Ryan Blaney watched as Shane van Gisbergen dominated in the Chicago Street Race in 2023, and he believes it’ll be awhile before anybody in the Cup Series can match his prowess. Evidently, Blaney believes van Gisbergen’s right-foot braking technique is what separates the New Zealander from the pack in Chicago. It allowed him to drive away from the field last season, and it has him as the favorite entering 2024. So, easy solution right? Blaney and the rest of the Cup Series should just copy what van Gisbergen is doing? Not so fast. The reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion believes it’ll be quite ...

Speaking with the media after capturing the pole for Saturday’s event, the reigning champion of the Cup Series’ trip to Chicago made sure to point out his Chevrolet is a fast one, comparing it to a rocket ship during his interview. “What an awesome start. The Kaulig Racing guys have given us some rockets. WeatherTech Chevy is pretty quick. I’ve kept it straight so far. I’ve got to do that in the race,” van Gisbergen stated. “These street circuits are tough, and eve...

As the NASCAR Cup Series returns to Chicago for the Grant Park 165, Kevin Harvick and the Harvick’s Happy Hour crew are locking in their predictions. The favorite for Sunday’s race is Shane van Gisbergen, last season’s surprise winner of the event. Harvick believes it’s SVG’s race to lose once again in 2024, but he’s adding an interesting long shot to his prediction. “You know who I’m picking, I think he’s going to win again. I think SVG is going to win again,” Harvick stated, riding with the New Zealander. “I think the long shot is Justin Haley.” Kaitlyn Vincie agreed with Harvick, riding wit...

A ton of attention has been paid to the Xfinity Series over the last week and change, due to the rivalry between Shane van Gisbergen and Austin Hill, which added another chapter at Sonoma Raceway. Dale Earnhardt Jr. was very entertained by van Gisbergen and Hill’s clash in California, where the former owed the latter a receipt from COTA. During the latest episode of The Dale Jr. Download, the NASCAR Hall of Famer spoke on the rivalry as a whole. “I don’t get that hyped up for the road course races in our series, but the end was entertaining, and SVG wins, I guess, two in a row now,” Earnhardt ...

Shane van Gisbergen has taken the Xfinity Series by storm, and it’s rubbed some racers the wrong way, like Austin Hill, but the New Zealander has a ton of respect for many other drivers in NASCAR, like Ty Gibbs. The man affectionately known as SVG has raced against Gibbs in both the Cup Series and the Xfinity Series, and it was evident the Joe Gibbs Racing wheelman gained van Gisbergen’s attention during last weekend’s race at Sonoma. While Gibbs dealt with some trouble throughout the race that led to him not competing against van Gisbergen for the win, the New Zealander recognized Gibbs’ tale...

Whenever Shane van Gisbergen wins a race, he celebrates with a rugby ball. On theStacking Pennies podcast, the New Zealand native explained how the rugby ball celebration got started. “That’s a Trackhouse thing,” van Gisbergen said. “Daniel [Suárez] has the piñata, Ross [Chastain] has the watermelon. They’re like ‘You got to come up with something.’ I didn’t really know what to do and someone suggested pick a rugby ball.” Van Gisbergen was then asked why the punt at Sonoma was not as strong as the one in Portland the week before. “It was flat. The ball was flat,” he said. “So they gave it to m...

Shane van Gisbergen revealed that he chipped his two front teeth during the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at the Portland International Raceway earlier this month. On the Stacking Pennies podcast, co-host Corey LaJoie asked van Gisbergen about the incident. “I did yeah on the curbs I think,” van Gisbergen (also known as SVG) said. “There’s not too many photos of it.” LaJoie added, “He said he looked like Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber. Like what lap was that?” Van Gisbergen responded, “I just finished the race and I went, ‘Man, oh that’s not right. Oh s***. Try to cover it up. Try not to sm...

The latest chapter in that rivalry was written on Saturday evening, as van Gisbergen captured the victory at Sonoma Raceway after delivering Hill a receipt for costing him the win at COTA.

Denny Hamlin believes Shane van Gisbergen is loving NASCAR’s “Rubbin’ is racing” mantra, as the New Zealander adjusts to the sport in the Xfinity Series. The sentiment from Hamlin stems from van Gisbergen moving Austin Hill out of the way for the victory at Sonoma over the weekend, pushing him up the track on the restart and jetting away from the field afterwards. During the latest episode of his Actions Detrimental podcast, Hamlin elaborated on why he believes that’s all well and good for van Gisbergen in the Xfinity Series, but that wouldn’t fly in the Cup Series, where SVG would like to rac...
