Van Gisbergen wins debut NASCAR cup race

[FIVEDOOR]

Paul Morris was instrumental in making the connection for Van Gisbergen to get his first drive stateside. Van Gisbergen took the opporturnity and announced his intention by qualifying, missing on pole by a whisker. He was running as low as 18, but came through to take the win.

All the Yanks are probably googling this place called New Zealand to see where it is. "Is it somewhere near Austria?"

His race team said "he's just an animal". I think we already knew that.

The Yanks just don't get it
If you watch the whole race from his in car camera, Shane does his usual winner's burnout
No one is cheering at all. about 3 hr 12 mins into video

Wait till they find out he's from the Waikato....that will throw a wobbly with the yanks.

SVG is the boss

Its a good thing it wasn't a game of English cricket, they'd be whinging about him cheating. Shesh!

Great for V8 Supercars too! To have their talent dominate over there will only do good things to the sport here.

Looking forward to watching this race on the weekend, it will be the first nascar I'll have ever seen, worth it to see the underdog dominate
