit into an F1 car again.

Just to inject a small amount of balance here, but I seem to recall Jeff Gordon - a NASCAR driver since the start of the '90s - fitting into the Williams FW24 for a demonstration run at Indianapolis without a single issue

I saw that, was surprised the G-force didn't tear his neck

He has his first race in May with the Kyle Busch truck team.
