Agreed that they will be talking about the win for decades. One for the ages
NZ SPORTSMAN OF THE YEAR...if even ABs win world cup..full stop
SVG accomplishment
HISTORICAL..
.
I watched this LIVE was amazing proud to be a New Zealander today.
As you should be SVG school our drivers it was amazing to watch. Hello from Philly 😎😎👍👍
@@jackphilly338 I would politely put it down to more experience in a street circuit where barriers and barrier wall turns as well as the lines you take into and out of said corners make all that much more difference on top of his skills. SVG did the Tasman proud
@@nameless1873 they almost race the track as two lines , whereas the racing line uses both , he can go closer to the walls because his momentum is more parallel to that said wall , shane be seeing in slow motion I reckon
Grats to the NZ fans! Your dude put on a show!
Congrats to SVG for an epic win! I was there and the crowd went wild those last 5 laps...he gave NASCAR a spanking. To actually be there and see in those last 2 laps...it wasn't EVEN CLOSE! There was a Kiwi here with his 2 young sons in the stands off Michigan Avenue and they seemed to be having the time of their lives. 👍
Let's settle down. He got a lot of help the last 25 laps, so let's keep it all in perspective. He did great, but let's not get carried away.
@@nomadman5288 He had passengers telling him how to drive?
So awesome you could be there and watch SVG dominate!
@@nomadman5288 don’t know,when Kyle Larson and Chase Elliot say he made them look bad because of his talent then I think the excitement is warranted. How could you not be impressed? And he was racing closer to the wall than any nascar driver while driving from the opposite side of the car.
@@Mercmad Not what I mean at all. C'mon now.
I was fortunate to be at the race. After the rain finally cleared out it was a great and amazing race! SVG drove like a champ. This is also a great development for NASCAR, IMO.
As someone who doesn’t watch NASCAR I would definitely tune into if SVG is racing and they did more street circuits
As a yank that got into supercars over the pandemic, it was so incredible to see a classic SVG burn through the field in person. I was ecstatic when he made that epic switchback pass for the win. Up there among his best I’ve seen
That’s awesome you got into v8 Supercars, have you watched any of the vintage Bathurst races with Peter brock and dick Johnson? Classic races for years back then def worth a watch
Nice to hear some positive feedback, a lot of people trying to justify and explain why he was so good.. but really he's just a good driver. I can't wait to see him make the switch
@@Matt_Wilson01 I’ve watched some highlights from the late 70s into the 80s. Those years were wild! I was actually supposed to get down there this year for the 1000 but had some unfortunate circumstances that pretty much nuked the budget for that trip, but I’ll make it work one of these years.
@@jamesmay6674 I think a lot of folks know it was good for the sport. It was an incredibly entertaining race even without Gizzy doing his thing, and I think his success, and NASCAR’s clear desire for more events like this, will draw more folks over. Project91 will be a hall of fame concept IMO
Thankfully, I turned on the tele just as they were showing the last 3 laps of this incredible and historical race....To see SVG work his magic with skill, precision, and talent behind the wheel had me speechless and amazed! I think it's great that he did what hadn't been done in 60 years (take the checkered flag of a NASCAR race in his very first race)!!! What a stellar performance by a great driver! Hopefully, I won't have to wait another 60 years..lol 💯💥✌
Scott McLaughlin beat SVG for 3 years straight, think about that!
Can someone broadcast the NASCAR races in New Zealand again now please?
And Oz!!!!!
Race is up on youtube
@@eyeoforion3 Thanks mate
Well done... NZ Jim Richards.... set a high standard!
I watch Supercars here in the US, almost never watch NASCAR.When I heard SVG was in, it was a must see. Only way it could have been better was if there were some curbs for roller coaster action. Happy Days down under!
SVG....Well done mate. You did it your way, the Kiwi Way.
-1st time they've raced NASCA on a street circuit at this level
- Kiwi wins
- Last time they race NASCA on a street circuit
“Goofed out” is my new favorite kiwi phrase. Hello from Chicago!
That it was a real "street race", which SVG has had a lot of experience racing on, but the other drivers haven't, and that can make a big difference.
The new gen' NASCAR cars are also getting much closer to the Aussie concept, too, which helps.
