\u2014 NASCAR (@NASCAR) August 10, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cGood to get that one back. What an awesome race,\u201d van Gisbergen said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe car was just amazing again. To get another win. I definitely gave that bustop wall another metre on that last lap,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n AdvertisementAdvertise with NZME.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s the stuff you dream about. I\u2019m just a lucky guy to drive for an amazing bunch of people and just execute. The day just went flawlessly. I can\u2019t believe it.\u201d<\/p>\n It continues a stunning rookie season for van Gisbergen following previous road wins this season at Sonoma Raceway<\/a>, Chicago Street Race<\/a> and Mexico<\/a>. The win also comes in the same week he announced a multi-year contract extension with Trackhouse Racing to remain in Nascar for the long term.<\/p>\n The win was extra special for van Gisbergen, who lost his mother Karen last April, and his father Robert was at Watkins Glen to watch him race for the first time this season.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s amazing to have him here. A tough year for dad. He hasn\u2019t been able to travel. To have him here for the next three weeks and share this with him, it\u2019s amazing,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Discover more<\/p>\n Two races remain in the regular season before the first section of the playoffs begins on September 1 in Darlington.<\/p>\n The playoffs begin with three races on oval tracks, which van Gisbergen has struggled on, but if he can do enough to stay in the top 12 then the second phase of the playoffs includes a road race.<\/p>\nShane van Gisbergen kicks a rugby ball in celebration after winning the Nascar Cup Series Go Bowling at The Glen at Watkins Glen International.
