Default Guess Who Showed Up at The Glen Last Weekend

Yup, the master of F1 Haiku. Kimi and a posse of Camaro ZL1's ripped up the track during a two-hour lunch break during NER's DE. Even took the wife and kids out for a rip.

Clearly prepping for this weekend's upcoming NASCAR race.

Saw this and have to agree.

"My life would have been a lot easier if I had been an F1 driver in the 1970s." I was definitely born in the wrong era."

- Kimi Raikkonen

Kimi must be having fun. He just gave the longest interview I think he’s ever done. Qualified 13th with only 20 mins track time.

All things considered I thought he did fine today, and I'll bet he is having a blast.

The Xfinity race sure was entertaining- damn do they literally fly thru the bus stop!! Tomorrow should be VERY interesting! For a long time F1, indycar, and sports car guy they are slowly turning me into a tin top fan too...

My interest in this race evaporated when Kimi got pushed wide at the bus stop. Great showing by Joey Hand!

LeMans winner Mike Rockenfeller up to third, at one point.

Not a bad showing for Kimi who ran as high as 8th at one point. Bad luck being shoved aside and into the wall, a real shame. Good race going on tho.
