Despite retiring from Formula 1 in 2016, Jenson Button cannot get enough of racing. Before you get your hopes too high, no, he is not making a comeback in F1. The British racer spent some quality time with his family, watching a NASCAR race. Turns out, the former world champion got quite the VIP treatment, getting inside access. As his son met the likes of William Byron, fans couldn’t help but blush over his cuteness.

NASCAR is currently in its 75th year and looking to broaden its horizons to give fans a bang for their buck. Resultantly, NASCAR’s Garage 56 will compete in 24 hours of Le Mans this year, something Button has shown interest in. Taking the hint, Jimmie Johnson recently said that he will talk Button into it, and turns out that maybe those talks happened as they met recently during the race at LA Coliseum.

Though we speculate that the man who’s known for his party life and lavish lifestyle had some serious discussion behind the scenes, the internet world definitely had its eyes on something else. All eyes were on Button’s son as he took over the internet. The moments he had there were so wholesome, and the pictures shared by Jenson Button on his Instagram account say it all.
