Räikkönen tells about NASCAR plans


Kimi Räikkönen returned to WRC in Greece, finishing seventh in the classic Acropolis rally. On May the Finn made a short foray to North America and NASCAR, where he raced at Charlotte in the Trucks and the prestigeous Nationwide series' GPs. Regarding NASCAR, Räikkönen's option are still open.

- No decision has been made, nor do I know when to make the decision, Räikkönen commented to Sport Content.

On July Räikkönen will be testing his Citroën WRC car in Finland and prior
to that, will take some time off.

Asked what he'll be doing for holidays, Räikkönen was as taciturn as ever.

- Nothing.

His co-driver Kai Lindström said Räikkönen enjoyed the Acropolis rally.

- Sunday was OK. There were a few demanding stages, but we weren't in a hurry since we just tried to secure our position. Power Stage was fun. Even on Saturday driving in the dark was OK, though the dust was a problem, commented Lindström.

- Fortunately we get to Jyväskylä -Rally Finland next. A short break and then
a little testing, he continued.
