NASCAR Truck Series Driver Kimi Raikkonen Gets Promotion to Cup Series

Recently-retired Formula 1 driver Kimi Raikkonen is returning to racing in August. He'll be trying his hands (again) at NASCAR, specifically the Cup race happening at Watkins Glen on the 21st. The Iceman is back.

Raikkonen will be piloting a third entry—the No. 91 Chevrolet—for Trackhouse Racing, joining full-time drivers Ross Chastain and Daniel Suarez. The 2007 world champion's seat was created as a part of Trackhouse's Project 91 program, designed to expand the sport's international reach by fielding drivers not normally associated with NASCAR.
