SVG!!! I haven't had a favorite driver since Jimmie Johnson, but I finally have one again. I don't want to watch cars drive in circles, I want to watch a race - and SVG is out there racing, every single time. Love to see it!
They have made questionable moves over the season. Luckily, Sonoma will be Fox’s last NASCAR broadcast of the season. The rest of the season will be USA and NBC network.
Yea he's my guy also. I started following NASCAR in late 92 and all of 93.. picked Jeff Gordon since we were both rookie's ya might say. I think he'll be at least that good . He make me excited to follow NASCAR again..
@@youget2 Shane clawed his way to the very top of Aussie Championship Touring Car Racing where conditions are taxing, severe, crazy fast paced & treacherous even if someone else makes a mistake. Kiwis have raced in Aust successfully for many decades. This started when Jim Richards arrived here from NZ in 1975 to co-drive an L34 308 V8 Torana at Bathurst. Richards went on to win multiple Bathurst Enduro events. If you search YT for Bathurst 1978, you'll see Kiwi Jim Richards co-drive the winning Torana A9X with Peter Brock. This powerhouse Kiwi/Aussie combination went on to win THREE gruelling Bathurst events in a row. Shane is one of our most recent imported superstars. He can race anything, anywhere, against anyone in any conditions & win! We knew Shane would decimate NASCAR. NASCAR is a walk in the park compared to crazy mad Aussie Touring Car Racing. It's borderline unfair to unleash him on unsuspecting NASCAR. He is accustomed to an environment a zillion times more challenging than cruisy NASCAR. Watch any ATCC racing from 2020 to 2023 on YT & you'll soon see how cut throat, bizarre & manic our motorsport here in Aust really is & you'll see Shane cope & win time after time. NASCAR will get shredded by Shane. You can bank on it. Most folks still don't realise just how wholesomely good Kiwi Shane Van Gisbergen really is. He's still learning. The more he learns, the faster he goes. Put your seatbelt on!
SHANE HAD A FEW DAYS OF FROM SUPERCARS,SO JUMPED ON THE PLANE BACK TO NZ, ENTERED NZ GR PRI,OPEN WHEELERS,STARTED LAST FROM PIT ROW ,AND YES HE WON,THIS GUY CAN DRIVE ANY THING WITH WHEELS
They made the kids in those open wheelers in NZ add 15kg weights because Shane is heavier. Would've been a way better way to win if they didn't do that!
The show SVG put on after the checkered flag was golden, great for the fans. Now that's entertainment. Like to see more of this. Hope he wins more races.
That’s our boy, our Kiwi boy…Since SVG has been in the US, that smile has not gone away. It is bigger and brighter than ever before. He is very happy in the US.. Let’s go…Let’s go there is more to come
i still remember SVG's first V8 super cars race many years ago good to see the legend is doing another sport but i swear that man can get any car sideways
Just about any form of motor sport becomes an extension of Shanes body. His past proves that. And he will go down in the history books. So damn proud to be a Kiwi.
SVG from your 1st Bathurst when I met you, I knew you're a crazy ❤ Kiwi. I will always remember Eastern Creek tracks, driving you put all 4 wheels in the grass down straight now that's 🖤 and I knew somehow you were 🖤♥️💯 sideways!!!!
Even though shane is a kiwi he has been in Australia for so long his accent is leaning towards our accent with shades of his home land. Either way us Aussie's love him just like our brothers from other mothers do they dont call us ANZACS for nothing "joke" Australian, New Zealand Army Core soldiers.
@@Distortion-Overdrive in my opinion Chappell was a disgrace and I can't think of a lower act than that underarm ball. Someone should have dropped him on his arse. A deadset wanker tbh all the chapples are crumbs..
@@Distortion-Overdrive It's about time you lot left 1981 behind, It's like you really need something to dislike about Aussies...!!! I'm a Aussie with a kiwi wife...
I watched a different highlight package that didn't include the celebration. I was thinking surely he would have done something awesome. Had to go looking for another one and definitely wasn't disappointed ( or surprised).
SVG making some waves in NASCAR. Good to see him carry the number 97, his always carried number 97 even when he was champion in Supercars (because the reigning champion had number 1 on their car), only except for one race he had number 1 but he always had 97.
