“Bwoah. It is a race”, Raikkonen opined about his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to drive a competitive Nascar Cup car. “I will be running it.”
Raikkonen is returning to Nascar, where he made one-off appearances in the Truck and Xfinity Series in 2011. But he’ll be forced to lean on both his experience and his teammates to compete against the sport’s best at The Glen.
“Bwoah—I did it before”, Raikkonen explained, “and now I’ll do it again. The other drivers can help me if they want. I don’t really care.”
Raikkonen—nicknamed “The Iceman” for his cool under pressure—will likely bring massive international attention to Watkins Glen—ironically a former Formula 1 track.
“Bwoah—Watkins Glen, its a track. Its in New York I think”, Raikkonen expounded. “There’s history there, I guess.”
When asked if there was anything he was looking forward to for his Nascar Cup debut, Raikkonen said “bwoah—as long as they let me have the drink”.
