The NASCAR Series will see the return of two former Formula 1 drivers, Daniil Kvyat and Kamui Kobayashi. Both drivers, who currently compete in the World Rally Championship, will be making their comeback to the world of stock car racing. Fans from different genres are eager to see their performance in the American series.
Daniil Kvyat, a Russian driver with extensive experience in Formula 1, will be participating in the Xfinity Series, which is a step below the pinnacle of NASCAR. He will be driving for the SS Green Light Racing team. On the other hand, Kamui Kobayashi, a Japanese driver known for his podium position in his home race in 2012, will be seeking success in the Cup Series with the 23XI Racing team.
Although both drivers have previously raced in NASCAR, with Kvyat making his debut in 2022 in Indy, their presence at COTA this year is generating a lot of excitement. They will be competing for top positions in their respective series.
Since leaving Formula 1, Daniil Kvyat has explored various motorsport classes around the world. He even competed as a Le Mans driver in the LMP2 section last year. However, he is excited to return to the NASCAR series and hopes to make a lasting impression with his driving skills. When asked about his reaction to returning to NASCAR, Kvyat expressed his excitement and mentioned that he had a lot of fun in his previous races, even if the results were not exceptional. He sees these experiences as valuable learning opportunities.
This year, Kvyat will be driving the Chevy No.7, a change from his previous stints with Toyota. He is ready to face the challenges at COTA and will certainly be one of the highlights in the Xfinity field.
