Shane van Gisbergen Dominates NASCAR Debut, Wins Inaugural Chicago Street Race

New Zealand's Shane van Gisbergen made history by winning in his NASCAR Cup Series debut at the inaugural Chicago Street Race. The race was shortened due to weather conditions, but van Gisbergen took the lead on lap 71 and held off Justin Haley to secure the victory. This makes him the first driver since 1963 to win in his first start in the NASCAR Cup Series. Van Gisbergen's success comes as part of Trackhouse Racing's "Project 91," which aims to provide international drivers with opportunities in NASCAR.
