F1 champ JensonButton is a huge Days of Thunder fan 📽🎞🤩 Following his NASCAR debut on road courses this year, what does he think of racing on ovals like Daytona in future? Find out 👇
As long as the three races – which also include the inaugural Chicago Street Race in July and the Indianapolis Road Course in August – go well, Button says he is open to expanding his NASCAR experience to the ovals.
When asked by Motorsport.com if having Mobil and Stewart-Haas involved made his dream of racing in a future Daytona 500 more feasible, Button replied: “It is. For me, it’s not just about driving a racing car – it’s a racing car. It’s very different to what I’m used to, you get to grips with it over time, it’s the racing that’s a lot more difficult.
“I could go and drive on an oval, sure it would take time, but I’d get to grips with it – certainly a track like Daytona where it’s flat the whole way around. It’s when you put other cars into the equation and the drafting, the pushing – it’s a lot to learn. “It’s all down to performance after that, isn’t it?” said Button. “The reason I’ve got this drive is because of what I’ve done previously, and my relationship with Mobil 1, but if they don’t go well then that doesn’t mean much for my prospects of getting a drive in 2024 for a full season.
