Shane van Gisbergen won the NASCAR Cup Series race at Sonoma Raceway on June 28, according to news-herald.com. The victory stands out in the context of his career, as the New Zealand native had raced exclusively on road and street courses until three years ago, when he began competing on the series' 22 circular tracks, the outlet reported.
Prior to this win, van Gisbergen noted that his performance on oval tracks has been inconsistent. He stated that he sometimes runs 10th to 15th in position, while at other times he battles to run 30th. He described it as difficult to figure out oval racing and considered himself the weak link as a driver, though he noted that his teammates are also struggling.
The win comes with eight races remaining in the regular season, according to news-herald.com.
