Van Gisbergen Shines at North Wilkesboro | Nascar News

Shane van Gisbergen delivered a career-defining night at North Wilkesboro, leading 49 laps — his most on a traditional oval in a Cup Series race — and even briefly took the race lead, all while joking on the radio about what to do next. Though he lost the lead to tire wear on the final corner, he celebrated a solid fifth-place finish that boosted him to 14th in the Chase standings. The track’s road-course-like feel let him use his signature right-foot braking, and the performance marked his seventh top-ten of the season — tying his career best. It’s clear van Gisbergen is proving himself a consistent, rising force on the circuit. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
