According to Motorsport.com, Johnson said how Button was stunned after his first testing of the car at Daytona. He said, “It was great watching Jenson climb out of the car for the first time. He was speechless for a while and his eyes were so big. He’s like, ‘How can it have so much power and so little grip?”
Jimmie continued to explain how that’s how it works in NASCAR. He stated, “And I said, ‘Welcome to NASCAR. That’s what this is about.’ It’s a fun group of people to be around.” Johnson and Button will move on to Sebring up next for some more testing with the Garage 56 guys.
