WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) – NASCAR Sprint Cup star Tony Stewart and 2008 Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamiltion are swapping race cars at Watkins Glen International.
The Mobil 1 Car Swap will take place June 14 at the famed road course in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. Hamilton will take laps in Stewart’s No. 14 Chevrolet and Stewart will climb into the cockpit of team Vodafone’s McLaren Mercedes MP4-23.
Each will drive the long course at The Glen, which is 3.4 miles through 11 turns. NASCAR uses the 2.4-mile short course, which doesn’t include the famed Boot section.
The Glen became world-renowned by hosting the United States Grand Prix from 1961-1980 and has been home to NASCAR Sprint Cup races since 1986. This season marks the 50th anniversary of The Glen’s inaugural F1 race.
