Shane van Gisbergen finishes 4th at Indianapolis for second career top 5 at an oval

SVG scored his 5th top 5 of 2024 at the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway and recorded his second top 5 on an oval. Big points day for SVG and the No. 97 team as they were able to pick up some stage points as well. Now for the Olympic break! Xfinity returns to action August 17th at Michigan. Let me know your thoughts on the race!

SVG said his car was really loose at the start so he couldn’t drive it properly. Once he pitted and they changed what he wanted to change, he could start to drive the car properly and he was passing people lap by lap. He did this result on speed today. He was awesome. 😊

What a drive from the Giz! Thanks for another great rundown Mate... enjoy your Summer break.

His onboard was very cool. His team was also very good on strategy, Things looking positive.

Another nice review of the race. Thank you!
Was never a SVG fan but enjoy watching him take on a new challenge oval racing in NASCAR.

hes a great white shark... its just a matter of time till he gets an oval win. his will to win is his greatest skill...its bigger than his skill set which is better than 99.9% of drivers with his drifting and rally and tintop racing experience... the guy is an apex predator the sooner he gets into cup the better. he's getting old. he should have gone to the US six years ago.

That was a fantastic race all the way through. Awesome finish. Great result for SVG too. By far his most complete performance on an oval yet imo

[StreetSweeper]

The momentum is strong for SVG. He’s getting better and better each week. I think he has a GREAT shot winning the xfinity series championship

[bearmarsh]

Can't take anything from Riley Herbst but that was a great win...And big congrats to SVG on a your forth place finish.

Loving watching the in car and listening to his radio, learning a lot about NASCAR

[Turboginge]

As a Giz supporter since his days at SBR, Im a proud kiwi seeing him kickin ass in the states...

Im also a kiwi wondering how thehell the rules of NASCAR work.

You should do a video explaing all that to use southern hemispherites. ( Particularly the playoffs )

[Craig_Simpson]

Was a great race to watch and I really enjoyed the last lap pass for the win.

[NathanScott-dx]

Proving week in week out, he belongs in cup

[JAMIN.IT.DEEP.]

Well done Shane. The lands of down under are enjoying your success good job mate

[briansatchell]

I met SVG when he first come to Australia and was drifting in his off season and just a kid..
Watching everything he has done, he has ALWAYS managed to adapt to new situations quickly.
Im a HUGE fan of him and thought it would 5 oval tracks at least before he even got a top ten.. Now im wondering if he will win a race.

Great round up mate keep up the good work

[philipthoreau]

Thanks for your detailed report. Appreciated!🇳🇿

Kiwis and aussies dominate Indy car, 2 aussies in top 10 in qually in F1 and a kiwi will likely join them in a few weeks time. Now the Gis will dominate nascar within 2 years. The world should take note. Go the boys from down under.

Funniest part was watching #7 defend against SVG like his life depended on it……

After the talk of SVG in the cup series 2025 and all the people who felt he wasn't making progress on the ovals, would've been awesome timing if Gizzy won at Indy, 4th still speaks a lot but it would've giving NASCAR fans a little taste of the impact SVG had in AUS- he has not bad days and GREAT days.
