"Anxious" Button "forgot how to start the car" in first NASCAR practice

The 2009 Formula 1 world champion is making his NASCAR debut this weekend aboard the #15 Rick Ware Racing Ford Mustang, with technical support from Stewart-Haas Racing.

In the only 50-minute practice session this weekend, he ran 13 total laps and logged the 28th quickest time out of 39 entries. He was 1.770s slower than pace-setter Tyler Reddick's 23XI Racing Toyota, but ahead of 2007 F1 champion Kimi Raikkonen by 0.505s on the Finn's second outing with the Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet. The Finn was 32nd overall.
