CLICK HERE to make your bid<\/a>.<\/p>\n Van Gisbergen has been creating his own piece of history in the US in 2025, and here is a rare chance to own your own little piece of it.<\/p>\n Up for grabs is SVG\u2019s pole-winning suit from the NASCAR Xfinity Series Pit Boss\/FoodMaxx 250 at Sonoma Raceway on Saturday, July 12.<\/p>\n The Charlotte-based Kiwi was driving the #9 QuadLock Chevrolet Camaro for JR Motorsports and went on to finish second in the race.\u00a0The race, contested over 79 laps, was won by his teammate Connor Zilisch in the #88 Chevrolet Camaro.<\/p>\n Shane van Gisbergen took pole position for the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Sonoma.<\/p>\n Zilisch fended off a hard-charging SVG who nearly passed him after the two drivers made contact on the final lap in Turn 7.<\/p>\n Qualifying was held on Friday, July 11. Since Sonoma Raceway is a road course, the qualifying procedure used is a two-group system with one round. Drivers were separated into two parts, Group A and Group B. Each driver had multiple laps to set a time.<\/p>\n SVG scored the pole with a lap of 1:15.259s, and a speed of 95.191 mph (153.195 km\/h) on the permanent road course set in the heart of Californian wine country.<\/p>\n \u201cThe pole at Sonoma was a pretty cool day and it\u2019s great that I can share a bit of that with a fan with the auctioning of the suit from that race,\u201d said van Gisbergen.<\/p>\n \u201cMore importantly, the money goes to Motorsport Ministries who have done a great job in Australia for years and who care about our sport and its people.<\/p>\n \u201cI appreciate all the amazing support I get from Australia and New Zealand.<\/p>\n \u201cI heard last year\u2019s Legends Night was very successful and I hope everyone has a great time and spends plenty of money for a great cause on Friday night.\u201d<\/p>\n Pirtek Legends Night founder, Brett \u201cCrusher\u201d Murray welcomed SVG\u2019s generosity.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen we contacted SVG about helping us with the second Pirtek Legends Night auction he did not hesitate,\u201d said Murray.<\/p>\n \u201cHe has got plenty going on in the US and is doing a hell of a job, but nothing was an issue \u2013 which is the way it has always been with him.<\/p>\n \u201cThe suit is getting an enormous amount of interest and really is a one-off piece of memorabilia for one lucky fan.\u201d<\/p>\n The SVG suit will be one of 16 major items up for grabs at the sold out event.<\/p>\n![\"Shane](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2224698247-1.jpg\")
