NASCAR and F1 / IndyCar are two different beasts.
Danica Patrick was pretty good and rising in IndyCar, but did poorly after transitioning to NASCAR.

That is so true. Look also to JPM, he was ok but never a threat to win at most tracks.

It's like semi-retirement.
He already knows how to go fast. Now he only has to turn LEFT, shift only once or twice the whole race, and brake only on pit road...

I’m waiting for geriatric NASCAR, where the minimum age is 75 and they’re all driving Coupe DeVilles, Oldsmobiles, or Chrysler Newports.
Now, that would be entertaining.

Danica Patrick spent more time on her back in NASCAR than she did racing.

I’m trying to remember who was the last driver from another form of racing to come to NASCAR and find success right away. I think it was Tony Stewart.
Anyone have a more recent example?

Sounds more like Kimi is just going to run this one road race. Just being paid for some PR work.
Starting a complete circuit when over 40 does’t seem likely.

He'll have to turn right occasionally at Watkins Glen.

Red farmer kept racing until he was in his 70’s. He just dropped down in divisions.
