Shane van Gisbergen is NASCAR's next superstar: 'Lightning in a bottle'

Спорт

Is Shane van Gisbergen on track to be NASCAR's next international superstar? SVG scored his second win of the 2024 season at Sonoma Raceway, outdriving Austin Hill in the closing laps for the victory.
In this clip from PRN's Fast Talk, Doug Rice explains why he believes Shane van Gisbergen is on the verge of becoming a NASCAR folk hero and could be exactly what stock car racing needs. Doug says the SVG effect was apparent during the race at Sonoma, with fans cheering him on more than the rest of the field combined during the Xfinity Series event.
With a Cup Series win under his belt and the opportunity to win several more Xfinity races this year, is it only a matter of time until SVG is winning on ovals? The V8 Supercars champion has shown to enjoy American stock car racing and is a quick learner.
Plus, Doug Rice says SVG has something many NASCAR newcomers don't have: Appeal to adults. While many stock car racers enter the sport as teenagers, SVG's extensive background and racing career give him a leg up when it comes to building a loyal fanbase around the world. #NASCAR #shanevangisbergen

    From NZ here, SVG has made me watch NASCAR again, first time since Jeff Gordon used to race. There is a huge amount of Motorsport talent in NZ and Au (just look at Indy, F1 and other series too). SVG is a beast of a driver, fast, very adaptable and as you said a man’s man. The mountain in front of him is huge, but he’s capable of climbing it. Also, love his drifting and burnout celebrations. Doing it behind Austin Hill was the ultimate troll 😂

    I completely agree with Martin. As another Kiwi, I'm now watching the Xfinity series because of SVG being there. SVG will squeeze as much out of the equipment as possible, so make sure you give him truly competitive gear. You can't be into win, if the engine is even 10HP down. Currently, I have no interest in the Cup series; until or unless SVG is in it. I used to watch every single race, sometimes even live. Jeff Gordon was my go-to guy as well. I'm similar with IRL... only watching because McLaughlin's there. I always kept track of Dixon's results (Literally NZ's *BEST*EVER* driving export) but I did not watch every race like I do now.

    Watching NASCAR from Oz for the first time in years. Look at SVG’s background. He is genuinely a racer’s racer. He raced something in almost every discipline nearly every weekend in either Oz or NZ. When there were no full size cars to race he raced RC cars. Have a look at the footage of SVG in the Commodore at Eastern Creek (Sydney Motorsports Park) in a Supercar on wets on a drying track and he is flat out downhill on the main straight with two wheels on the grass trying to keep the tires cool. One lap he is in the grass on the left, next lap in the grass on the right! You guys have no idea what’s coming for you. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!

    For these poor drivers on road courses, it doesn't matter how much tape you watch. He doesn't have a move, he has them all. Supercars guys would know a move was coming and would try to cover but his car control means he can pull out of it and switch in the braking area and get you the other side on the way out. Exceptional talent. Even with some small contact that would get fans salty he would win the drivers driver vote at end of year so you knew how much the other drivers relished the challenge. Always closer to the wall and looking for any small detail of the surface.. or off it to give the smallest advantage. . That's the stuff that will help him on the ovals. It will be interesting to watch the second run through the ovals to see what he has learned.

    It's just great to see SVG being himself and loving the racing again. How many times has he said it's "boring" jut racing out front without any challengers. His favourite race memories (aside from Bathurst and Pukekohe) would be the battles he had downunder with Koztecki, Waters, McLauchlin, Moztert, Whincup etc. He's always had the talent and racing brain to win but you certainly need the right equipment under you to be able to use those talents to get the results you deserve. It's so great to see him serving his apprenticeship as he learns his trade on the ovals. The future looks bright and I have to say it's so great to be able to watch him almost every weekend!

    The quality of drivers coming out of the OZ series is due to a long history of road racing that goes back a long way.. the current championship can trace its roots back to the late 60s, with a lot of the engineering side also being successful and sought after in Europe due to the quality of the mechanics who couldn't rely on off the shelf parts, so they had to improvise, thus making them better.. i'd suggest 10-15 drivers from OZ V8s right now could go close to what Shane is achieving, although its painfully obvious he is something special..

    You guys really need to seriously look at VS Supercars and especially the Bathurst 1000 (held in October each year) at one of the most difficult circuits in the world, and yes it is a street circuit. The course has an elevation differential of 570 feet. It is much narrower than your American racetracks, and top speeds of about 200 miles an hour. It takes 6 hours or so to run. There is an excellent KZread video by an ex VS supercar driver (Mark Larkham) that explains the track and the difficulty very well. It will also give you an idea of the skills needed and why street courses do not phase Aussie/NZ drivers at all. And to be clear, for us Aussies, the Bathurst 1000 is the race- period!

    The Cup cars are similar to the Supercars, so I don't see too many problems. He can drive midgets, sprintcars, rally cars, GT cars, supercars plus. Doesn't matter left or right set, manual or sequential. And he don't take shit from others. Will race hard and fair. Overall has potential.

    I tried to explain to everyone that if you that if you took the top 5 racers from every motorsport category in the world, and put them into any and every category in the world. Every single one of those drivers has the talent and tenacity to win on their day. But SVG will be in the top 5 every week in any and every car, on any and every track. I don't believe SVG is autistic, but he is OCD/autistic in his approach to racing in that he doesn't care about anything else other than making his car go faster, and getting it to the front of the queue. Everything else is just noise and distractions. No one can get into his head, and he stays calm because every other emotion or reaction would be a hindrance to getting to the podium.

    In Australia the supercars only run 1 weekend a month roughly. For all the drivers here all they want to do is race every weekend. Unfortunately the supercars series is going backwards like SVG has said many times. I can't wait for him to win on an oval track but he has been saying road courses are easy it's the ovals he needs to learn a lot to succeed 🙂

    I'm an Aussie, and I've started watching NASCAR, rather than Aussie Supercars. The main reason is that Australia no longer races own cars. As far as the actual event goes, Supercars is a far more entertaining style of racing. Supercars look way better, I can't tell you why, they just do. The TV coverage is way superior, and if you doubt that, remember, Australia was the inventors of in-car cameras, and help American teams adapt that to NASCAR. I do not like the stages part of NASCAR, but it is what it is. I'm also not of fan of bump and grind racing. But that, too, is what it is. However, if I have to watch American brand cars race, I might as well watch it from America. After all, everything else seems to be American. We have American Movies, American Music, American TV shows, American News reports. Hell, Australia seems to be completely engulfed with overseas entertainment. So, for now, as long as NASCAR keeps running street circuits, and Gizzy keeps winning, I'm happy to keep watching NASCAR.

    Cool how y'all called it the thunder from downunder. The only oval track, downunder, that needs a massive rebuild, is the 'thunderdome' at calder Park, Melbourne. Nascar and the supercars should really look at a joint project and revamp the first nascar track raced outside of the usa.👍 There's heaps of Aussies n kiwi's who are new or renewed fans of nascar.. especially now that there's more road courses. Straya!!
