Kimi Raikkonen will be make his NASCAR debut this year with brand new team ICE1 Racing, according to a Finnish newspaper.
Raikkonen told one of the country's largest dailies, Turun Sanomat, that he will continue to race in the World Rally Championships for another eight rallies before making the leap to NASCAR this summer.
"I have been following it for a long time... Obviously, it will be very challenging and great fun for me," he told the paper.
Like all NASCAR rookies, he will start racing in the World Camping Truck series before expanding to the Sprint Cup Series.
Former Formula One World Champion Raikkonen left the sport in 2009 to race in the WRC last year.
In NASCAR, Raikkonen will team up with Foster Gillett, whose family owns other sports franchises as well.

Foster Gillett is the kiss of death in that deal. After what he and his father did to Evernham and Petty he'll be lucky to get anyone to work for or with them. Kimi needs to ditch Gillett or he won't have a pot in which to piss.
Yeah, but he got his payback (before the fact?) on the Liverpool FC deal

Kimi to DW:
"Daryl, exactly what language is boggitty, booggitty? Is that your real hair color? Should I pull the wheel down real hard with both hands on the left side, like Dale Jr?"

One of my favourite on-air exchanges was between Juan Pablo Montoya and DW. It went like this:
DW: "Juan, how do you say Boogety Boogety Boogety in Spanish?"
JPM: "I don't know... how do you say it in English?"
Burn!
