NASCAR: Watch Kimi Raikkonen Take His First Laps in a Next-Gen Cup Car

Former Finnish Formula 1 driver Kimi Raikkonen is getting back behind the wheel of a stock car for the first time in over a decade this week. He’ll be racing at the NASCAR Cup Series event in Watkins Glen with Trackhouse Racing’s Project 91 program, but before he can actively compete, he needs to get some testing done. And that’s what we’re getting a look at today.
