Shane van Gisbergen explains his impressive turnaround in NASCAR.
Shane van Gisbergen felt like he was finishing “50th” in NASCAR Cup Series races earlier this year, but a mid-season turnaround led to three wins in five races. The Supercars champion struggled at the start, adapting to oval racing as he only reached the top 10 once in 15 races. His breakthrough victory in Mexico City was followed by wins in Chicago and Sonoma, enhancing his playoff chances. While he acknowledges the need for improvement on ovals, van Gisbergen sees progress with the Trackhouse team over the past two months. Surviving late restarts and fending off Chase Briscoe at Sonoma, he emphasized the challenging yet respectful racing among competitors.
