So svg was racing for trackhouse racing and their project 91 car which is meant for international drivers from different forms of racing who want to race nascar. Kimi Räikkönen is another notable driver of this car. Shane literally showed up and outclassed the field on his first try. No one has won in their debut since 1963. I hear the Gen 7 actually is pretty similar to a supercar. Maybe that’s why he was so good. And yes. Jenson Button has been doing some nascar racing lately. If Jimmie Johnson were able to race this weekend, that would’ve been a hell of a star studded field. You can look up what happened with him and why he couldn’t for yourself. It’s tragic.
Blew my mind to find out Pitbull/ “Mr worldwide” is co-owner of project 91.. not a fan of his music, but I’m a fan of what he did here.
Love Kimmie, but he's used to driving cars, finesse wise. SVG knows how to send it lap after lap. This is not gentleman's racing. Closet guy to this mentality is Gibbs grandson. Ty has never paid for anything in his life, so he will send it also.
there american people get use to announcers in america buchering foreign peoples names
Yea it's similar but our jiggers have more speed and thinner tyres
Noah Gragson is gonna have PTSD from that turn 6 tire barrier.
As a huge NASCAR Fan, I'll shed my two cents on the race:
Firstly, congrats to SVG. Amazing what he was able to do and hope to see him at Trackhouse Racing. How he was able to cleanly work his way up and drive past top-tier drivers is incredible
Now, one big thing in NASCAR is strategy. Especially in the coming years after stage racing was put into place. Shortening the race definitely threw teams out of the loop and played heavily on positioning. Secondly, with this being the first street course in NASCAR history, drivers were definitely out of their alley. And with that, the track width was significantly shorter, making it difficult to pass compared to typical passing. Thirdly, rain. To put it simpsimplySCAR cars don't do rain.
I feel with this being the first street course was an astounding success. With that, a lot can be learned from this race, and can help improving future events. I do like the introduction to street course, but as Eric Estepp said, "Ovals are NASCAR's bread and butter." Many Opening possibilities to states with no oval to host races. I do like the attention and traction this event was able to pull and thought it was an okay representation of our beloved sport.
Great content, Amy! Keep up the good work!
because he is a king of street circuit svg is
Put him on a oval and he would be a lap down in 10 laps
@@acidsquidartstudio2154YEAH...... a lap down in 10 laps just like what happened to McLoughlin in the Indy Cars...... oh wait, didn’t McLoughlin win his first oval race, in an F1 type open wheel car ?
Don’t be a MUPPET...... SVG might not ever be a top gun on the NASCAR ovals, but he has already succeeded at speedway in sprint cars, in rally cars, Le Mans type sports cars and other sports cars, etc etc.
Just as Marcos Ambrose proved to be super quick on Ovals the 2 or 3 times he was given a competitive car, SVG might surprise the establishment as well.
Let’s just hope that if SVG does give NASCAR a try, that he gets a competitive car to race and they do NOT bring back those crappy “SPECIAL” tyres they used to noble Marcos on street courses.
Remember those tyres used at Sonoma...... the ones that only lasted 5 laps on a quick car, but lasted well on the super slow cars. lol
In all fairness to the NASCAR drivers, street and road racing is not their go or sport....... oval racing is very different to road racing and street racing is harder than road racing.
SVG is a road and street TOP GUN, one of the best in the world and maybe one of the best EVER.
To be fair to SVG....... the car itself was right in his wheel house, but he needed time to get comfortable with the left hand drive set up and the drivers aspect to cornering from the WRONG side of the car...... very difficult to hit the apexes and be sure of track limits.
He probably needed about 50 laps to get really comfortable with the car and the track....... but he never got comfortable with the sub standard race tyres.
NASCAR never use 1st Class race tyres from a top tier tyre manufacturer.
SVG has never before raced on such an amateur and cheap tyre ..... and he didn’t like that experience..... even though he did enjoy the car, track, other drivers and the experience.
Hi, Watch top 9 SVG wins of 2022.
