How This NASCAR Driver Did The GREATEST Victory Taunt In Racing History!

[@chriscos88]

You missed the bit where Hill flipped him the bird which is why he drifted behind him the whole lap 😂

[@ray.shoesmith]

SVG said on Stacking Pennies that he was just going to drift for the fans at turn 2, but then he saw Austin Hill giving him the bird out the window so then he decided to give it to him for the rest of the lap. Fkn epic 😂

I been watching nascar, now, going on 18 years with the first race I watched on tv was at Sonoma in 2006. Never, I have I seen a driver drift a stock car at ease like that before. SVG has certainly got my attention, especially seeing him win at Chicago last year.

Don’t screw with Gizzy. Us Aussies and Kiwis have watched him for years take no prisoners.

[@richardgabinelli7805]

Yet he can’t figure out how to drive an oval. This will most likely turn out like all the other road course drivers from their respective series that go to NASCAR and his career will probably turn out like the others. Threat at every road course, a few nice runs on ovals.

@@F1NATIKwe shall see. He is still racing in the minor league. Competition on ovals is just going to get harder at the next level. I still haven’t seen him actually race on an oval yet. A lot of riding around and waiting and hoping for cars running in front of him to have some sort of problem that will enable him to get a decent finish. Hope he can live up to the hype because sooner or later he is going to have to produce on an oval.

Oh, I dont know about that. In 1979 Peter Brock at the bathurst 1000 (that is a 600 mile sprint race around one of the circuits generally acknowledged as one of the toughest circuits in the world) which Shane van Gisbergen has won three times (Peter Brock won it nine times) started the last lap 6 laps in front of the car in second position. He then went on to set a lap record on the last lap of the race. That is a victory taunt

[@TasmanianDevil3]

The Brock thing is getting old

[@27AUSSIECHAMP]

Technically won it 7 times if you take away the victories where he basically robbed his team mates from a victory by taking their car because his car died. Jim Richards and Brock are tied in my opinion. But you can't really compare eras. The cars are simply alot closer and equal these days compared to back then. It gets harder to win each year.

The problem is in Nascar contact is allowed. In Australia he is more or less protected from it. In Nascar that's not really the case. I think he is gonna get dumped. Most likely at Chicago.

[@sammacculloch446]

​@@kyleraymer5581 have you watch supercars? There is plenty of contact.. it just has more consequences. And he will no doubt be punted at some point, but he'll give as good as he gets.

[@ashdog236]

Although Supercars has penalties for bump and runs, that doesn’t mean there isn’t contact, SVG has gotten away with penalties from punting people off in Supercars cos he knows how to do it within the rules, there’s an overlap rule in Supercars that can make or break the decision to penalise and he’s often been on the good side of that decision so watch him get revenge in nascar, it’s gonna be funny 😂

[@kyleraymer5581]

@@ashdog236 I never said there wasn't contact. Just that they are more or less protected from it. Where in NASCAR it's essentially free game. And I'm not talking about him getting revenge.

@@kyleraymer5581 you might wanna go back over your forecasts, because so far you're 0 from 2... Didn't dump him (mainly because someone else couldn't figure out the brake pedal) and they certainly changed the rules after Austin Dillon wreckfested his way to a win in Richmond. I think SVG likes the self policing style, hence the move away from the SS style Gestapo stewards in Supercars. If you don't understand what I mean, have a look at the way penalties are dished out for bump and runs, car contact ect.

[@gregvandy34]

It was spectacular and Hill had it coming. Hill flipped him off due to being mad about the restart. Hill had no right. First Hill absolutely took SVG out at the Cota turn one. That cost SVG the race that he had won had he not been plowed. Then at Sonoma hill drove into that turn all the way to the bottom like SVG wasn’t there. Now I don’t blame hill for that. Hills only shot to win was hope SVG slowed and backed down and let Hill have the corner even tho SVG had 3/4 of the car along side Hill. Even then it would have took something bad happening to SVG because Shane was 2 seconds a lap faster than Hill. So Hill flipping the bird and acting a fool when Hill had been in the wrong on every run in they’d had, which is typical Austin Hill, really cost him this time. He had to drive the entire length of the track with SVG drifting and celebrating behind him. You could tell Hill was trying to get away but couldn’t. Shane continued to drive up behind him sideways smoking tires. It’s the best moment in racing in 2024 without a doubt. I was losing it the whole time. SVG is the man

[@tukamadafuka]

Shane is the Verstappen of the stock car world his car control and natural talent is unworldy. I may be bias as Im a kiwi, but I cant stand Verstappen so it balances out 😂

[@zchettaz]

Interesting... Kyle Larson recently claimed to be better than Verstappen, so given SVG is not only dominating nascars road courses but also battled Larson to win Chicago in his nascar debut last year, which implies SVG would also be better than Verstappen... that is, if we were to follow Larsons logic, of course. 😂 I reckon Oscar Piastre is going to take Verstappens place as the best driver in F1 over the next few of years, but that's my bias as an Aussie. Would be awesome to have them all race each other though.
