This Old School Nascar fan is extremely excited about Shane coming to Nascar full time. I haven't been as excited to see someone win like Shane did in Chicago since Dale Jr won Daytona in 2001. I hope more racers around the world follow what Shane is doing and come try Nascar.

[@cpcxgsr]

for most, road course ringers are only good at racing on nascar road courses. For which their driving skills far excels when compared to your fulltime nascar drivers. But when they race on ovals, which are the majority of the nascar schedule, it's less to be desired about. Take a look at Marco Ambrose, Boris Said, JPM, and etc. They kill it on the road courses. But when they're on ovals, they are midpack at best. Don't get me wrong... I love road course racing. Those tracks shows the drivers' true skills. Oval racing is a totally different beast. But for SVG, I would prefer him to be racing in IMSA, LeMans, or touring cars... I think he would dominate there. But I am glad he is willing to get out of his comfort zone and try to compete in something else.

[@Quad_Lock]

He is such an exciting driver, and his talent behind the wheel is immeasurable! 🔥

[@briangill4000]

Amazingly humble for a man with so much success. I'm sure he will keep that. Even in America. It's in his blood. Best wishes for this next adventure 🇦🇺🇳🇿

[@grahammayes1968]

So good to see svg comfortable in an interview and talking openly about himself. Maybe the supercars media should take some notes from your interview. Can't wait for svg to enter Nascar and run with the big boys.

[@GeoffreyGloyn]

big boys! he'll be so far in front they won't look so large.!

[@Quad_Lock]

This was just a chat with a mate really! 🙌 Definitely going to give the Nascar Boys a hard time! 💪 Cheers -Aaron

[@JunixKuizon]

Awesome support quad lock from quad lock user. Awesome product! 👏

[@Quad_Lock]

Thank you for your support! 💙

[@markcollins6639]

Awesome, nice relaxed interview. never knew he lived beside the o'conors. Is that where he got the RC bit from. good luck this weekend

[@Quad_Lock]

It was an awesome interview! Pretty safe guess I think, growing up with the O'Connors! Cheers -Aaron

[@nicholasash9389]

I like how he say's, "Those guys were flat out from the start, I had to take my time learn a bit". Then just qualified fastest, then carves through the pack and wins. I can't wait to see him on an oval.

[@Quad_Lock]

It's going to be a must-watch race for sure! 🔥

[@73bigted]

Remember the spin at Puke in the Formula Ford and driving back through the field to win, been some awesome moments looking forward to the NASCAR journey. Think Shane will be the first non American Cup Champion

[@Quad_Lock]

Cannot wait to see the many great things his future brings 🏁☝️

[@lehichase8275]

All the best Shane

[@ncphotos]

Great interview!

[@Quad_Lock]

Thanks! 💙

[@egyptology22]

The guy is the most talented driver I've ever seen. He will go down as one of the greats.

[@Quad_Lock]

Absolutely, certainly is in our books 🐐💙 Cheers - Isabelle

[@egyptology22]

@Quad_Lock Seriously, lock him into a contract if you can. I think if he could fit into an F1 car, he'd give Max a lesson. He's like me, anything with an engine, but ten levels above. And I was a Rally instructor for years. He's my man racing crush

[@Quad_Lock]

Sounds like you are crushing hard, but I get it, he is pure talent 😍 Someone needs to get close to Max and he might be the man for the job if not hopefully Oscar 🤞 Cheers - Isabelle

888 and Redbull should part own a team in NASCAR if he goes ok on ovals should adapt well...
