RAIKKONEN ENJOYS NASCAR DEBUT

Kimi Raikkonen is not ruling out further NASCAR Cup appearances after the 2007 Formula 1 champion had an impressive debut in the category at Watkins Glen last weekend.

In his first competitive event since retiring from F1 last year, Raikkonen in his Trackhouse Chevrolet qualified 27th in the 39-car field and ran as high as eighth in the wet-but-drying race. He was however eliminated at the start of the final stage when caught up in a multi-car crash.

When asked if he would try NASCAR again, Raikkonen said: “We’ll see. I don’t know.”

He added that he enjoyed “everything” about his debut.