I hope so but for whatever reason, none of the circuit drivers that have tried before him could ever really catch on when it came to ovals. Raikkonen couldn't, Montoya couldn't, Taylor couldnt just to name a few. I really do hope he breaks that trend.
@@MelodyMan69 Not sure on Ambrose he was always in the top 10 and top 3 a lot. did well in a underfunded team. a lot said he was burned out from racing and he returned to AUS and only did 1 year of V8 supercars before retired completely. He now pit crew for his daughters go cart racing lol...
AJ shouldnt be mad at himself.. SVG is going to be one of the greatest drivers of his time.. His a freak on 4 wheels and is only going to get better as he and the team learns
"i've never seen someone drift like that, i think that should be his signature".......Mate it IS his signature!
There's not much our kiwi can't,or hasn't done
🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
It is Bro
I'm an American who's been following Shane since he drove a Ford and Mclaughlin was driving Volvo's. Don't worry, we're not all bandwagoners. Lol
no it aint ya tssa
SVG using the track like a drift circuit after winning has to be one of the best celebrations in all of NASCAR history.
He's done pro level drifting in NZ a few years back and he's well known for his victory drifts and burnouts sometimes on the last lap.
@@NZstylz-r7v Not forgetting his rallying and dirt-biking ability.
@@NZstylz-r7v Yes, but it doesn't make it any less awesome. It's just not something you see a stock car doing all too often
Google his win at Bathurst mate. He drifts around the Cup!
That's his trade mark were used to that over here go giz!!!
Thank you kiwi's for giving us this amazingly talented guy. I love watching SVG showing us so much car control.
SVG!!! I haven't had a favorite driver since Jimmie Johnson, but I finally have one again. I don't want to watch cars drive in circles, I want to watch a race - and SVG is out there racing, every single time. Love to see it!
More to come ,Believe me ,HES A TOP DRIVER
Your welcome. Shane has done NZ proud
Check out SVG Supercars highlights. You'll see what we have been really enjoying downunder
@@michaelwagner1517 Welcome to the SVG fan club, that's how he races, he's a born racer.
This guy is a wheelman just wow. Love it for NASCAR, we needed someone like him. He is gonna be a superstar here in the states
Some people say NASCAR on road courses is boring. If everyone could drive like AJ and SVG, they wouldn’t be saying that.
Xfinity is good , cup is boring
@@m.r.h4176 lol
@@m.r.h4176exactly it’s not the tracks it’s the car
@@Eastmetroson Xfinity has been putting on the best show all season.
Xfinity has been the best show in NASCAR for years now and it's not even close. Love how SVG noted how much he loves these cars in the post race.
Breath of fresh air watching this guy race, enjoying all of it.
SVG apologizes to Sam Mayer, contrast that with Austin Hill who plays the victim under the same circumstances.
Yeah and for something from LAP 1! He felt bad for him the ENTIRE race! Stand up competitor.
Even Justin's interview was great. He had no one to blame but himself.
He locked up trying to miss Mayer...
Don’t bring up Hill this is a positive moment.
Cry more
Of course fox priorities a commercial break over a celebration! No wonder people are sick of Fox!
Yea mate , they didn’t get fined a billion dollars for nothing ,
what a joke of a business .. just. Trump sycophants
To be fair I don't think Fox saw that coming
They have made questionable moves over the season. Luckily, Sonoma will be Fox’s last NASCAR broadcast of the season. The rest of the season will be USA and NBC network.
Isn't the US sports in general? A 30 second time out in the NBA goes for 6 minutes to fits commercials in
yeh they wouldn't do that in Australia
Shane typical drifting to celebrate haha. Something new for NASCAR
Super drunk with a huge group of kiwi's watching this in Nz this morning, what a win Shane. The burnout was off the charts baby. SVG!
being a Dale Earnhardt Jr fan SVG is my new favorite driver
I used to cheer for Creed. I still do but when they were battling for second, I absolutely wanted SVG to take it. I think I have a new favorite.
Yea he's my guy also. I started following NASCAR in late 92 and all of 93.. picked Jeff Gordon since we were both rookie's ya might say. I think he'll be at least that good . He make me excited to follow NASCAR again..

