Sonoma Silenced: Shane van Gisbergen Torches the Field for Back-to-Back NASCAR Wins

At this point, it’s not just dominance — it’s a full-blown road course takeover.

Shane van Gisbergen, the Kiwi sensation who’s turned the NASCAR world upside down, put on another masterclass Sunday, storming to victory at the Toyota/Save Mart 350 and claiming his third Cup Series win of the season — and his second straight in just seven days.

He didn’t just win. He crushed it.

From the drop of the green flag, van Gisbergen was in a class of his own, slicing through the twisting hills of Sonoma like he had the track tattooed on his brain. The car was hooked up, the rhythm was flawless, and the aggression? Clinical.

For the rest of the grid, it was a long afternoon chasing smoke.

SVG’s execution was surgical — outbraking rivals into Turn 11, hugging the apexes in the Esses, and managing tire wear like he’d been doing this in NASCAR for a decade. This wasn’t just a great race — it was a reminder that on any road course, Shane van Gisbergen is the man to beat.

What makes it even more jaw-dropping? This is year one. A Supercars legend not just adapting to the Cup Series, but owning it every time the track twists and turns.

This win at Sonoma adds to an already electric start to his NASCAR career. Three wins. Multiple podiums. Two straight checkered flags. And with each lap, van Gisbergen is rewriting what’s possible for newcomers in the Cup Series.

The paddock is paying attention. And so is the rest of the racing world.
