Hamilton and Stewart in F1/NASCAR car swap

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - McLaren's Lewis Hamilton and NASCAR's double title winner Tony Stewart will swap cars for the day at the Watkins Glen circuit in upstate New York on June 14, both sides announced on Friday.

Hamilton, the 2008 F1 world champion, will drive the number 14 Chevrolet Impala while Stewart will try out the Briton's title-winning McLaren MP4-23 in an event organised by their teams' mutual sponsor Mobil.
"I spend a lot of time in race cars, but this will be the first time I've been at the wheel of a NASCAR stock car," Hamilton, who is racing this weekend at the Turkish Grand Prix, said in a statement.
"Tony and I will have some fun with the swap and make sure we put on a good show."
Stewart added: "When you've been around competitive racing for as long as I have, you really look forward to new experiences. This car swap with Lewis is definitely one of those opportunities."
