Despite spinning on his own on Lap 170<\/a>, the Trackhouse Racing driver recovered to be comfortably inside the top 20 until his second spin of the day on Lap 262.<\/p>\nVan Gisbergen had been running 16th when he was tipped into a spin by Kyle Busch in the #8 Richard Childress Racing Camaro.<\/p>\n
The first incident resulted in cosmetic damage to the right rear of van Gisbergen\u2019s car and shifted the balance, but not drastically.<\/p>\n
However, it was the second incident that, while innocuous from the outside, caused front splitter damage.<\/p>\n
Van Gisbergen\u2019s career-best oval finish remains 14th at Charlotte Motor Speedway at the Coca-Cola 600 earlier this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cGood rebound from the first one. Not much we could do about the second,\u201d said van Gisbergen\u2019s crew chief Stephen Doran.<\/p>\n
\u201cGreat restarts all day. We\u2019ll just go to Watkins Glen and execute, do our thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Van Gisbergen replied: \u201cYep, sorry about the spin guys. Damn, we should have had a good result today.\u201d<\/p>\n
The race was won by William Byron in the #24 Hendrick Motorsports Camaro. He pulled off a fuel-saving epic, aided by a litany of caution periods in Stage 3.<\/p>\n
Byron was able to make his last tank of fuel last 144 laps, pitting on Lap 206 of 350.<\/p>\n
It was his second win of the season and ended a winless streak dating back to this year\u2019s Daytona 500.<\/p>\n
It marked something of a redemption for Byron, who ran out of fuel while leading at Michigan earlier this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow about that for some fuel mileage? We\u2019ve had our fair share of things not go out way with fuel mileage,\u201d said Byron.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust super thankful for Rudy (Fugle), all these guys, all the engineers, all the engineers back at the shop, just this whole race team.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been through a lot this year. It\u2019s been a lot of growing pains. It\u2019s been tough on us but it was really good today to get a win.<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly, I felt like we had a good car and just kind of raced it. I tried to be there at the end and we were and luckily the fuel was enough there at the end.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think I ran out right there. That\u2019s why I stopped.\u201d<\/p>\n
In total, there were 12 cautions for 72 yellow flag laps \u2013 the lion\u2019s share of which came in Stage 2 and Stage 3. That equalled Texas Motor Speedway for the most cautions in a race this season.<\/p>\n
The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Watkins Glen on Monday, August 11 (AEST).<\/p>\n
