Raikkonen drove at Charlotte in the Perky Jerky Toyota Tundra with the Nascar Truck series back in 2011, so he isn’t coming in totally cold.

You want him to crash?

It’s a road course and they run clockwise

No, I think he’s cool.

In FR tradition, I didn’t read it was Watkins Glen.

Cross-discipline efforts are not productive from my perspective.

Muscle memory is not his friend - for so many years as an open-wheeler ar much higher speeds he will not translate well IMO.

Exactly. It’s basically parallel parking.

Danica Patrick spent more time on her back in NASCAR than she did racing.

Now I understand why the announcers kept saying she looked a little loose.
