Kimi Raikkonen and Jenson Button are doing NASCAR!
The Cup Series race at COTA on 26 March will feature not one, but TWO F1
world champions
Hold the front page: both Kimi Raikkonen and Jenson Button will line up
on the NASCAR Cup Series grid at Circuit of the Americas later this
month. Because why shouldnrCOt F1 retirement be fun?
The Finn will be making his second appearance in the series in as many seasons, appearing as Trackhouse RacingrCOs Project 91 driver (thatrCOs his car above). Kimi made his debut last year at Watkins Glen where he ran
as high as eighth at one stage, before crashing out late on.
Meanwhile Button will be making his debut, securing a drive with Rick
Ware Racing Ford and with two more appearances already pencilled in for
the seriesrCO visit to ChicagorCOs street circuit and IndianapolisrCO road course later in 2023.
DonrCOt forget Button is also set to race at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in
NASCAR machinery in June, driving a modified Chevrolet Camaro Cup car
run by Hendrick Motorsports. Yep, thatrCOs the Garage 56 entry sorted.
