The Kimi Nascar Monster Cool Lounge

[Kriss]

We will find that out on Thursday
I hope

And all the while, Kimi is still sporting Red Bull helmets and hat insignia - even on the otherwise brown Perky Jerky hat, lol. It is cool in a nostalgic way that Red Bull continues with some kind of sponsorship because they have been there from the start. Even if that road got bumpy here or there...

[zoefrances]

thank you for all the info everyone.
looking forward to hearing how kimi got on in his debut.

Oh, there's a thunderstorm and they couldn't test anylonger.

Why does kimi get a 7-11 logo on his #87? Is this his team sponsor?

Not sure, but I was trying to look for pics of Joe Nemechek's car and I didn't see the 7-11 logo on it...

Spencer: Raikkonen test car damaged

Kimi Raikkonen tested at Virginia International Raceway, the 3.27-mile road course in Danville.

Reports came in early Tuesday afternoon that after just a half-dozen laps, the former Formula One champ ripped the nose off the front end of the No. 7 Dodge he was testing for Robby Gordon Motorsports, according to multiple sources at the track.

Raikkonen, 31, finished 15th in his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut Friday night driving a car prepared by Kyle Busch Motorsports. Raikkonen will race this weekend in the Nationwide Series race in the No. 87 Toyota.

Sorry, my English found its limits here.
I know what's to rip the nose in F1, but for a Nascar car what does it mean? That he lost the bumper à la Jari-Matti?

If that's all... well it's not that bad. Jari-Matti can do it 5 times during a rally and still do very well

The Glen would be HUGE! Great track and events. But top5? Kinda hard for Kimi.
