F1 driver, Kimi Raikkonen loved his two-race stint in NASCAR so much, he’d like to try it again someday. Raikkonen raced in two NASCAR events at Charlotte Motor Speedway in 2011. He finished 27th in a Nationwide Series race and 15th in a Camping World Truck Series race for Kyle Busch Motorsports. ‘I hope one day (to come back),’ he said Thursday in Austin, where he and his Ferrari team are preparing for Sunday’s United States Grand Prix. ‘Obviously I didn’t know how it is, so when I came to U.S. to do that, I was very pleasantly surprised by how nice and how fun it was. It’s not easy, like any popular sport, but I really enjoyed the time. Hopefully I can do more of those and hopefully in the future ‘ some Sprint Cup. We’ll see what happens.’ Of course, Raikkonen still has some years left in F1. Any NASCAR racing would only come after his F1 career was complete. This time, though, Raikkonen said he’d ‘like to have a good proper run at it.’(USA Today)(10-31-2014)
