Shane van Gisbergen’s career before NASCAR was already that of a motorsport legend. A three-time Supercars champion in Australia with more than 80 career wins. Despite joining the NASCAR scene at the relatively late age of 34, he made history in his 2023 Cup Series debut at the Chicago Street Course. There, he won the race under Trackhouse Racing’s Project 91 entry. That breakthrough, coupled with his global profile, set the stage for a full-time Cup ride with Trackhouse in 2025. And now, that story has taken an even more significant turn, as Trackhouse’s latest announcement proves just how much faith they have in their Kiwi star.
Shane van Gisbergen’s arrival in the Cup Series this season has been marked by dominance on road courses. There has also been consistent improvement elsewhere.
