2024 Fantasy Outlook
The former Formula 1 star made three NASCAR Cup Series starts in 2023, all for Rick Ware Racing. Button's efforts were focused on the road and street circuits with the performance fetching a reasonable 22.3 average finish across those three efforts. His 2024 plans have not been announced, but we wouldn't be surprised to see Button make some more part-time efforts on Cup Series road courses.
