Just a quick copy and paste.

The pieces to the Kimi Raikkonen Nationwide Series puzzle are coming together. FOXSports.com has learned that the car is being assembled by Kyle Busch Motorsports but the owner points will come from Joe Nemechek's #87 entry, registered under NEMCO Motorsports, which is currently 19th in the NASCAR Nationwide Series points standings. The crew will come from NEMCO with additional support from KBM.

So looks certain. Will be interesting to see how he goes.

So I watched the race where Kimi debuted. I think he drove very nicely. Maybe he was a bit too careful in traffic and sometimes he looked like he's gonna lost it when he was driving out of traffic. In the last stages of the race he drove someone really high when he was trying to be on the low line... But I think that can happen to anyone in there. If you consider it was his 1st race ever in oval and particulally in Charlotte(!), which is pretty tricky and fast oval, it was a great result. I would have been pleased even if he'd finished at all.

TROUTMAN, NC - NASCAR driver Kyle Busch was cited for careless and reckless driving after deputies said they clocked him doing nearly three times the posted speed limit Tuesday afternoon.

Iredell County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Chris Stone, a member of the Aggressive Criminal Enforcement (ACE) team, stopped a yellow sports car after he clocked it doing 128 mph in a 45 mph zone on Perth Road near Judas Road, between Troutman and Mooresville.

Busch, driver of the No. 18 Mars/Interstate Batteries Toyota Camry, was cited for careless and reckless driving and speeding, said Lt. Troy Miller, who supervises the ACE team for the sheriff’s office.

Kimi tested a Robby Gordon Cup car at VIR. Maybe on the way to a Sonoma/Glen ride?

Officials at Joe Gibbs Racing said they were aware of Busch's arrest and would be releasing a statement.

What a dumbass. Hell Kyle, I'm sure you've got more than enough money to take that thing to a track to test drive it.

The fact these guys are idols to a lot of people who enjoy cars and driving means if anything they should have given him a heavier penalty than the average Joe. Hell of a message this sends kids.

Raikkonen tests Cup car at VIR; and wrecks: Kimi Raikkonen spent Tuesday testing a Sprint Cup car for Robby Gordon Motorsports at Virginia International Raceway. "I called Robby because Kimi wanted to test a Cup car," said Todd Hirschfeld, who is managing Raikkonen's racing effort in the United States. "It worked out because Robby had another obligation. So Kimi is taking care of the car today, and Robby will show up tomorrow. And it's up to Kimi whether he stays tomorrow, heads back to Finland or stays to run the Nationwide race Saturday at Charlotte". Raikkonen has reportedly committed to running Saturday's Nationwide event, but Hirschfeld says otherwise. "I've seen the story where he's committed to run the Nationwide race at Charlotte, but he has not told me personally whether he'll do it or not," Hirschfeld said. "There's a car and team ready to go, but Kimi himself has not yet committed. He's taking this whole experience day by day. I was told before I started working with him, but this is the truth -- Kimi does what Kimi wants to do."(ESPN)

AND Kimi Raikkonen tested at Virginia International Raceway, the 3.27-mile road course in Danville, on Tuesday. And, according to multiple sources at the track, it took only a half-dozen laps for the former Formula One champ to rip the nose off the front end of the #7 Dodge he was testing for Robby Gordon Motorsports.(FoxSports)(5-25-2011)

In my opinion... personal conduct off the race track should be taken into effect with your job on the track. Kind of like the NFL, you get suspended for violationg the league's personal conduct policy. What I am saying here is... Kyle's on probation... he violated it, suspend him for the Coke 600!