Interested on your thoughts of these drivers. Cheers
I had a feeling you'd do a video on this despite not doing a Nascar video in a little while. As a Nascar fan, I'd love to see SVG come to Nascar long term, he put on a hell of a show. The big question is how he'd deal with ovals., because they are a whole different beast.
of course, could never miss a chance to talk about SVG! I think he would do well in NASCAR particularly the road courses but yeah we would have to see about ovals.
He is active on the Iracing simulator scene and does a bunch of oval racing. Although it's a video game i am sure he would have no issue making the move to Oval racing.
he will smash ovals. won't take him long. look at McLaughlin. Shane is a much more dirty racer. people don't know him and keep making assumptions 😂 they know him now !
More impressed frankly with his win driving on the “other” side of the car. Here in NZ we drive on the left with the driver on the right side seat, so totally different feel and to overcome years of habit looking opposite angles and to gauge how close the walls are. He’s such a good driver to adapt so well. As for street circuits that’s all they are in Supercars so the drivers there are used to it. He also had a bit of luck with the rain taking out so many cars, but good enough to stay out of trouble and overtake when he could.
These aren't Indycars and IndyCar is primarily road and street with 5 ovals and 12 road. NASCAR has 30 oval races and 6 road. The main issue in Cup cars on ovals is the aero. It's not just about driving the car and hitting apexes, in fact, most ovals don't really have a proper apex. The aero plays a huge part on the oval tracks and sims can't really replicate that. It can give you an idea, but it's not the same. You're also racing drivers that have been driving these tracks year after year. What SVG is on road circuits, NASCAR drivers are on ovals.
With some time I think he could have some success, but it would probably be the biggest challenge in his racing career.
watched this race and got my parents to tune into the ending from watching the Gold Cup games because of how historic it was. My dad said, "what a cool race!" I've been anticipating an international guest driver winning and really thought it'd be Verstappen because of his talent but it should have been obvious that it'd have been a super car driver
I would like like to see SVG back in Chicago next year to defend his title. He put on an extremely impressive race.
Hey there from WESTERN AUSTRALIA, if you have time, watch, top 9 SVG wins of 2023.
Jenson Button has one more race in the #15 car and it's at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course in a few weeks or early August i can't remember exactly but i know it's this month or next month. Jenson also raced in 24 Hours of Le Mans in a NASCAR Cup Series modified next gen car in June
I'll have to catch the race in August then!
@@amycolef1 yeah if you've never been to indy ya gotta go atleast once. Make sure you take the basement tour at indy motor speedway's museum. Micheal shoemacher's bettaton F1 Race car was down there. I want to go do that again. The depth of history there is crazy.
@@amycolef1 Yes, Jenson Button will be racing the No.15 again at Indy Road Course; Kamui Kobayashi will also be in the race in the No.67 Toyota. The race date is August 13 over here.
Amazing racing despite the criticism who thought that this Chicago Street Course race would have been a complete fiasco. SVG was outstanding but I'm not surprised, that man can wheel the hell out of every racecar. Haley did an amazing job, so far the best race of his Cup Series career considering that Kaulig Racing is not a top tier team, bit of disappoint for him to lose his second Cup Series win, but the kid is only 24, he will have other chances in the future.
Shane is known for sending it way deep into the corner, doing so while other drivers watch in amazement.
To answer your stage question, yes. Top 10 get points. Now normally there’s a caution at the end of the stage. They removed that for road courses.
One thing more impressive about Shane's win is that he did it sitting on a different side of the car. Then he normally drives shifts with a different hand and had to use a clutch pedal that they normally don't use. Virtually it was like sword fighting using his other arm.
Supercars have a clutch as well but your able to flat shift on up shifts and only need the clutch on down shifts
Excellent video! Cheers from Minnesota.
Usually, at the end of a stage, a caution flag comes out as a little break. The top 10 at the end of a stage gets a certain amount of points. But this year, the road course races don't have breaks at the end of a stage, they just keep it green.
