Van Gisbergen Completes Rare NASCAR Xfinity, Cup Sweep Chicago

Shane van Gisbergen achieved a historic NASCAR milestone by sweeping both the Xfinity and Cup Series races from pole position at the Chicago Street Course, matching a feat previously accomplished only by Kyle Busch in 2016. This victory marked van Gisbergen's third career Cup win and made him the winningest foreign-born driver in NASCAR's top series, showcasing his exceptional road course skills developed in Australia and New Zealand. Trackhouse Racing owner Justin Marks praised van Gisbergen as potentially the best road course racer in NASCAR history. Van Gisbergen expressed gratitude for the career-changing opportunity NASCAR has provided him and highlighted his success on the Chicago circuit, which has become a significant part of his racing journey. The race concluded under caution after a late crash, with Ty Gibbs and Tyler Reddick finishing second and third respectively. The Chicago event, part of a three-year NASCAR contract, may not continue beyond 2025, leaving its future uncertain.
