After seven-time Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson and two-time Formula 1 world champion Fernando Alonso swapped rides at Bahrain International Circuit on Monday, Kasey Kahne offered an idea of his own while responding to a question posted by SiriusXM NASCAR Radio host Pete Pistone. Kahne owns a World of Outlaws sprint car team and said he wants to give Johnson and fellow Hendrick Motorsports teammate Chase Elliott a chance to climb into the seat. Elliott caught wind of Kahne's proposal and seems to be intrigued. https://twitter.com/chaseelliott/status/1067090533955325958 https://twitter.com/kaseykahne/status/1067121999405858816 Even one of Kahne's drivers, Brad Sweet, chimed in to bring up a valid point that could help make it a reality. https://twitter.com/BradSweet49/status/1067098203760209920 But according to Kyle Larson, there might be one person opposed to the idea -- team owner Rick Hendrick. https://twitter.com/KyleLarsonRacin/status/1067123974583263232 What do you say, guys?
