Dennis Mikael Alexander "Alx" Danielsson{{cite web |url=https://www.hitta.se/alexander+danielsson/storvreta/person/ydgjsw5Xvm |title=Alexander Danielsson |author= |website=hitta.se|access-date=23 May 2024}} (born 1 April 1981) is a Swedish racing driver and the 2006 champion of the Formula Renault 3.5 Series. He currently competes in the Swedish V8 Thundercar Series and as a fill-in driver on the Monster Jam circuit.

Career

Image:Alx Danielsson 2006 Donington.jpg, 2006.]]

Danielsson's career started in karting in 1998, where he stayed until 1999 before moving up to Formula Ford. In 2004 Danielsson progressed to Formula Renault V6 in Europe and Asia before moving onto the Formula Renault 3.5 Series in Europe.

In 2006, Danielsson competed in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series for the British team Comtec Racing and doing exceptionally well. After suffering two hard crashes that could have ended his season at the Spa circuit in Belgium, he managed to take a double win at Donington on 9 and 10 September 2006. He was then able to follow up the victories with a third straight victory at Le Mans on 30 September and a fourth victory in Barcelona on 28 October. The following day he clinched the FR3.5 Series title via a fifth place in the last race of the season.

In May 2012, Danielsson Motorsport announced that they would be shutting down their race team. This allowed Danielsson to put full focus on his own racing career.

In 2013, Danielsson competed in the Swedish V8 Thundercar Series, and in March he attempted to make his NASCAR debut in NASCAR K&N Pro Series East at Bristol Motor Speedway, but he failed to qualify.{{cite web|url=https://www.racing-reference.info/drivdet/danieal01/2013/E|title=Alx Danielsson - 2013 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East Results|work=Racing-Reference|accessdate=29 April 2020}} So in August Danielsson made his NASCAR debut in America, driving No. 73 Chevrolet Camaro for Creation-Cope Racing in the Nationwide Series at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.{{cite web|url=http://www.creationcope.com/news/story/Alx-Danielsson-prepares-for-his-NNS-debut|title=Alx Danielsson prepares for his NNS debut|date=29 July 2013|publisher=Creation-Cope Racing|accessdate=4 August 2013|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130804105223/http://www.creationcope.com/news/story/Alx-Danielsson-prepares-for-his-NNS-debut|archive-date=4 August 2013|url-status=dead}}

Danielsson also competed in ARCA Racing Series between 2014 and 2016.

Danielsson has also driven monster trucks in Monster Jam.{{cite web|url=https://www.monsterjam.com/nl-BE/drivers/alx-danielsson|title= Alx Danielsson Monster Jam statistics' |date=28 September 2017|publisher=Monster Jam|accessdate=29 April 2020|language=nl}} In 2017, he won his first Racing and Freestyle title.

Formula 1

As a prize for winning the 2006 World Series by Renault, Danielsson was given a Formula 1 test. On 18 May 2007, he drove the 2006 Renault R26 on the Stowe configuration of the Silverstone circuit. He did 50 laps on the 31 sec configuration. A few months later in August, he did demo runs with the same car at the Race Salon in Rotterdam.
