NASCAR allowed Raikkonen and fellow series debutant Mike Rockenfeller, who will race for Spire Motorsports in the event, to drive an Action Express-run Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 test car as part of its Select Driver Orientation program at VIRginia International Raceway.
The 2007 Formula 1 world champion will drive for Trackhouse in the road course race at Watkins Glen on August 21 as a teammate to Daniel Suarez and Ross Chastain. The Finn’s appearance is part of Trackhouse’s Project 91 initiative which is looking to expand NASCAR’s reach by introducing talented international racing drivers to the Cup Series.