However, it still needs the basic skills and abilities that SVG has, in spades, in order to capitalise on those factors.
he'll pick up the ovals pretty quickly.
he'll be a danger to those yanks.
i doubt that
@@jeremiahhardel2646and that’s just it buddy, the more he gets doubted the more success he has 🤷♂️
@@HowYaGoin.88 1st of all love the username and 2nd oval racing is completely different from anything he's ever done before
@@jeremiahhardel2646 correct but he’s known to hop in anything and typically does well straight out the gate
@@HowYaGoin.88 On road courses, I'm not saying he can't learn but will definitely not be good on the oval right out of the gate.
Giz for Halbergs.....
better than adasanya
Most certainly got the right person to talk to about NAzzcar. Nate Ryan is the Chris Everett of NASCAR
But we didn't get to see it, 18th to 1st!! Someone dropped the ball...
We are subject to the whims of the American broadcasting, unfortunately.😊
@@greyhamlogan2255 We are subject to the whims of Sky TV NZ.
They never expected it to happen in America why it was never broad casted as much from state side
Yip when he was in 18th his name was never mentioned again until he got to 3rd. Definitely missed an opportunity to tell a story there. Not to mention how the hell he got to 18th when he was 7th out of the pitstop. That Hayley guy talking like he actually raced his way to number 1, he got gifted it when the race length changed, he had already pit stopped so never actually had to claw his way up the feild. Gizz is just next level.
FYI later i found the race had been illegally streamed live on Discord...
not to take anything away from shane hes a champion through and through but those nascar drivers were all rookies (on a street circuit ) and so was shane ( in a left hand drive car ) i watched the last half hour on his in car live feed and he did make them look bad .i cant wait to see him on an oval
Errr....did you HEAR the announcer say this was US top drivers?
@@peterhoare3219e said it was nascars first time running at a street course. that would be like building an oval in AUS and inviting Kyle Larson to drive a Chevy. It’s impressive none the less tho. I’m happy for SVG and hope he makes the jump like Ambrose did
@@ganno24 It's odd cause they had NASCAR here at the Indy races on the Gold Coast at least a decade or two ago
Go the Gizz...
He was driving on the other side of the car as well.
He just lives racing.
I’ll sure the next one he does will be at an oval and he will be just as competitive. He’s one of the best drivers in the world, can drive anything… fast. Awesome to watch
The thing no one seems to have commented on is the adapting to left hand drive so quickly.
He's not totally new to LHD cars, he's raced WRC and GT3 quite a lot too (and done well), he's just one of those annoyingly talented people that can jump in anything and dominate! I would be surprised if he does great on ovals too.
Nascar drivers suck quit giving them credit for that. Indy cars have better drivers so does rally cars . It's all about don't touch my car racing g in nascar.
Hope he comes back over for a few more races! Was fun to watch him!
And SVG did what he did, sitting on the opposite side of the car that he usually drives. Think about that for a sec. Shifting with the opposite hand, the spatial awareness of where the car is in space, yet he was still able to put on a clinic and run that car as close to the wall as he did.
Nascar races usually go for two or three hours and have multiple pit stops, can't imagine where SGV might have gained that kind of experience.
The nascar top dogs he named Kyle larson raced at western springs speedway i maybe wrong correct me if I’m wrong
So good 👌
It was amazing, but let's be honest, most of these driver have very little road course experience. Indy Car drivers on the other hand are a different story.
This is missive newz
(Indycar drivers are the best drivers in America)
There you go a New Zealand driver wow cool well done
Nate?..yo, whattabou' Nathans?..like tha' hot dog eatin' contest deal..ya' anti-dog?..c'mon man y'alls are agin' eatin' dogs?..thas' rully messed up, Jim er, Nate dog..
In a Lefthand drive car !!!!!
SVGs statement about any top 10 V8 Super Car Driver can come there and do what he did. Will have NASCAR going mental.
Shane as the next James Bond ?😊
If you think SVG was good, they're lucky they have never put Mclaughlin in one.
First time in 63 years a driver has won on there debut in the Nascar series. Well done and congrats Shane.
60 years, it was done in 1963.
He was super impressive.
Remember, this was in a race that complimented his Super car background. An Oval track will be more difficult to adjust to, but that been said he might win the lot.😊
I think he would adapt pretty quickly. Looking at his iRacing stats he does more oval racing than road racing and his win percentage this year is 45%!
