Kevin Magnussen has ruled ou🌟t appearing in the Rolex 24 sports car race at Daytona International Speedway in January following speculation of a possible entry with Action Express Racing.

Haas driver Magnussen was linked with♛ a drive in the 24-hou🎀r classic that would see him join Formula 1 peers Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll on the grid, racing in the Prototype class.

Despite expressing a desire to enter sports car races such as Le Mans in the past and even testing Porsche's LMP1 car back in 2015, he would not be entering the 2018 ⛦Rolex 24.

"There have been talks with a team, but for a variety of reasons, there was not a deal,꧑" Magnussen said.

"It would be good another time."

Magnussen h𝄹as previously said he would like to enter a sports car race in the future with his father, Jan, who is a factory Corvette driver in the GTLM cla🍃ss of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

Magnussen Sr. will race at 🐼Le Mans next year with Corvette, but his son ruled out an entry to the race despite it not clashing with a grand prix in June.
