This is genuinely something I never would have guessed would happen. This was a fun battle and it was fun to watch Kimi in cup. Hope he comes back again. Unfortunate end but he did great!
Unfortunately, Kimi has said in the presscon that he had no intention to run full time. But he said that he will do more part time starts next year with Trackhouse's Project 91 so definitely we'll see him on occasion....
I think if they had less races per year he could do it. Schedule is too damn long for someone that seemed very tired of all the media stuff drivers need to do.
He would've choose IndyCar if that's the case (and even then he probably going to do limited schedule anyway), and besides the man simply wants to enjoy racing on occasion without worrying about championships and all that....
Cat shows up. Doesn't know the rules. Doesn't know what line to take. Hardly put any time in the car or on the track. Puts his a$$ in the seat, qualifies super solid and gets up near top 10. In a cup car. Battling champions. Absolute fecking legend mate.
I think the battle is in the booth lol . Hard for anyone else to get a word in with Letarte in the booth . He has hardly shut up today and even interrupting everyone .
I've been a NASCAR fan as long as a f1 fan from the late 70s. This was a great moment for NASCAR to have a F1 champion running in the top ten basically stepping into the car for the first time in 10/11 years? Shows two things today - TH is a legit nascar team right out of the box freshman year - 2 - Kimi can drive anything and well. We won't see Kimi in a car full time, but you never know who might get a bug and say they want to try this Cup car thing. Most of all, like Romain has experienced in Indy, we are a different atmosphere from Europe, and all for the better. Unfortunate ending that was no fault of his own. I wanted to see him finish so badly. Nascar needs to look at the proposition Justin Marks brought to them and use it as a development and marketing tool to grow the sport. I don't doubt we'll see a race in Europe some day.
I think they already race in the UK once a year. I'd love to see Nascar go back to Japan though. Fuji Speedway seems like it'd be a hell of a track for these cars.
He was turning top ten speed laps during this race in a car he had 15 total laps of practice with…EVER… Glad to see the mutual respect between top drivers.
Every year i had a friend who had all excess passes for the NASCAR at the Glen. I would go down to pit row and check out the teams and crews. You couldnt believe how intricate the racing game is. He also was the catering manager that could basically go anywhere you wanted to go. Its a life style for the sport and the people are just great welcoming everone to join them.. I use to go to the 3 day BBQ Competition on the infeild and the food was awesome. That was 20 yrs ago and I no longer live in NY but the memories will last a life time. If you never had the opportunity to visit a road course I highly recommend you go and catch a race. You wont be sorry.
always been an f1 fan, i respected nascar, but never really thought i would enjoy it... but i was on the edge of my seat throughout this! maybe i will start watching nascar.
For a new big league driver for Nascar I have a feeling the next couple seasons are going to be a more wild ride than when Larson went into the fence coming to the flag and tore the motor out of his car.
Never would I have ever thought I would see Kimi And Chase Elliott going wheel to wheel ! My favorite F1 driver against my current favorite NASCAR driver. Crazy world
Kimi was a good choice for NASCAR , but I very want to see one time what can Max Verstappen do in this series . I think he can do the same, like Kimi, or maybe a little bit better .
I honestly think he wouldn't do as well. Gotta remember that Kimi jumped into arguably the absolute opposite of F1 in the WRC and never finished lower than 8th.
Honestly hard to say, Max is a superb F1 driver and also quite aggressive so that could work in stock car racing for sure. Kimi does have more experience in different cars so that probably helps a lot jumping into a new series. Kimi is also finnish and we finns somehow know how to drive cars fast, at least statistically we are a crazy good country in motorsports.
@@dehoedergia whole different type of aggression in nascar, would be fun to watch him rage though. max would make some good highlights but would get outclassed in dickheaded driving if he wanted to bring that energy. also why do finish people speak as if you are some collective membrane of thought/talent? weird af.
William Daly that s what you call a good clean battle to the check ered flag congratulations 👏🎉👍😊 to the winner 🏆 and their pitcrew and crew chief and sponsor s
A guy who was, for nearly 20 seasons one of only 20 drivers in the world good enough to compete in F1, was a Formula One WORLD frickin' CHAMPION, won 21 Grands Prix and nearly a hundred podiums, and held his own for a season or two in World Rally and people seem SURPRISED he can race-for-position in NASCAR?
As someone that otherwise doesn't know Kimi from Adam, I was very impressed at his skill when I heard he had so little seat time. Made that overweight block of steel and carbon his little toy. I can see why the F1 world holds him in such high regard
@@morgfarm1 Welcome to F1! Try to catch the F1 events, i.e. the practices (Friday-Sat), Quali (Sat) and race (Sun) at the iconic Spa Belgium race this weekend. Highlights of all will definitely be posted free on YT and on the Formula 1 official site! Watching those free got me hooked. And now I subscribe to F1 TV Pro (Internet).