The 91 car is a part time entry from the normally two car team Trackhouse Racing owned by Justin Marks and Pitbull (yes that Pitbull). The 91 car is designed for international drivers from other disciplines to have a high quality race car to test the waters in Nascar. They've done three races now with the first two being run with Kimi Raikonnen. You should see some more fun international names in that car in the future, especially now
I love these nascar videos you do! SVG will be racing at Daytona in February as well! Lots of drivers from F1, super cars, etc have been trying their hand at NASCAR racing lately and it has been very entertaining to see! Hope you stick around the nascar sphere awhile cause it’s certainly getting interesting!
Overtime is a two lap shootout and and it's done to try and finish the race under green conditions. They didn't used to do that, but they changed it because fans were getting tired of races finishing under caution. They actually listened, which they rarely do haha
I come from the same country as SVG so to say I was excited that he won this race is an understatement. I have even met him too when he was still driving for SBR which was awesome too.
love seeing the international drivers like kimi jenson svg and the other f1 guys racing svg said he moght race full time after he finishes one more season in aus i never heard of svg but he was great i love supercars as well even though i dont know the drivers i only follow f1 nascar like that
You should do more nascar reactions. Nascar are designed for ovals and good to to see these cars out of there comfort zone. You should do highlights of the cokacola 600 in 2022. That was action packed racing that race
Attention Hore
For a little context, this was the first time NASCAR raced on a street course, which SVG has much experience at. Also, road courses are the only places they race in rain, and have only been doing that for a couple years. SVG taught these guys how it's supposed to work, with style! 😊😊
Hi Amy, I just subscribed, excellent win from SVG, alot of talent in aus ,nz ,also looking forward to liam Lawson,s debut in F1 ,hopefully not to far away.
Stage racing came about because they wanted a method to make people race hard the complete race and not lay back. Also it let the field reset and bunch the cars back up for another restart which is more exciting. It also gave advertisers away to run commercials without taking away from the action. The stage racing points have become very important getting into the playoffs. On road courses there are no cautions thrown at the end of each stage, only on ovals do they throw a caution and reset the field. On road courses they give the stage points at a certain lap but they just continue to run without a caution. Also in NASCAR restarts are side by side in this case because of the wet weather they did restart single file which led to a better start of no big pile-ups at the first turn.
what he's trying to say is that nascar has a problem of keeping the dam of legitamacy from staying strong, because nascar doesn't know how to inforce rules like F1 and they have problems with the points format and controversay rules, and silly bullshit
Congrats on Shane Van Gisbergen's win, respect. I love to see cool people win. My favorite driver is Martin Truex Jr. (#19 - NASCAR), and he is a very cool person as well and usually a pretty good road course racer himself. ... I was a Nigel Mansell fan in years past, if you remember him. Just sayin'. ... Anyways, nice video. ... Stay cool, Miss Amy.
To be fair to most of the top 10, including the 31 who SVG passed for the lead, they were on 15 lap older tires so they had no chance to hold him off. It definitely helped a lot throughout then final 20 laps, especially the last 10. Put that advantage with a World Class road/street racer in top equipment and it's the perfect storm for such a driver. I've been watching NASCAR since I was 5(34years), so I have seen road racers do well. This "Next Gen" or Gen 7 car is so different from the cars they used to run and much more like sports cars and Supercars than the previous generations of cars.
I was cheering for him towards the end, so I'm not trying to lessen the accomplishment, just keep things in perspective. NASCAR has never done a street race until now. Their bread and butter is the ovals. It would be interesting to see SVG on an oval like Dover, Bristol or their most challenging track, Darlington. NASCAR drivers are decent road racers, but they're elite on ovals. That's what these guys grew up doing, racing at local short tracks and moving up the ranks. Most grew up on pavement, but 3 of the biggest talents we have here actually grew up on dirt ovals. Those drivers being Kyle Larson(#5), Tyler Reddick(#45), and Christopher Bell(#20). Larson is possibly the best dirt racer in the US and still competes during the week in a series he co-owns and in the "World of Outlaws," which is the premier dirt series. He races half a dozen different dirt cars, the main one being Winged Sprint Cars. They're absolute beasts! 1400lbs with driver and over 900 horsepower.