Chastain is my guy in Cup but honestly I really like Team Trackhouse as a whole.
The best damn victory celebration I've ever seen.
When SVG won in V8 supercars, he would drift the track. Nobody can drift a race car like SVG
he drives in the NZ rally when his schedule allows it he's damn good at that too, drifting is no problem for the Giz. peace
And then eventually his team in Supercars got mad at him for doing it too much. Said they would have to spend money on too many clutches.
It was sad when he left V8 Supercars but we knew he would do well in the States. Looking forward to seeing him when more races.
Love the fact that just like in Supercars, when he wins, you get a burnout and then a display of his car control with full corner drifts :P
Congratulations Shane well done 🇭🇲🇳🇿👍

Happy for Van Gisbergen! This dude has a great personality!!!
He deserves all!
Fox should be apologizing for going side by side for the best victory burnout
Seriously. That was annoying.
NASCAR needs to ditch FOX. Their coverage is unacceptable.
8:20 its been his signature celebration for years
its like they have never seen him win before, hes been doing it for years
It's because most people have no idea where he came from
@@bigdog66711 you woulda thought the commentators did their research
@@ThijsSH De rigueur for your typical Yanks. Truely clueless, unless the subject is Americana.
Was at this race everybody cheered when SVG took the lead and won

Congrats SVG on your first win. Legend drive. Awesome celebration. 🇦🇺
🇳🇿
The show SVG put on after the checkered flag was golden, great for the fans. Now that's entertainment. Like to see more of this. Hope he wins more races.
Justin gave him a tiny postpass bump, and SVG just tapped the bobble head on the dash and waved
'Bye-Bye'!
His car control is unparalleled!
By far the best " victory lap" !!!!!!!! Drifting at speed and donuts and burnouts , love you shane , you are the man !!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Guy Is Unreal 💯
he going to be the fans favourite
SVG getting it done 😎😎👍

Shane always smokes the tires like that when he wins, he knows how to put on a display
Well Done SVG...All the Best from New Zealand...Com'on Now!
"Send it like Shane" is gonna become a new phrase
Leave it to fox to cut to break during the burnout
Drifting is his 'signature' after a win...
Woohoo! SVG does it again!! Love his style, a great racer showing what he's made of!
Well done Shane from Australia 🦘
Get used to it 🇺🇸 Shane 97 been doing drifting for many years, well done 👏 🏁🏆

Fuck yeh, very happy Kiwi here.🤟

Thanks for the upload. What a champ
Vision of a celebration for the ages with audio from an ad break
Solid work ✊
Oooo well done SVG, good skills 👍 thanks for footage🎉
Great to see Gizzy get his first Xfinity win. He's learning fast!
And Fox needs to go to commercial during an epic winning burnout/drift
Drifting celebrations is an unfamiliar concept to them. They got a lot to learn from Kiwis. The 2 small islands tugged away down under.

Love the drifting celebration that was straight out of V8 Supercars. Also cool to see Ed Jones still racing, didn't know he went to NASCAR.
Such a pleasure watching Shane do his thing in the states!
Yes Gizzy!!! 🎉❤ love your success through hard work and dedication. Keep being you buddy 🤙
Onya mate!!
Never doubted you for a minute👍👍

Awesome job Shane!

very cool, love the full lap drift, though its not the first time he has done it, he did it in V8 Supercars at Hidden Valley one year too
Letting it Rip. What a legend 💯💪
SVG being SVG - Compared to his victory laps in OZ. This was tame.
Proves that SVG is the biggest threat on the Road Courses.
Hope his Oval learning gets him the same results soon. 🇦🇺

Go the Gizzzzzzzz
Kiwi to kiwi shane u are a legend mate keep it up
Everyone wanted to know how he’d celebrate…now we know lol so look out for a lot of rugby balls flying into the stands in the future
And he even signs the ball before kicking it, what a champ!😁
Nice one. Love the end.
I thought that was kurt Busch taking the win in the blk 97
Can I just mention how damn good Ross Chastain is in the booth?
He’s learning and teaching… 😂😂😂
Congratulations Te Giz
Thats your Boy, up there with the most talented of all time.
AJ shouldnt be mad at himself.. SVG is going to be one of the greatest drivers of his time.. His a freak on 4 wheels and is only going to get better as he and the team learns

Drifting after a win is Gizzy's trademark move. Legend
And we had to listen to commercials the whole time......
Yeah that's pretty lame.😊
😅😅😅
You don't become one of the best wheel men in the world on road courses by accident. SVG is a class act and he's just getting started
Next year he’s gonna be popping
😂😂😂 typical SVG. Massive burnout and drift celebrations. hahaha just about blew the cxxt up!! 😂😂
Is this the full race or what if so will be watching and do you show every race yes a kiwi 🥝 fan of SVG. Would definitely subscribe if you do
