Ex-Formula 1 world champion Jenson Button will make his Nascar debut later this month.
The 2009 world champion quit F1 at the end of the 2016 season and has raced in various formats since.
The 43-year-old has agreed a three-race deal in the Nascar Cup Series starting at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, on March 26. In addition, he will compete at the Chicago Street Race on July 2 and at Indianapolis on August 13.
After agreeing the deal, Button said: “The most important thing for me is to enjoy it. I love that challenge of driving new things. Every time an ex-F1 driver gets in a stock car these days, they struggle initially.
“It takes a while for them to get up to speed, so I don’t expect to be right at the front straight away. But I’m not just doing it for fun in some one-off.
“I want to be competitive and I know that to be competitive it’s going to take a bit of time. That’s why doing these three races works very well this season.”
