.JensonButton fought through heat exhaustion to finish 18th in his NASCAR Cup debut, calling the day an 'emotional rollercoaster.'
Jenson Button made his NASCAR Cup Series debut Sunday at the Circuit of the Americas, calling the experience an"emotional rollercoaster."'s NASCAR Cup debut was far from easy, but in a race that went into triple overtime and saw numerous incidents, he was elated just to make it to the checkered flag.
"We got a little bit unlucky with the safety car because it was just two laps before our window. Pitted, then the next stint was mayhem. We also made a couple of changes that just didn’t work. Big oversteer – went from the car feeling great to really difficult to drive." "Finished 18th after almost stopping because I had heat exhaustion," he explained."It was so hot, I don’t have a fan in my seat which really didn’t help me too much. It was so hot, I thought I was going to faint in the car. So, I stopped twice for a minute. They put ice on me, gave me loads of water, and I went back out. I was so close to getting out of the car because I thought I was going to faint. I must’ve drank eight nine bottles of water during the race.
