Jenson Button will make his NASCAR debut at Circuit of the Americas.
The 2009 Formula 1 champion will race three races in 2023 in the No. 15 car. Button will race on March 26 at COTA, July 2 at the Chicago street circuit and Aug. 13 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.
“Obviously, racing a Cup car is very different than what I’m used to," Button said in a statement."It’s a lot heavier with a lot less power and, basically, no downforce. It’s got a sequential gearbox where you need to blip the throttle, so there’s lots of stuff to learn in a very short space of time.
While Button will be driving for Rick Ware Racing, he’ll be in Stewart-Haas Racing cars. SHR has a sponsorship deal with Mobil 1 and is a much better team than RWR. But thanks to NASCAR’s four-car rule, SHR can’t field a fifth entry for Button.
