Trackhouse’s Project 91, Kimi Räikkönen returns at COTA
Kimi Räikkönen and Trackhouse Racing’s Project 91 entry are returning together, March 26 at Circuit of the Americas.
Räikkönen will drive Trackhouse Racing’s No. 91 NASCAR Cup Series Chevrolet, the team announced Wednesday.
The 2007 F1 World Champion raced with the Project 91 entry in August at Watkins Glen International. He finished 36th after wrecking out on Lap 44.
Räikkönen will be reunited with crew chief Darian Grubb at Circuit of the Americas. No other races have been announced for Räikkönen or the Project 91 entry but the car is slated for “six to eight races” in 2023.
Project 91 is designed to expand Trackhouse’s international reach by bringing accomplished international racers into the Cup Series.
