LIVE: Shane van Gisbergen Chicago Street Race In-Car Camera presented by Sunoco

[@PhotonBread]

What a drive. Don’t think I’ve seen someone wheel a NASCAR that effortlessly in a long time

[@jacap1sr]

I'll be honest, I only watched this video from about 3:07:30, give or take, to the finish. It looked so much closer on the original broadcast. But watching this, you can see SVG clearly pulling away. It really wasn't even close.

First Nascar entered the 24 hour of Le mans. There car was a fan favorite and gave them big recognition. Now nascar just raced in the streets of people who arent nascar fans watching. And they just witnessed history with Shanes win. Not only that but people in New Zealand and Australia will see that nascar can actually be a fun sport to watch. Nascar is making the right moves to grow not just in America, but worldwide as well.

[@kevincolwell3066]

As a race fan that doesn’t watch NASCAR I enjoyed the racing once they got passed some of the issues early on with cars going into walls every 6 turns or so. If the weather was good and the whole race was like the end I would consider watching it more. The issue I have is I never enjoy watching ovals even with Indy car I skip all those races and that is most of what NASCAR is. Not saying they change their series for the outsiders. But I know I am not alone in that feeling and would be hard to overcome.

[@FuddButter]

Just need to get rid of the "stages", stop going to ads every chance they can, and have the commentators know what's going on, there were a few points in the race where there were major position changes and it all happened while at an ad break, and nothing was mentioned about it. Other than that, it was a pretty good race! More streets! And bring them down to Australia!

[@teajaydesigns]

​@kevincolwell3066 ovals are a lot more fun with nascar, especially the new car. I understand not liking it bc they do get spread out and are kinda long. Tracks like daytona, Talladega, and Atlanta constantly have passing for the lead if yo uever wanted to check it out

[@logawinner]

NASCAR was actually already well known, they have an equivalent in V8 Supercars.

This race went better than I could have ever imagined. Shane van Gisbergen winning is the icing on the cake. I would definitely love to see him do more Nascar races.

[@caderatliff3712]

Definitely ... but not as much as I'd like to see NASCAR run a points race at Bathurst.

[@nascartiger]

This may have been one of the best races I’ve seen in a long time

[@joshhaines2258]

From a Kiwi who was only watching for SVG - what an awesome drive BUT what an awesome show overall. NASCAR really put on a sick event.. And it was really cool seeing the respect and props given to svg from the other drivers on the in lap at the end

[@hotnewsupdates]

SVG dominated those last 5 laps!

[@stepasidejnr]

His late pit gave him a 16 lap fresh tyre advantage. He did say he was forced to pit for fuel. Could of been race plan, or it just worked out that way.

[@andrewjensen7413]

​@@stepasidejnr6 laps fresher tires but his corner speed-car control and overall lap times were Faster showing his Skills for all to See. SVG was Teammates for Years with to of the Greatest of Australian V8 Supercars Driver's Craig lowndes and Jamie Whincup at 888 Red Bull Racing.

[@彭英-x3n]

[@Zayn2728]

I was just randomly watching this live and this dude won! Nice!

[@markovasil1608]

What an epic drive by Shane Van Gisburgen, what a talent

[@frasercrone3838]

He is very good but there are others just as good back home in supercars.

[@MelodyMan69]

Watched the race from onboard Camera in Shanes Car. The last hour was only REAR vision, but great to see all the cars being passed by Shane. Final Vision was the burnout on the Finish Line. No commentry but worked it out that Shane WON!

[@AbrIckWaII]

​@@Bogues_88 I think there was an issue with the forward facing camera. Nothing nascar can really do about that. It does suck though.

[@ray095883]

Yeah they forward cameras went to crap. Deff a learning experience for the production crew.

[@mickd8188]

​@@Bogues_88makes my eyes twitch when people comment there wasn't much passing. I counted a lot from where I watched..lol Amazing to watch second time round not at work with ear buds in. Wicked sounds. Awesome race.

[@GREENGENE18]

Been following all forms of motorsports since the late 70's. This is very high on my all time moments list, if not at the top. Thought for sure he would get punted by a regular. But to punt someone, you first have to get to them, & no one was able to catch Shane all day. Unthinkable. Undoable. But you saw it happen. A 1st timer absolutely dominated. What a phenomenal run! Wtg SVG & crew!

[@MattZ653]

An amazing performance in such adverse weather conditions. And for NASCAR to pull this off, we have to commend them on a job well done.

[@smudge6831]

Phenomenal drive by SVG again. As a kiwi he is no doubt one of most talented drivers to come out of NZ. Along with Scott Dixon, and McLaughlan NZ is definitely outperforming in motorsport.

[@shannonthompson8024]

I'd also put Liam Lawson,Marcus Armstrong,Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy in that list as well.

[@shannonthompson8024]

And Hartley and Earl Bamber

[@robwaterfiled6168]

Greg Murphy

[@michaeldeitch3642]

This guy earned a lot of fans tonight!

[@CadizRacing]

He won on pure pace, and best of all: he didn’t need his bumper to pass. He absolutely outclassed them with superior talent.

