.JensonButton was P28 in practice at COTA, preparing to make his NASCAR Cup debut this weekend. It was a quite the learning curve between dealing with traffic, a spotter, the sequential gearbox and even getting the car to start:
“I mean first of all ... A little bit anxious but excited at the same time," he admitted during a Friday press conference at the track."I forgot how to start the car which was interesting. So they pushed the car back, and I’m like ‘It won’t start.’ There were a few other switches I had to put up. But then it was okay.
Button also noted how unique of an experience it was for him to have a spotter guiding him throughout the session:"It’s also interesting having spotters. I’ve never had spotters before. So, I’ve got guys in my ear the whole way around telling me there’s traffic behind, there’s traffic in front – it’s quite soothing. I kind of like it. Our spotters have very soothing voices, which I think is good and it’s especially going to be good on Sunday when it’s manic out there.
