What a race. SVG came in and took all these Cup boys to school, very impressive

If the highlights are anything to go by, it took the journey of the race to figure out how to say his name, but I'm glad they got it by the end! SVG's attack and ability to pull way was unreal. The dude is fast in everything, even a rally car, but especially a high horsepower chunky beast around a slippy street circuit. That's his specialty!

I don't think they can.

Would be very interesting to see Shane compete in another NASCAR event and see if he can repeat his good performance. Being a street race in the rain, two things regular NASCAR drivers wouldn't have a ton of experience with, obviously he was going to be a strong contender seeing as V8's regularly race street courses, and in wet weather. Would be interesting to see how he goes at a speedway however. But he can certainly drive anything well.

He'd get spanked on an oval because he'd be in the opposite situation where he is vastly inexperienced compared to the rest of the field. It's a whole different style of racing compared to anything else he's done before. He did great in Chicago because the whole event was practically tailor made to benefit him and his style of racing. Come next year, he won't have such an easy time now that the field has a year to study what he did and get faster for the next time. Going to be some much stiffer competition.

Standing right on Michigan ave you can see the track and cars going by without paying and the tourist are tasting all the foods of Chicago which could also give the taste the boost it needs as well by putting in front of more eyes with NASCAR. Nascar can swap out all the venders they had for the event with the taste venders, local businesses and I’m sure they would save money so it’s a win win for both parties. But I like everything you said.

This was definitely one of the best races of the season, no doubt about it.

SVG's old Aussie V8 Supercar rival & Indycar driver, Scott McLaughlin, has to be impressed.

realy nice Finish!!

And thus, history has been made.

I had my doubts, but what a great race this turned out to be! So many great drives throughout the field, like Justin Haley hanging on to P2 and Chris Buescher grabbing a top 10... and how great was it to see Shane van Gisbergen put on the show that he did?

More nascar street race 🔥

Crazy race, wish every Nascar race was this exciting. Love the commentator constantly interfering once a car hit the tire barrier.

As a Gizzy fan, i was so happy to see Shane adapting well in stock car and winning the race without much mistakes. What an impressive performance!!! Congrats!!!

Nascar on street circuits is super dope. Though there were so many caution flags out, it just made for a better race

Amazing win SVG!!!!!

I still can’t believe Haley race as hard as he did for the lead. Considering who he was racing he did a great job. After starting 37th, I was just ready for next weekend. But that pit strategy worked out well. He led 23 laps which are his first of the year. Plus he gained 2 spots in the standings. Up to 21st. Hoping he can get a win soon.

I have been negative on NASCAR for years, but I have to admit, seeing them race in the rain and tire barriers back are the first positive things I have to say about NASCAR in a long time.

That was an awesome race to watch

NASCAR is starting to become V8 Supercars (and not just because of the winner) and I'm all for it

As an Australian I thought when I saw the start how great Marcus Ambrose would have been in these conditions. When I saw SVG moving up I thought he'd find the conditions much easier to handle than all the other NASCAR guys because they just don't get these sorts of races. We get these sorts of conditions all the time where the track is wet and dries out. Plus there's a lot of bitumen to concrete changes on this course and that makes a wet to dry transition even harder. He also races in Europe a lot so driving a Left Hand Car is nothing new to him. And so you know SVG is actually a New Zealander like Scott Dixon the Indy car driver.
