The car swap between Jimmie Johnson and Fernando Alonso occurred Monday in Bahrain.
Some NASCAR stars took to Twitter to react to the event and they were envious of Johnson’s opportunity.

The smoke from Johnson and Alonso’s doughnuts to end the day had barely cleared before the fantasizing over more car swaps began, spurred on by SiriusXM NASCAR Radio’s “The Morning Drive.”
NASCAR drivers who came from sprint car racing - including sprint car team owners Kasey Kahne and Kyle Larson - really want to give their competitors a taste of the dirt racing life.

I’d like to see @KyleBusch @JimmieJohnson or @alo_oficial turn some laps in my sprint car. https://t.co/tKxxI3S1vJ

I’ve always wanted @JimmieJohnson and @chaseelliott to run some laps in my sprint car. Hope to eventually 😎 https://t.co/vqBrzUnoSh

And Chase Elliott, a former teammate of Kahne’s, had his interest in Kahne’s proposal piqued.
Let’s get serious about this...

Brad Sweet, who races for Kahne, noted the possibility of such an opportunity occurring is aided by their shared sponsorship.
We have a @NAPARacing sprint car just saying
