Shane van Gisbergen dominated the NASCAR Cup race in Mexico City, winning with a massive 16-second lead over Christopher Bell, marking the biggest victory margin since 2009.
Despite excelling on road courses, van Gisbergen acknowledges the importance of performing well on oval tracks, as they comprise the majority of races in the Cup series.
He emphasizes his commitment to improving on ovals to justify his position as a Cup Series driver and looks forward to making the playoffs and celebrating victories with his team at Trackhouse Racing.
While van Gisbergen had a slow start on ovals this season, recent races have shown significant progress, with three top 20 finishes in the last four races and a pole position in the All-Star Open at North Wilkesboro.
His determination to continue improving on ovals is evident, highlighted by his positive experiences with his team and past strong showings, such as finishing 12th at Martinsville and 14th in the Coca-Cola 600 this year.
