Magnussen could race at Daytona in 2019

United States - Kevin Magnussen looks set to be the next driver to expand his horizons beyond the Formula 1 paddock.

According to BT newspaper, the Dane came very close to joining Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll this year at Daytona.

Plans at an advanced stage

Gary Nelson of the Action Express team said: "We were quite far advanced with the plans but in the end we just ran out of time.

"There were many loose ends: we have our partners, Haas has theirs and Kevin has his.  It had to all fit together and it was simply not possible this year.

"We don't yet know ours or Kevin's plans for 2019, but we really want to have him in our car," Nelson added.
