The Justin Marks-owned team has been on a good run lately. They have something to cheer for, with Raikkonen showing promise in his first two starts. They are also looking to expand their variety of recruits further.

On being questioned about the prospects of their project, Marks, in November last year, as quoted by Autosport, said, “I’d love to do three, four, five races with that program. It’s important to bring something to the racetrack that’s unique and unprecedented, and that’s kind of where we look.”

“And I’m actually really excited about the future of that sport, of that program, because NASCAR is something everybody in the world knows about.”

Talking about the details of F1 drivers making a change, he said, “ It’s not just Formula 1. It’s what different disciplines and backgrounds and personalities and celebrity we can bring to the series.

The project definitely looks like a great initiative. And now, with more stars in the driver seat, it could affect NASCAR positively from many aspects.