If that sounds cool as hell, just search "Kyle Larson World Of Outlaws" and check it out for yourselves. In 2021, the same year Larson won 10 races and a NASCAR title, he also won roughly 50% of all the dirt races he competed in that season and 1/3 of all the races he competed in, 33 wins in 97 total races. It's one of the greatest seasons of probably any driver in auto racing history.
Larson is also going to cross over for the Indy 500 next season and do "the double," which means two races in the sameday - the Indy 500 at around noon and the Coca-Cola 600 in the evening. Everyone here will be watching that weekend to see how he does.
Excuses Excuses Excuses there were were many drivers on the same pit strategy and same tyres as SVG
@@fc7424 Excuses for what exactly? I simply stated some facts about the situation towards the end of the race for more context because she didn't watch the race.
SVG drove and won this race right handed instead of left. And on the left hand side of the car. And he won. That's just amazing.
Also my favorite driver was the white black and orange one in third
Very exciting race! Although Supercar series is smaller, Nascar is actually adopting a lot of Supercar stuff into it's race formats. Bravo SVG! If he was only driving a Ford. Oh well...
For the sake of competition, I suggest watching Indycar races. It's a spec series and way more fun to watch than F1 lately.
yes NASCAR have now stage races. 3 stages. The first two stages, if you finish the top 10 at the Green/white checkered on the first 2 stages You get points. Stage 3 is where everyone gets points. Now if you win any of the first 2 stages, you get points for Playoffs. In stage 3, if you win that stage, not only you get playoff points but you have locked your spot into the playoff chase. Stage 1 winner = playoff point Stage 2 winner = playoff point Stage 3 = Winner of the full race, automatic lock into the playoffs and playoff points
Shane's got 1 more year (2024) in Supercars he said and then maybe he'll do NASCAR in 2025 and he might even do another race in the #91 car for Trackhouse Racing/Project 91
yeah, I agree! I think he might want to move on from Supercars soon
well done foer making the main footage big, and your commentray windo small. Thats a pro move I appreciate.
Also nice pace.. just the right amount of talking.
Well playted.
Yeah I'm a huge NASCAR fan and they were racing on A street course for the first time in the sports 75 year history. Also SVG is only the 6th or 7th ever in NASCAR history to win in their first start ever.
Aussies and Kiwis so proud of him. He’s really made a big impression in the USA. I wish they could relax the laws here for their drivers to come to Australia and New Zealand and have a go at Supercars.
They shortened the race because of approaching darkness, then the race went into overtime based upon the shortened distance.
SVG is the first New Zealander to win in NASCAR, making New Zealand the sixth different foreign driver to win in the NASCAR Cup Series (after Marcos Ambrose [Watkins Glen 2011-2012], Mario Andretti [1967 Daytona 500], Juan Pablo Montoya [Sonoma 2007 and Watkins Glen 2010], Earl Ross [Martinsville 1974], and Daniel Suarez [Sonoma 2022]).
I didn't catch in most of the comments that someone didn't answer a couple of your questions (and if they did, my bad on the extra explanation). So stage racing in NASCAR is just that, parts of the race cut into different segments. But it's something that can seem all over the place from someone outside of the sport. So each race has 3 stages (with the exception of the Coke 600 which has 4 because it's 600 miles/956.6 km as compared to a 500 mi/804.7 km event) and each stage length varies. There isn't exactly a set standard for the length of each stage, but they generally range from 20-30% of the total race distance for the first two stages and then 40-60% for the third stage. The reason for the variance is meant so that both the first and second stage will require the teams to make a single pit stop if the entire stage goes green with no caution. Points are awarded to the stage winner and to the top 10 finishers in the stage, which is a very big deal because of how much impact there is. So stage one and two each pay out 10 points for first, 9 for second, 8 for third and so on. And then at the end of the race, it's the standard 40 points for first, 39 for second, 38 for third, and again so on. So getting as many stage points on top of the overall points pay is especially crucial because that's going to affect the championship picture (which I'm gonna complicate really quickly). The biggest importance for winning the stage however is that it earns them what's known as a Play Off point.
