Kevin Magnussen expects "intense introduction" to NASCAR in Cup debut

This Sunday at Naval Base Coronado, ex-F1 driver Kevin Magnussen is set to take on something completely different as he races a NASCAR Cup Series car for the very first time, driving the No. 91 Qualcomm Chevrolet for Trackhouse Racing.

In addition to racing in Formula 1 for a full decade, the 33-year-old Dane has made several starts across both WEC across IMSA, and even competed in an IndyCar race during the 2021 season. But this weekend, he will join the field of 39 entries for the first-ever NASCAR Cup race on an active military base, racing around a 3.4-mile street course.
