Why Shane van Gisbergen can be a NASCAR superstar! Fast Talk

- Michael McDowell won the Verizon 200 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway but the story behind the story was an influx of international talent competing in the NASCAR Cup Series.
Seven different countries were represented in the Verizon 200, including Chicago street race winner Shane van Gisbergen. The New Zealand Supercar ace was joined by V8 Supercar points leader Brodie Kostecki, who raced for Richard Childress Racing.
NASCAR also welcomed Japanese touring car star Kamui Kobayashi in the 23XI No. 67, plus former Formula 1 world champion Jenson Button and German sports car driver Mike Rockenfeller. Not to mention NASCAR Cup Series regular Daniel Suarez, who is from Mexico.
In this clip from Fast Talk presented by Toyota, Doug Rice, Alexis Erickson and Alan Cavanna discuss the importance of growing NASCAR's audience abroad with international drivers and why the Next Gen racing platform makes it easier for outsiders to have a real shot at winning in NASCAR.
Plus, we discuss Shane van Gisbergen's oval racing debut in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and Doug tells us why he believes van Gisbergen would immediately become a NASCAR fan favorite should he compete in the U.S. on a full-time basis. And while Shane van Gisbergen didn't win at Indianapolis, our panel agrees that a solid top-10 finish legitimized SVG's win on the Chicago street course as more than a fluke result. #NASCAR #Racing #Motorsport
So true. My NASCAR watching experience until SVG arrived was Nil, Got me now SVG will be heading there.. Definitely expanding the series globally...
I watched it when Ambrose was around, Stopped after that. Will watch again to see how Shane goes.
The commentators hit the nail on the head in saying how drivers from other countries increase the interest of the sport. As a Kiwi from New Zealand, I take great interest in Shane's career and having him now in NASCAR, we need access to see this awesome race here. I love SUPERCARS, and now NASCAR, bring it on!❤👍
From NZ, never really paid attention to NASCAR. Definitely following now with SVG.
Great video guys. Having the international drivers in these races has generated so much interest in nascar overseas, which is good for the sport. The attitude of most of the nascar drivers to the international drivers has also been great for the sport too. They need to get SVG & Kostecki back again soon to see what they can do when things go right for them as they both battled issues on the day. Thanks for mentioning our guys. 😊
Thanks for you're positive comments, .....about coming 10th, He had a sticky thottle and 2 long stops, also Chris Bell was road blocking him for last 20+ laps, the next 3 cars further up were also in clear view, so if he wanted to bump Bell, maybe even with the issues, 6th would've been possible with a ok but not great car.
Also Brodie put down the 2nd fastest lap of the day and he had to start at the back of the grid got to about 16th? at on stage...., but I think Shane had trouble with the throttle from early on and another thing, a Nascar doesn't equal a Supercar, there's a 300 kg difference in weight to start, which changes a lot of your natural driving techniques, so without other issues I can only see him getting faster with more opportunities.
Love your guy Kyle Larsen as well, he's a great bloke, very accepting of Shane and all Internationals....You guys are right on for Nascar's future success, up till now I would've thought it no more than an American thing, but this new gen car has made this brand of racing open up to the world, it's great to see this with Supercar/Nascar type cars which people love to see.
Thanks for the kind words! We were definitely keeping a close eye on Brodie. If not for that mishap in qualifying, he might've stolen the show!
I agree 100% mate. I know that nascar has generated so much overseas interest through having these drivers come in and race and I think that’s good for the sport.
As far as SVG and Brodie go, they both had issues that hampered their race. I am very confident that if Kostecki started from 11th and SVG wasn’t hampered by engine issues and bad stops they’d both have finished top 5.
Turns out he also suffered from food poisoning and had the shits
Subscribed for sure. Looking forward to more throughout this season.
I'm an Aussie and a huge motorsport fan.
I had largely lost interest in Nascar years ago, but now have a huge thirst for it again after SVG, Kosteski are in it. I'm also a huge Kyle Larson fan.
I have now gone back and watched every race from this season and watched so many TH-cam Nascar channels and whatever content i can find online.
Im not the only one who is super excited about Nascar again.
If you are looking to catch up NASCAR just published all of its old broadcasts for free! classics.nascar.com/channel/vfc-9zyg7vz-1
If NASCAR wants to make a hit on TV viewers down under they really need to get rid of all the bloody adverts during the race...every 5-6 laps, 10 adverts. The 6 hour Bathurst 1000 has no advert interruptions...nor do any of the Supercar races
That's probably KAYO or FOX. We pay for access yet still get bombarded with ads, usually betting ads which I despise.
@@billy4eyes512 It extends from the NASCAR broadcast and coverage. I watched a live stream on an International setting, the adds were removed but there was no commentary so the like of Fox or KAYO have to run (local) adds that fit in when the US broadcast run their adds
Shane is a real racer and as an Australian who has watched V8 supercars for years I can't believe how much it's changed. It's very generic and more a simulation racing event now days compared to the racing in Nascar . I watched the Infinity race at Watkin Glen today and am so excited about seeing Shane out there ripping up the track and enjoying his racing again after being restricted to race over here . Not surprised he is looking for the exit door over here and there are other great talents here who would jump at the opportunity to get out of supercars and match it with your great drivers
All said n done 2nd time in the car for SVG and a car he really doesn't know yet very well and a new type of tyre to contend with he certainly showed he's more than capable of being able to compete on a very high level ... Ovals will be a very new prospect to over come but if anyone can he's that Guy that will adapt very quickly ... Such a multi talented driver on 4 or 2 wheels ... Single seater prix cars ... WRC rally cars ... Sprint cars ... Migets ... 4 Wheel quad bikes ... Moto cross bikes ... Drift cars ... The list is long ... and he has Won in every one of those categories ... Elite driver of the highest order ... All on TH-cam for everyone to see ... 🇳🇿
Im a kiwi, and never watched Nascar until SVG started racing. I usually keep an eye on indycar with Scott Dixon and now Scott McGlauglin racing. Go the kiwis. 1 win, an 8th and 10th.
Put any NASCAR driver in a Supercar and give them 20mins practice on a track they have never raced at and my bet none would make the top 10
Well.....except for maybe Chase or Larson
@@SamuelDuplessis12 Not a shit show at all, right hand drive, locked diff, new track...no way ay all
Put them at Bathurst, in the rain...
@@billy4eyes512 It doesn't have to be that difficult...put them on any track in the dry with just 20mins practice in a foreign car...none would make the top 10 with the level of experience the Supercar drivers have.
Not one of them would would be in the top 10, plus sit them on the right hand side of the car, change gears left handed.
No it does grow NASCAR, but gives eyes on the actual drivers
NASCAR is not roadracing primarily but ovals, not fan favourites
All this proves is that Aussie supercars is a much better entertainment package than NASCAR .supercars won't lose anything by SVG going to NASCAR credit to the Australian series . Take it to the streets oval racing is so boring
47 ruined Kobayashi’s race. Too bad for the Kobayashi and Japanese fans.
I’d like to see a phew Yanks racing Bathurst
In 2019 Alexander Rossi, Indy 500 winner and James Hinchcliffe shared a Holden Commodore at Mount Panorama. They finished 19th after starting on the last row of the 26-car grid.
