Some of my favourite bits of the NASCAR.com article on the meet-up.

"I think I've raced one time in my career in the wet, and that was at the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona about five years ago," Stewart said.

Hamilton laughed and admitted: "We brought a bit of English weather with us."

"What amazed me is that for two guys with two completely different builds -- Lewis is a slim, athletic driver; I'm a more, uh, robust driver -- the crews just did an amazing job in the cars in having the seats and the belts where they needed to be to fit us into the cars," Stewart said. "This was truly the chance of a lifetime for me. This is one more thing I get to check off the bucket list now."

Both drivers were complimentary of the other's cars. Hamilton joked -- and yes, he clarified he was merely joking several times -- that because he hasn't been as successful lately in Formula One as he was when he won his championship in 2008, he might look to come over to NASCAR. To which Stewart immediately quipped, "I just want first dibs on trying to hire him."

Stewart offered to build a Late Model car for Hamilton if he ever wants to return to the United States to run in the Prelude to the Dream dirt race that Stewart hosts annually at Eldora Speedway track in Ohio, a track Stewart owns. Hamilton made it clear that, although he sees his professional future remaining in Formula One, he hopes he gets the opportunity to possibly participate in more such events with Stewart and perhaps other NASCAR drivers sometime in the future.

I would LOVE to see Hamilton race in a Late Model on dirt. That would be spectacular.
