Van Gisbergen Completes NASCAR Weekend Sweep in Chicago

Shane van Gisbergen dominated the Chicago Street Course weekend by winning both the NASCAR Xfinity and Cup Series races from pole position, marking a rare sweep and matching a historic NASCAR milestone previously set by Kyle Busch in 2016. This victory was van Gisbergen's second of the 2025 Cup season and his third career Cup win, further establishing him as one of NASCAR's top street racers. He secured the Cup race lead late by passing Chase Briscoe and maintained control despite multiple cautions, including one caused by a spectator medical emergency and another by a stalled car, ultimately winning under caution after a late incident. The weekend was highlighted by van Gisbergen’s consistent performance, having also won in Chicago in 2023 during his Cup debut, a feat not achieved since 1963. Other notable drivers included Ty Gibbs, who finished second in the Cup race, and Tyler Reddick, who climbed to third late in the race. The event also featured significant crashes impacting several drivers, including a multicar pile-up initiated by Carson Hocevar, illustrating the challenges of the narrow urban street circuit.
