NOVEMBER
The idea for The Car Swap had its origins when Fernando and I met at the Rolex 24 Hours in Daytona and became a reality in Bahrain in November 2018.
The idea was simple: Alonso would drive my 2018 Hendrick Motorsports NASCAR, and I would get to run in a 2013 McLaren MP4-28 -- one of the last of F1's V-8 screamers.
Jimmie Johnson and Fernando Alonso swapped their race cars at the Bahrain International Circuit in December 2018. Tune in for a behind-the-scenes journey of Johnson's trip to the Middle East and the car swap between these two legends.
This was my first time driving an open-wheel car. What a fantastic day and one I will never forget!