I'm gonna apologize now because I'm realizing that this is about to be a text wall, so I'm gonna do the best I can. So NASCAR runs 38 events in the season. 2 events are exhibitional (The Clash at the very start and The All-Star about 10 or 11 races into the season), the first 26 points paying races are what's known as the regular season, and the final 10 are known as the Playoffs. And it works just as it sounds. 3 races each for 3 rounds, the final race is for the championship. Now to qualify for the playoffs, there's two different ways. As long as you are a full time competitor, if you win a race in the first 26 races, you're in (unfortunately SVG isn't qualified because he doesn't race NASCAR full time). And each win earns you 5 play off points. That means if you can win the first two stages and the overall race, that earns you 7 play off points. The second way is to point your way in. The Playoffs consists of 16 drivers. So winners have first seed. After that is based on points. So for example if in the top 20 drivers there are 12 race winners, the 12 winners will be qualified, even if 3 of them are outside of the top 16 in points. So the more winners, the more important points are for those who haven't won. And in the absolutely insane chance that that there are more than 16 winners (which almost happened last year with 15), those with the most playoff points get in. Sounds confusing for sure, I don't blame you. Once you get yourself wrapped around the idea, it's actually very simple, but at first, very confusing.
Now, here's where playoff points (via stage or race wins) come in with a massive importance. Once the playoffs start, it goes from 16 drivers to 12, to 8, and then the final 4 in a winner takes all. To get into the next round, you either have to win or earn the points. And each round resets the points. However, playoff points don't reset. So if you enter the first round with 14 playoff points and advance to the next round, you start that round with 14 points (or more if you won a stage or a race). Make it to the final round, then all points are out the window, you just have to finish ahead of the other 3 drivers to win the championship. Also, you still have race all the other cars who aren't eligible for the championship in each of those races. I mean a 312 mi/502 km race with only 4 cars on track is kinda boring. Which means you can finish 5th in that last race, but if you finish ahead of the other 3, congratulations on your championship.
Okay, so how does explaining the championship format tie into the explanation of stage racing? Because it goes back to the point where it can seem all over the place. Now before this season, every track followed the same format. Run stage 1, full course caution. Run stage 2, full course caution. Then all out to the checkered. Now while the main problem overall is a very contested argument for every NASCAR fan being that the racing was essentially being broken up, it was practically universal in the agreement for this problem affecting road courses. Because of the various methods to save fuel on a road course, it meant that you could run a full stage without needing to pit for fuel or tires. Now it would seem like a simple premise, run well enough to win the first stage, come in to pit, repeat stage two, and then go for the win. Problem though was what became known as flipping the stage. So if you came down pit road right before the end of the stage for fuel and tires, when the next stage started, you'd be out in front of all the others who pit during that caution. Sure, you'd miss out on winning that stage for an extra playoff point. But it kept you out front, which meant it kept you in position to win the race. And as I explained earlier, a win is 5 playoff points. And if you haven't already won, it's a greater incentive to win the race and gain those 5 playoff points than it would to just earn 1 or 2. So begining this season, NASCAR decided to skip the full course cautions only at the road courses at the end of each stage. Which meant that strategy actually meant something for road courses instead of flipping stages. It's improved the road course races drastically (at least in my opinion).
As for your other question regarding Overtime (presented by Credit One Bank, gotta get that good ol' American capitalism in there lol), that's actually very simple. NASCAR wants to be able to give fans a green flag finish. Having a race end under yellow can be frustrating for fans of any motorsport. I mean you've got a fantastic side by side battle for the lead, they're switching positions every corner practically, a third car comes into the mix, and holy hell this is shaping up to be one of the best finishes of the year aaaaannnd then a car in the back gets destroyed, and brings out the caution with 2 laps to go. Goodbye awesome finish. So NASCAR decided about a decade ago at this point to implement what's known to us as Overtime, simply because it's going past the scheduled distance, which gives the chance to have one last good battle for the win. Rules are simple, if a caution comes out that would extend past the scheduled distance, it now becomes 2 laps to go. All the caution laps get ran for a clear track, green flag drops, 2 laps to go. If there's a caution in the first lap, rinse and repeat, now we got another overtime finish. If they complete that first lap without a caution and they take the white flag, the next flag ends the race, doesn't matter if it's a caution flag or the checkered flag. For the most part a large majority of the fan base enjoys it, but it can get pretty ugly at the same time. All you have to do is check out this year's race at Circuit of The Americas (which Jensen Button did run by the way, and hilariously said that that single race played out like an entire season of F1), and you can see the ugly side of Overtime finishes. It's kind of become a running gag as to whether or not that race is actually finished at this point lol.
