It wasn't a win, but Shane van Gisbergen again impressed with a solid top-ten finish in Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at the Indianapolis Road Course.
“It’s just a battle of good drivers," said SVG after the race."It was with Larson and Bell there. Unfortunately, they came out in front of me on that last pit stop. Great to get another Top-10 for the Enhance Chevy, and Project 91. We had fun all weekend. Hopefully can come back and do it all again.”
Van Gisbergen knew that Indy would be more difficult than Chicago where he won a debut, being a familiar track for the Cup regulars. The lap times were incredibly close throughout the 39-car field. “It’s hard here because everyone’s on it," said Van Gisbergen, who managed to a lead a lap during one of the green-flag pit stop cycles."Everyone knows the track and there’s a lot more room for error. Everyone’s racing aggressively. I can’t thank the Project 91 guys here enough for the Enhance Chevy. So much fun to be back. Hopefully can do more. Had an awesome battle with Kyle [Larson] and Christopher [Bell] there.
He also made his oval debut this week, finishing 19th for Niece Motorsports at IRP. Although his plans for 2024 have yet to be finalized, it's likely that he will be racing in NASCAR in some capacity.and the Trackhouse team enough for giving me this opportunity. I learned a lot in the Truck on Friday night, and to get to come here and race again. Although a top-10 is awesome, expectations are high because of the last race. I just have to realize a top-10 is still pretty good.
Fellow Supercars driver and current series points leader Brodie Kostecki qualified 11th, but had to start from the back of the field after a qualifying crash. Making his debut, Kostecki steadily marched through the field and finished 22nd.gained 13 positions from the start, finishing 24th in his third career Cup start and his first while driving the No. 42 Legacy Motor Club Chevrolet.
