Jenson Button was encouraged by his pace despite a 'messy' race to 28th at the Indianapolis road course as the 2009 F1 world champion made his NASCAR Cup return⬇️
But despite the"disappointing result", in setting the sixth fastest race lap Button said his pace was"really good" and came away satisfied with his improvement over the weekend."The car was working well. Yesterday was frustrating just because we didn’t have any pace. Today, the guys did a really good job of finding a set-up that worked for me.
"Then pushing to the end to chase down Kevin, I locked up and went straight across the grass in Turn 1. So, had to do a stop-and-go.He added:"Just a disappointing result, I enjoyed it. Lots of overtaking, wheel-to-wheel banging as you could probably see by the car.” “It’s hard here because everyone’s on it," said Van Gisbergen, who managed to lead a lap during one of the green-flag pitstop cycles.Photo by: Matthew T.