And then although I don't think you actually posed the question for this or not, but I'll throw in some additional in regards to the overall reduced distance. So normally the only reason why a race would have it's scheduled distanced shortened is because of weather. Obviously on ovals, rain will do this, but as long as the race completes either 50% of the scheduled distance (or stage two, which is already past 50% to begin with, which makes it absurdly stupid to think about), the race can be considered official. So if the race goes caution free for the first 198 laps of a 400 lap race, caution gets called for rain, once the caution laps put it at 201, it's a official race if they can't get back to green flag conditions by the end of the day. Obviously however, road courses are a little different to that because we've got tires now for us to race in wet weather conditions (check out the 2021 race at CotA to see where we learned our limitations in wet weather). Despite that fact though, we are still limited by the unfortunante truth that is day light. And while Chicago does indeed have street lights, their lighting system isn't sufficient enough for us to safely run in the dark as we obviously don't have actual headlights, no matter how friggin cool it made the Garage 56 car look this year at Le Mans. So NASCAR made the decision to reduce the scheduled distance, and in that decision, they accounted for enough time to have for a potential overtime finish (which in this case, was still within regulation, but hey, we're Americans, can ya blame us? Lol)
Once again, I do apologize for the wall of text, but I hope that helps answer some questions for you.
He actually said in his interview that he would be in Australia in 2024 or one more year and then he said he would love to be be full time in the NASCAR cup series
SVG has a weird thing he does. When he is in the beginning stages in a race, he falls back hard, but at the last stages he dominates everything. This happens in every V8 supercars race in his AMPOL RedBull Team
It was the first time a driver won a race on their debut in 60 years
Idk if you heard but Shane's coming back to NASCAR next year in all 3 series
The way stages work in NASCAR is actually fairly simple. Stage 1 and 2 tend to be around 1/4 and 1/4 the distance and the Final Stage is 1/2. Longer races usually split completely into 1/3's. The first two Stages are simply automatic full course cautions where the top 10 drivers are given playoff points good for the final ten races where NASCAR resets the top 16 drivers in points and essentially runs an elimination tournament. The "Final Stage" is really just the end of the race if you will.
Its a way to create drama throughout the race by incentivizing drivers to race hard and accumulate points for the final stretch of the season. On Road Courses, however, the top 10 in each stage gets the points but the race stays green. Only the Ovals is there cautions during a stage. It creates strategic drama by splitting the pace of the race up. Usually teams not in contention will pit before a stage, the race leaders pit during the stage break, and essentially the field is flip flopped.
NASCAR fans are split on Stage racing. The average TV fan will probably treat it as a halftime like in a football game but racing purists think its a gimmick way to entertain fans at the expense of professional racing sometimes being boring. As someone who considers themself diehard but not a purist, I dont really mind the stages. It definitely does its job and you can usually find some good battles in the top half of the field trying to squeak into the top 10 for points.
He’s had a stellar weekend for sure, from my own selfish perspective I wouldn’t like to see Shane go to a full time NASCAR drive, I think him racing ovals would be a waste of his talents but if it his dream then I hope he gets there.
I really look forward to watching the Supercars and it’s mainly because of Shane so it’d be a bit off a bummer to see him go, I also wonder if Jess would follow him over particularly since she’s a big NASCAR fan..
