Shane van Gisbergen signs with Trackhouse for 2024 NASCAR move
Shane van Gisbergen, an Australian driver, made a thrilling debut in the NASCAR Cup Series by winning the inaugural race at the Chicago Street Course in July. This victory marked the first time in 60 years that a driver won in their first-ever Cup start. He continued his success by finishing in the top 10 at the Indianapolis Road Course, becoming the first driver since 1978 to achieve back-to-back top 10 finishes at the start of their Cup career. Van Gisbergen made his Truck Series debut last month at IRP and finished 19th. In 2024, he will join Trackhouse Racing’s developmental program, competing in select races across all three national divisions of NASCAR. Van Gisbergen expressed his gratitude for the opportunity and is excited about the new challenge. The exact details of his 2024 schedule have not been released, but the team’s goal is to help him adapt to different types of tracks and racing styles as quickly as possible. Before his NASCAR venture, van Gisbergen still has a Supercars title fight to settle, currently trailing the championship leader by 137 points.