A lot of the hesitation comes from the fact that NASCAR rules do not allow for much practice at all. Kimi's last time in a stock car was a decade ago and the cars were in a lower series and completely different. For him to adapt so quickly with little prep time was very impressive and proof of his skill and the package that Trackhouse provided him.
Strange they feel okay using his first name, like they are old friends. Not going to help a one of these low level national series drivers ever get into F1.
NASCAR needs Kimi like they needed to get rid of Rockingham, North Wilkesboro, drop a Darlington race, add Chicagoland, add a Kansas race, run Bristol on dirt, add any race in California. So tell me what else NASCAR needs to further race to the bottom of the car racing world.
Kimi went around Ty Gibbs like he was standing still. And only had about 30 laps in the car… Ty has some growing to do, but he will be fine. And he throws a mean left hook.
This announcers talk out of their butts we all know the only reason he was running in top 10 because the leader come in the pits Jeff burton It’s annoying
NASCAR is a completely different beast- stock cars are vastly different to F1 cars. Racing is also different, so it's extremely difficult to adapt here.
@@legolite45 on behalf of Kimi's fans I want to apologise for this man's behavior. Also I'm not sure if he even knows what he is talking about as Montoya never got back to F1 after Nascar, because he was sick of it at that point

Nascar has given him his Gloves, His Drink and his Steering Wheel.
Now Kimi is set.
Kimi can have all the drink he wants in the NASCAR
Facts. 😄
I was at the races this weekend and Gragson was yelling at the 91 crew after qualy for Xfinity. Wanted to make sure Kimi had his drink. 😂
Epic response. . . LOL
"Where's my f@#& DRINK??!"
🤣😆
Heard the head set was working also and they could hear him.
This is genuinely something I never would have guessed would happen. This was a fun battle and it was fun to watch Kimi in cup. Hope he comes back again. Unfortunate end but he did great!
I will follow Kimi to whatever wheels he's driving! This man is raw talent and a pleasure to watch race absolutely anything!
NASCAR would likely regain a lot of viewers if Kimi raced full time next year.
Unfortunately, Kimi has said in the presscon that he had no intention to run full time.
But he said that he will do more part time starts next year with Trackhouse's Project 91 so definitely we'll see him on occasion....
Would be cool to see him in the 500
I think if they had less races per year he could do it. Schedule is too damn long for someone that seemed very tired of all the media stuff drivers need to do.
I don't think Kimi whants to move to America with his family
He would've choose IndyCar if that's the case (and even then he probably going to do limited schedule anyway), and besides the man simply wants to enjoy racing on occasion without worrying about championships and all that....
Glad to see Kimi in a competitive spot again!

This cars are also manual geared right?
@@lUnderdogl yes, a sequential
He knows the lines, all professionals do. But he didn't know the rules in F1 either.
He literally had 2 months of practice lol
What a battle between two of the best!

I didn't see Larson in this

@@billgibson100 Elliott is better

@@nickthaskater Top 5 would have been a stretch, but top 10 was more than realistic.
It's funny seeing everyone extend track limits except Kimi at certain spots
All those years of track limit enforcement in F1 has tattooed itself into Kimi.
@@izzdin6228 Absolutely correct. Kimi will go according to the regulations of the sport and he'll extend the limits if told to do so.

Hope Kimi races that NASCAR next year because he would have his drink gloves and steering wheel

Funny to see the f1 dna in kimi, well really just racing dna by keeping it within track limits when there are virtually none
The front of his car really jumped up in the air. I musta blinked but did see what he ran over.
Please come back Kimi!

NASCAR is exciting when they are not just going in circles. way to go Kimi!! I bet the race feels slow to him.
No shot. Because the cars are way different than f1.
sad about the finish. i had him for T10 in my bets and it seems it would have hit if not for the crash
Kimi was running F1 when Chase was .....nevermind.

NASCAR is a completely different beast- stock cars are vastly different to F1 cars. Racing is also different, so it's extremely difficult to adapt here.
