Bob Varsha posted something interesting on Twitter this afternoon. There was almost another F-1/NASCAR driver swap. In another Tweet he said that this was around 1990 but it was cancelled because of a sponsor conflict involving motor oil companies.



The thought of Earnhardt driving an F-1 car is interesting, to say the least.

I like the idea of Nige in a stock car. Maybe they could have swapped moustaches instead?
