Canada’s Rue Frontenac said driver and team owner “Kyle Busch has never met Kimi Raikkonen” but will “entrust one of his excellent trucks” to the Finn “in exchange for a US $100,000 check at every race”. Rue Frontenac said Raikkonen’s plan is to “pay for some truck races to raise interest and get a sponsorship budget for Nationwide and possibly the (premier) Sprint Cup”.
His contract with Busch is reportedly for three to five races. “Raikkonen shopped around for a drive with a number of teams and we won the war,” Busch is quoted as saying. Raikkonen tested the truck at the Gresham half-mile on Monday.(Facebook – Ice 1 Racin)