60 years is a longgg timee
one thing you should know about nascar is we don't race in the rain often. racing in the rain is very new to nascar since we have expanded the number of road courses on the schedule
Well, that’s what you get when you take a V8 Supercar driver to the USA and whack him on a street circuit with a few disadvantages for him to adapt and turn his thinking around and basically play with the Americans and showed them how to stick a car in and out of a corner. Good win NZ ❤ FROM AUS. 👍
I watched his incar and the last 10 laps he used every rpm and engine as extra brake. The incar, I heard sounds I never heard before.
Heel and toe and right foot braking, the US boys will be taking note and working on it for road and street next year
Yes points for each stage for the top 10.
Earlier this year Kimi Raikkonen and Jenson Button were in a NASCAR Race together
And it was absoultely fantastic... until the last... do we know how many laps were at the end? Are they still figuring out how many laps that were ran under caution and Overtime? Lol
Great race but I wish we could have seen more of Jenson Button this race. He had a great qualifying effort.
As good as the Giz?
Remember, SVG isn't the first from supercars to win in nascar. That title would go to Marcos Ambrose, who was full time 08 to 14 getting 2 wins 2 years in a row at Watkins Glen 2011 and 2012 beating out Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch who would go on to win championships. Ambrose's battle with Keselowski has to be one of the most iconic finishes in Nascar history and what makes the win even more impressive is that Keselowski would become the 2012 champion meaning for just a moment Ambrose was better than a champion.
If you aren't champion, then winning any race means you're better than the champion for that moment. That's a gimmie.
You watching SVG today at COTA? would be a dope live stream of the race!
He had a great battle for the win yesterday in the lower series with Kyle Larson and they are going to go at it again today
SVG is a special talent
SVG said in Victory lane that he wants to race in the US after his contract ends in 2024.
His team owner tripple Eight Racing has announced if SVG wants to go to NASCAR that they will fully support him and wont stand in his way.
If you were wondering why so many people crashed during the race NASCAR has never raced on a Street Course before this race. The drivers also had to deal with wet conditions which drivers do not often have to race in due to only being able to race on Road Courses or Short Tracks which take up much less of the schedule then the traditional ovals NASCAR races on.
Excuses Excuses Excuses
I called for a collab for NASCAR and Supercars and I think we can expect something down the road. I say a 12 race at both Bathurst and Daytona Road course layout
now that i would love to see!
Drivers do get points at the end of each stage; more specifically the top 10 with the stage winner receiving a bonus point for the playoffs. (Yes, NASCAR has playoffs. It's kind of stupid, especially with the elim style they have now.) Typically, they would put out a yellow at the end of each stage, and for this season, they opted to not throw yellows at the end of the stages for road courses since they're much shorter distance wise than a typical oval race. Most oval races are around 300-400 miles with the occasional 500 or even 600 mile race while most road course races in NASCAR are around 250-300 miles, give or take. Honestly, they shouldn't throw out yellows at the end of stages regardless of which track they're at, but it's a step in the right direction.
SVG won last year. A great achievement for a rookie nascar driver. But the same race is coming up again. Can he repeat it? Lets see.
18:35 60 years.
You haven't done anyting NASCAR related in a long time.
it has been a while!
@@amycolef1 I need to do a whole lot more NASCAR and catch up on this season
Nice job
Supercars had a race in Texas full house everyday cota
Awesome 'Giz'...
Dont mean to sound rude but
SVG to nascar isnt going to be smooth
It does mainly matter what car he gets in
Track house would give him good shots to win at roadcourses but in ovals i expect him to finish 25-30th
And this win although historic and very impressive does have a huge luck factor with the race being shortened
The first street course race
The rain
But its impressive he didnt make many mistakes and he deserves the win nonetheless
as a kiwi I've watched the giz for years, he deserves all the good things his way after the heartbreak of bathurst '14. he's learnt so much since then. he'll go to nascar and destroy ovals after a few runs. he loves the bumper to bumper and door to door bump and run style.
f1 has become more boring than the high-school carting champs, indycar is brilliant but supercars is still the best production in the world.
