Kevin Magnussen will make his NASCAR Cup Series debut for Trackhouse Racing's Project 91 entry at a US military base.
Magnussen will drive the #91 Chevrolet Camaro during the June 21st race at Naval Air Station North Island in California as part of the special one-off entry programme run by Trackhouse.
The likes of Kimi Raikkonen and Shane van Gisbergen have driven the #91 entry in the past, with van Gisbergen winning on his Cup Series debut at the Chicago Street race before a full-time programme.
Magnussen, who left F1 at the end of the 2024 season moved to sportscars, and will make his stock car racing debut later this month.
"I’m incredibly excited and honoured to have the opportunity to compete in NASCAR,” said Magnussen.
"What Justin Marks and Trackhouse have done with Project91 is unique.
"To provide drivers from outside of the NASCAR world with a chance to compete at this level. I’m proud to have this opportunity.
"I’ve already spent time with the team in North Carolina – meeting everyone, doing the seat fit, going through pit stop procedures and all the details that come with preparing for a NASCAR weekend.
"They’re an awesome group of people, incredibly dedicated, and just as excited about this debut as I am. I really can’t wait to get to San Diego and experience it all for the first time."
