Formula One driver Kevin Magnussen to race IMSA series for Chip Ganassi Racing in 2021

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Formula One driver Kevin Magnussen will move to the IMSA sports car series in 2021 driving for Chip Ganassi Racing.

The Danish driver will be paired with Renger van der Zande in a Cadillac DPi-V.R, the team said Thursday. Ganassi is returning to the sports car series after a one-year hiatus.

Magnussen currently competes for Haas in F1 but the 28-year-old was not retained for next season. Magnussen won the Formula Renault 3.5 Series in 2016 and was developed in McLaren's Young Driver Program. He is the son of former F1 driver Jan Magnussen.
