Kimi and Gio stay for 2021
#11

Kimi Raikkonen is coming back to the scene of his last F1 Grand Prix triumph for his latest NASCAR Cup series bid later this month.

The 43-year-old Iceman will race PROJECT91's Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for Trackhouse Racing at Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Texas on March 26. It is his second foray into NASCAR action after making his debut at Watkins Glen last year.

He explained: “I had a fantastic time in NASCAR. There was a lot to learn in a very short amount of time, but everyone was very helpful, the competition was a big challenge.

"This time I get to race on a track I am familiar with so there won’t be as steep of a learning curve. I want to have fun, but also do as well as we can.”

Kimi also hopes that he can blaze a trail and act as the catalyst for more European drivers into NASCAR seats.
