Shane van Gisbergen is rewriting the rules of NASCAR with his extraordinary road course prowess, leaving fans and experts alike in awe. The Kiwi driver recently secured his third win of the season at Sonoma, starting from pole position and achieving a feat comparable to the legendary Jeff Gordon.
Van Gisbergen’s remarkable performance has not gone unnoticed, with his crew chief, Stephen Doran, showering him with praise. Doran expressed his admiration for the driver, stating, “He’s something NASCAR has never seen on road courses.” The duo’s success at Trackhouse Racing has been nothing short of spectacular, with van Gisbergen clinching three victories in just five starts, including a historic win in Mexico City.
In a recent interview, van Gisbergen reflected on his rapid adaptation to NASCAR’s oval tracks, acknowledging the learning curve he is currently navigating. Despite his background in road course racing, the driver remains focused on improving his performance on traditional tracks, aiming for consistent top finishes.
Looking ahead, van Gisbergen is gearing up for the AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 400 at Dover Motor Speedway, where fans eagerly anticipate his next display of skill and determination. NASCAR enthusiasts can catch the action on July 20 at 2:00 p.m. ET, as the Kiwi driver continues to make waves in the world of stock car racing.