[@ellisjames7192]

It helped that his car was faster.

[@IcyTamagotchi]

@@ellisjames7192 how was his car faster? He's able to manage his tyres better which gives him the edge at the end of the race

[@sweetnasty2423]

@@IcyTamagotchiIt’s not as much about tires as it is knowledge on street courses. NASCAR drivers know how to manage tires, especially the elite. He said in his post race that the reason he’s so fast is because the nascar regulars were leaving extra track real estate on the back end of the course. They weren’t as close to the wall as he was in the tighter areas. That’s all due to inexperience on this type of course. Only 3 NASCAR regulars have ever done a street race.

[@dominicbarden4436]

@@sweetnasty2423 Who are the regular drivers who'd done a street race before this weekend? Off the top of my head I can only think of Allmendinger due to his background in Champ Car. And obviously the two guest drivers in van Gisbergen and Button have done plenty of street racing in their careers in Supercars and F1 respectively.

[@CaptAraldite]

@@sweetnasty2423 what about the fact that the guy never set foot in one of these cars until this week. Steering wheel on a different side for a start. Was a really cool drive from this cam, the first half you could tell it was not easy, showed alot of patience and even got showed up by bell? and reddick for a bit. As the track dried out and he got some time in the saddle he got it ripping. from the 2:15 mark he was taking names, cool to see. Great he got the job done cleanly. It was a great race for Nascar. As a kiwi i am very proud. My dream would be to see SVG and Scott Mcglaughlin in 2025 going for it. Those 2 are insanely talented.

if they run it again, they need to adjust the one corner where 70% of the incidents occurred.

[@AbrIckWaII]

​@@JuannyRum23 turn 6? I think they just need a dry track instead. They need to move the start finish line as well so they can have more orderly double-file restarts

[@Ash-nq1qo]

what an awesome track, such great views of chicago, so great seeing nascar racing street races. much love from australia

[@walthermejicanos8403]

Congratulations Van Gisbergen! Nascar trying to set up the the win of the race for Elliott, with 25 laps to go on 3rd, and putting Van on 17th.. lesson of the day for Nascar, you can't cheat to real talent! Congratulations trackhouse Racing!

[@ellisjames7192]

SVG was too stout for Elliot and all the others.

[@RcDriftIN]

He got put 17th sure, on fresh ass tires. That’s how it works when you pit, you lose position. I’m pretty convinced 1/4 who entered the pit were tipped off that the race would be cut short, there was no other reason for those cars to go in and get fresh tires. If bell or Reddick wouldn’t have drove into the wall this race more than likely would have ended differently. Bell was outpacing Gisbergen by 2 seconds or more the entire race. I would have loved to see the guys with the freshest tires who were all running the fastest all day battle it out in the end. Unfortunately we had to end up with Haley Vs. Gisenberg and Haley’s tires were going on 40+ laps whereas Gisbergen’s were in the 20’s. Not hard to make it look easy taking down half the pack when everyone is fighting for grip and you’re able to push the car hard. Not to mention he gained 7 positions in a single corner with the pileup and 4 more positions from wrecks. 18 to go on a restart he only had 7 people in front of him and all those people were on worn rubber. All he had to do was keep pace and go for 1 move in position every 2 laps. The late restarts also helped him.

[@Gordon-r4h]

​@@RcDriftIN Tyres last longer in the wet. An hes really hard out on his to get to the lead. Justin Haley could still have won the Race, he easily retook the lead, in the dying stages, an never blocked after, if that was Carl Bush or any old hand Gisbergen would be second.

[@ACDZ123]

[@liberty8990]

So much for NASCAR drivers being the best in the world

[@Cynthesis21]

What a boneheaded comment. Who said that Nascar drivers were the best in the world? And do you even know what is going to happen once SVG goes to the oval? Different ballgame there, and the other drivers have much more experience than him in the oval. In the circuit track, SVG has more experience than the other drivers. So the outcome here is not that surprising...

Loving this vantage point and access, thankyou for making it avsilable

[@carisi2k11]

This is awesome for NZ, Australia and the Supercars series but before you NASCAR guys go signing him to a mega dollar deal remember that Shane has way more experience in street courses then just about the rest of the field combined with the exception of Jenson. He has way more wet weather knowledge and this clearly showed in his ability to overtake in places the other guys had no idea were possible. Remember also that he has very little oval experience which makes up like 90% of the NASCAR calendar. Great Job Shane and it was so awesome to see your race through the grid from 18th.

My Opinion, He's Like the Modern Style Road course Intimidator!!(with a Touch of New Zealand). I'm Glad he Joined up with Track House Racing and Chevrolet(Project 91) a Good Match Sponsor and Mfr.

There are way too many Nascar drivers who are drivers only because of who their daddy or granddaddy is - not because of their skill level. Was good to see a real race car driver come in and show Nascar drivers how lacking in skill and experience they are.

It's expensive to go racing. You have to get sponsorship to get the ride. The big names attract sponsors. It's not fair, but life isn't fair. That said, I enjoyed watching this guy put on a clinic as much as anyone. The reduced traction of the damp track really showed the difference in skills.
