Van Gisbergen’s Roval Rout Makes It Five Straight on Road Courses

The Trackhouse rookie now targets oval gains after a 15-second Charlotte win that underscores a season of peak team execution.

Overview

  • Shane van Gisbergen dominated the Bank of America Roval 400, leading 57 of 109 laps and winning by more than 15 seconds over Kyle Larson.
  • His five-race road-course streak leaves him one victory shy of Jeff Gordon’s record of six consecutive wins on such tracks.
  • Trackhouse owner Justin Marks forecast him as NASCAR’s greatest road racer, while Richard Petty praised his braking precision and tire management.
  • Eliminated from the playoffs, he is building on a first Cup oval top-10 at Kansas as he turns to Las Vegas, Talladega, Martinsville and Phoenix.
  • He has been sharpening short-track craft in Legends cars and will debut a New Zealand-themed livery at Las Vegas while keeping a brief off-season plan to race at home before returning to prepare for next year.
