This was an interesting comparison by Haas:

Kurt Busch is very keen to drive a Formula 1 car and I know Romain is interested in the stock car so it would be interesting to work out a swap. The talent these guys have mean that they could do it, I think Kurt Busch could drive the Formula 1 well, and Romain in NASCAR. I think it might be easier for Kurt though, the thing about stockcars is that they are not very good cars, they are hard to drive, the are very heavy, the power level is the same but there is not much downforce. You need a mentality to be able to drive in those packs, the F1 guys are used to driving round by themselves and trying not to hit someone. In Cup you are almost mandated to hit someone (Haas points out that is a joke, “it is not mandatory just extremely likely!”).”
