Overview
- Trackhouse announced on June 3 that Kevin Magnussen will drive the No. 91 Qualcomm Chevrolet in the Project 91 entry at Naval Base Coronado on June 21.
- Magnussen brings wide international experience from 185 Formula 1 starts and current World Endurance Championship racing but must adapt to heavier NASCAR Cup cars and street‑course conditions.
- Phil Surgen will serve as Magnussen’s crew chief and the driver has already spent time with the team in North Carolina for seat fit, pit‑stop practice and race prep.
- Qualcomm is the primary sponsor and will supply AI and data tools to assist real‑time race decisions, framing the entry as both a marketing and technology demonstration.
- Project 91 was created to import global stars into NASCAR and has previously featured Kimi Räikkönen, Shane van Gisbergen and Hélio Castroneves, a history that fuels expectations for crossover impact and new fan interest.
