O TYM ODCINKU
This week, J.D. and Derrick break down one of the weirdest crossover events in motorsports history - Kimi Raikkonen's foray into NASCAR in 2011.
Just four years removed from winning the Formula 1 Championship, Kimi Raikkonen was in Charlotte in a NASCAR truck. But why? The guys talked about that question, his race in an Xfinity Series car (called the Nationwide Series then), and his not so great test in a Cup car. There was also an issue with his water bottle that caused more drama than it should have.
Then, J.D. talked with F1 statistician Sean Kelly (@virtualstatman on twitter), who has worked in F1 broadcast production for nearly 20 years, about his impressions of the move, and how successful Kimi could be if he ever decided to come back to NASCAR.
