Shane van Gisbergen’s 2024 NASCAR schedule revealed
Shane van Gisbergen, the Supercars champion, made a spectacular entry into the stock car world by winning his debut race at the Chicago Street Course. This victory made him the first driver in over 60 years to win a Cup race on their first attempt. Now, van Gisbergen is set to leave Supercars behind and take on the challenge of stock car racing in the United States. He will compete in the complete NASCAR Xfinity Series schedule, driving the No. 97 Chevrolet for Kaulig Racing. Additionally, he will participate in seven Cup races, backed by WeatherTech as Trackhouse forms a partnership with the accessory brand. WeatherTech will serve as the primary sponsor for 17 of Van Gisbergen’s Xfinity races, as well as the Cup events at COTA, Charlotte, Watkins Glen, and the fall Talladega race. Moreover, WeatherTech will also sponsor Zane Smith in the Daytona 500, as he signed a multi-year deal with Trackhouse and will compete full-time for Spire Motorsports next year.
