ABOUT

Look up ‘natural ability’ in the dictionary and it should have a picture of Shane van Gisbergen next to it. Whether it’s GT cars, drifting, open wheelers, rallying, Supercars or even virtual racing van Gisbergen has an uncanny and instinctive ability to feel the dynamics of the car beneath him and he’s successfully competed in all codes. Known not just for his Supercars success, SVG has won premiere events like the Rally of Jack’s Ridge and the New Zealand Grand Prix despite starting from last place. He is considered by many wise heads within the motorsport world as, pound-for-pound, one of the best drivers in the world.

Having raced in Australia’s Supercars series since 2007 and securing countless wins and multiple championships, van Gisbergen has made the jump to the United States in 2024 to compete as a full-time NASCAR driver.

After winning the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Chicago Street race on debut, expectations were high for Shane van Gisbergen's first full-time NASCAR Xfinity Series season. 

Despite having to learn a whole new discipline in the form of ovals, van Gisbergen has been exceeding those expectations, being a three-time race winner just halfway in to to the season. All three wins came on road-courses, but with a P3 at Atlanta Motor Speedway and P4 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, it's only a matter of time until his first oval victory.
