The many surprise driver cameos of the 2023 NASCAR Cup season
“The event was chaotic, to put it mildly. “It was an emotional rollercoaster” for Button, who nearly quit mid-race due to heat exhaustion. He even had contact with his fellow F1 driver Fernando Alonso, but managed to soldier on and finish the race in 12th place. Raikkonen, on the other hand, had a solid performance and finished in 8th place. Both drivers proved that they can adapt to stock car racing and showcased their skills on the NASCAR track.
Another notable driver who made a surprise appearance in NASCAR was rallycross champion Scott Speed. Speed raced in the Xfinity Series race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, driving for Jordan Anderson Racing. Despite not having much experience in stock cars, Speed showed great pace and finished the race in 11th place.
It is clear that the addition of these international racing stars has brought new excitement and diversity to NASCAR. With their unique backgrounds and skills, they have proved that they can compete and excel in the world of stock car racing. Their presence has attracted new fans and brought a fresh energy to the sport.”
