Kvyat, 29, is a Russian racing driver with 110 starts and three podiums as an F1 driver between 2014 and 2020.
His best result came in the 2015 Hungarian Grand Prix, finishing second to Sebastian Vettel. The 2015 season was his best overall, driving for Red Bull and ending the year seventh in the championship standings.
Since leaving F1, he has done several races in the FIA World Endurance Championship, including the 2023 Le Mans 24 as an LMP2 driver.
He currently drives for Lamborghini Iron Lynx in the Hypercar class.
At COTA, he will drive the #07 Chevrolet Camaro for SS-GreenLight Racing.
It will not be his first NASCAR race. Kvyat made his NASCAR debut in 2022, running three Cup races with Team Hezeberg.
He finished 36th at the Indianapolis Road Course and Watkins Glen International before making his final start of the year at the Charlotte Roval where he finished 39th.
That same year, he made his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut at the Charlotte Roval. He found a bit more success there, finishing 15th for Sam Hunt Racing.
"I’m excited to get back into NASCAR. I had a lot of fun in my previous races. The competition style is very different from F1 and World Endurance," said Kvyat.
"I’m especially looking forward to my race at COTA. I’ve been there with F1, so it will be interesting to experience the track in a Camaro."
Added team owner Bobby Dotter: "I’m thrilled to have Daniil in the #07 at COTA. You can’t get much better than a former F1 driver for a road course ringer.
"Daniil is a great competitor, but he’s also a great partner for our team. He’s been in the shop every day since he got to Charlotte helping to get the car ready and getting to know the team. We’re looking forward to seeing what he does on the track."