NASCAR is the best motorsport
NASCAR fans HATE to have a race end on a yellow flag. As a result, many years ago, NASCAR made the rule that if the yellow flag is in effect at the end of the race, the race will be lengthened until the final 2 laps are under a green flag. The results is an overtime of a green flag, then a white flag, then a checkered flag...Green White Checkered overtime. If the 2 lap "shootout" results in another yellow, they do another 2 lap Green White Checkered overtime as many times as it takes to finish under green. One caveat, though. If, during an overtime, the leader takes the white flag, then the next flag ends the race whether it's yellow or checkered. Many races have been lost during overtime because the leader ran out of gas during overtime.
It's been 60 years since a driver won in his first NASCAR race, not 6. Johnny Rutherford did it in 1963 at Daytona.
***********Heads Up**********
SVG is back Oct 13th!
Along with Brodie”bush”Kostecki!
I hope this comment reaches u in time… on October 13th at 1:30pm local time (idk the conversion time for u) SVG will be back for his second race in Nascar. Along with a debut for V8 Supercar racer, Brodie Kostecki. As well as endurance racings, kamui kobayashi and returning British F1 champ jenson button. I hope u can check it out live somehow.
Also, I wanted to say that stages wins are rewarded with playoff points. Nascar has 36 races a season. After 26, anyone who’s either won a race or are in the top 16 in points go into a 10 week playoffs called “chase for the cup. Points from stages r used as almost a head start in points when the playoffs begin, making them valuable because after every 3 races in the playoffs, 4 drivers r eliminated, until the final race that has 4 championship contenders. I hope this helps. Oh and in the post race interviews SVG said he has 2 more years under contract in the v8 supercars series but said he’d be interested in possibly joining nascar after that. Keep up the great content and I hope to see a reaction video to the Indianapolis road race lol
Winning i reAkon
How is this showing up in my feed.
Gotta love the look of these nascar cars, so much better looking than the rather ( in my opinion) ugly Supercars in Australia. Very sleek and not the basic shaped sedans we get here.
A street race in Chicago isn't Nascar.
If we didn't have stages and overtime it would be seen more as "boring" 2 us yanks I guess.
Just imagine spending YEARS making a left after a left after a left after a left and then suddenly a NASCAR driver has to make a right turn!!!!!!! OMG To them it's the end of the world. I don't know if road racing will survive in NASCAR since all they do is drive one direction.
So Sonoma, Watkins Glen, and Road America were a joke to you?
I don’t know how the broadcast is over seas but here in America. There’s a commercial break every 5 minutes and I can’t stand it. The race was awesome. But the broadcast was miserable. I’m never watching a nascar race again. Even though I like the racing.
there american people get use to announcers in america buchering foreign peoples names
Since you're a redbull fan ill let ya know there was a redbull team in nascar
Ran for 6 seasons with Toyotas
2 wins the 1st in 2009 at Michigan with Brian Vickers and the other in 2011 at Phoenix with Kasey Kahne
Other Notable drivers were former CART driver AJ Allmendinger and former F1 driver Scott Speed
Also i know while not a redbull driver but Australian V8 supercar driver Marcus Ambrose won 2 nascar cup races and i think 5 nascar nationwide (nascars f2) races with atleast 1 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve
kool
Surprising that a pretty girl likes Motorsport like I do lol😅😂❤

Amy-- have you ever sat behind the wheel of any type of formula style race car? Or drove one? Dallara (indycar chassis manufacturer) on the main drag of speedway Indiana (where Indianapolis motor speedway is) was giving rides in a 2 seat STREET LEGAL indycars around speedway's main drag the weekend of the indy 500.
Watching the fatter people try to "un-suction-cup" themselves out of those 2 street legal indycars was very
Hilarious 😂.
Should be renamed to F1 fan watches race.
They way they all moved over for him, one would think it was rigged. Crapcar can’t wait to take that puke car to other countries. Far cry from stock car racing
that track was terrible layout. 12 turns and 7 were 90 degree's
The 91 car has been driven by all kinds of different types of drivers of different types cars