I know simracing is a different sport, but I have a story that I still believe is relevant. I've had the privilige to join a few private iRacing sessions with SVG and some of the top drivers in the world and I remember a practice session before the 24h at Bathurst where SVG and Verstappen, who as we all know is one of the best simracers in the world, were pushing each other for hours. They were both miles ahead of the rest of us (I was nowhere). Every time Max was faster, Shane would push even harder and beat him, until Max eventually had to give up. Now, Shane wasn't even racing in the 24h race! He was just beating Max for fun!
He is exactly the same in real life. He doesn't seem to care too much about what others think or expect. Every time he is in the car he just wants to go faster than everyone. No matter the car or the competition. He is a master of his craft and perhaps the most talented and hard working driver ever. A pure old school racer with new school skills.
For sure ovals are tricky, but the guy seems to do well whether is an open wheeler or a rally car or a supercar. I think most thought mcglauglin was gonna take while in indycars but is going pretty good considering the background
@@CaptAraldite Yup. And as good as Scotty is, he is more of a specialist than an all rounder like SVG. Both are amazing, and Scott will always be one of the few that can truly outpace Shane over a race distance. But add a few unkown factors and Shane is in a league of his own.
He isn’t a rookie to oval racing also, he would adapt quick but def would be a learning curve for him
Oval would be less taxing..
He'd clean that up also..
Shows how good V8 supercargo are world class
we saw it firsthand with scotty mc in indycar, they are the real deal
Pure perfection, epic win!
Don’t forget not only is he mm from walls, he’s sitting in the wrong bloody side of the car!
Denny isn't one of the best lmao, best cry baby for sure!!
Lets not forget he was racing in a car that is the opposite to the car he normally races. IE sitting on the other side, shifting with the other hand, not sure about the peddles....
Sorry,do i have to turn right, and then left??..
sometimes its about how good you are at slowing down
Even Americans are not the best in their own sports.
is that a photo of wilson wineray on the shelf behind you
No street races but the do, do road courses
Shane gets a side draft from the walls , haha
Yeah Americans use inches, SVG uses mm
Shane for talladega next I hope ,
" cool australian banana s 😎 👌 !" ( shane van gisburgen )
Kiwi bananas baby
Go the giss
Bread and Circuses. Keep an eye on Co governance ...unless you like being scared of having two governments.
NAZCAR ?
GIZCAR
That Australian can drive wow
Sorry but he’s a New Zealander
Congrats go SVG!
He was on 15 lap fresher tires at the end and he had some help with cautions, as well as his closest competition wrecking themselves out those last 25 laps. He wouldn't have won without those things happening.
That said, he's better at this type of racing and that was pretty clear. I'd like to see him try an oval. It's a much different beast and it's what these NASCAR guys do the best.
He's never seen a track like Darlington or Dover, I guarantee you that. They don't seem like much looking because you just see an oval, but they're incredibly challenging tracks.
Not true. His fastest lap in the race was almost a full second faster than anyone else on the fields. He's just simply better at this kind of racing.
he has raced speedway and winged sprint cars, on dirt, he prefers circuits which is what has taken him so long to try Nascar. he adapts very quickly to whatever he races. he has a lot of haters in Aus because he just adapts and wins.
@@ae86rally All that will help, but it'll take some time on these ovals against these guys in these cars. This is their bread and butter.
I don't doubt he'd adapt and do well, but it would take longer than in any other car he could drive because of all the aero issues these cars have that he has never experienced before.
@@jamie8065to be fair, the track was drying out towards the end, he had fresh AF tyres, and once he got the lead, he bolted. The others that were on the same pace weren’t able to. SVG ran an incredible race, but the RNG gods were also looking favourably on him
@@R34_LEGND m8 he got put back to 18th place and screwed with his strategy when they randomly shortened the race, he was just the better driver by a long shot, no 2 ways about it
The best drivers in America drive Indycar. The guy on the phone doesn’t know what he’s talking about there
He was talking in the context of Stockcar drivers.
Are any of the guys in indycar from America
The amount of indycar guys that came over to NASCAR and burned out is staggering. Also keep in mind Kyle Larson is regarded as the the best driver in the world right now
@@dkarre686 By who?
@@dkarre686, Kyle Larson is a talented driver no doubt. But best in the world? Not even close !
And Australia are proud of there son winning
He’s a Kiwi.
He’s a kiwi when he loses , when he wins he’s an Aussie. 🤣. I’m just joking of course.
30 2 go !8th to !st.
