2009 Formula 1 World Champion Jenson Button achieved success across multiple racing disciplines, including Formula 1, Super GT, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the NASCAR Cup Series. He even drove a NASCAR stock car at Le Mans.
Last year, Button announced his retirement following the 2025 World Endurance Championship finale at the 8 Hours of Bahrain. However, his passion for racing remains strong. He currently participates in historic and vintage car events and recently expressed interest in further competition.
During the Rolex 24 broadcast on Peacock, Marty Snider and Steve Letarte questioned Button about his retirement from professional motorsports.
“Well you just talked about NASCAR going too San Diego,” Button responded with a smile. “My local race now (Button lives in the Los Angeles area). Has anyone got a Truck that wants me to drive?”
He further stated: “If it’s got a wheel and gearstick, I’m there … So yeah, I would love to do a Truck race if it’s possible.”
NASCAR plans to race all three of its national divisions at Naval Base Coronado on June 19-21, utilizing a new street course on an active military base in san Diego.
