More On Raikkonen

UPDATE 2: Kimi Raikkonen will make his Nationwide Series debut Saturday at Charlotte Motor Speedway in a car fielded by Joe Nemechek and Kyle Busch. Raikkonen's name was on the official entry list released Monday in the #87 under the ownership of NEMCO Motorsports run by Nemechek, who formed an alliance with Busch to make the deal work. Nemechek, who also fields Toyotas, agreed to let Raikkonen drive his car that is guaranteed a spot in the field ranked 19th in owner's points. There is also speculation Raikkonen will make his Sprint Cup debut next month at the road course [Infineon Raceway] in Sonoma, CA.(ESPN)(5-24-2011)

Hopefully he does better on the oval than he did at VIR today (wadded up one of Robby gordon's cars during testing).

Probably took a turn too fast. The track gets very narrow in a few spots, I rmemeber Jeff Gordon saying "I never want to test here again"

Yes it's similar to sonoma, but it's just slick and narrow. And the walls hug the track, which is abnormal for a track it's size, i would think. No runoff room, except turn 1.

I thought he did a pretty good job in the truck race the other night.
