At this point, if you name a road course, the one name that comes to mind is Shane van Gisbergen’s. By winning on Sunday by a mammoth 15-second gap, SVG is the new road course king in town. But his story doesn’t just end here at all.
Last race, at Kansas, he scored his first top-10 Cup finish on an oval, his best till now. Every race is showing his steady progress, especially when it comes to speedways. “It’s been a huge gain,” he admitted last month, and the entire garage is noticing this. His team owner, Justin Marks, has been all praise for him since the beginning, extending his contract with Trackhouse now. And as the road courses of the season are over, with just the oval journey ahead, SVG lays down his honest thoughts on his speedway progress so far.
