Since this video is gaining some traction from all the Aussies and Kiwis out there I just wanna say: I've been a Supercars and SVG fan since 2020 and I have watched him race (and win in) pretty much everything from V8's to GT cars to drift cars and now NASCAR. This win meant a lot to me because now people are finally realizing that this wonderful series can produce some big league talent like Ambrose, Skaife, Lowndes, Whincup, Scotty Mac, and now SVG and it's surely a step in the right direction for people outside of Australia and New Zealand to start paying attention to V8 Supercars as one of the top forms of motor racing in the world.
I think Cam Waters would have a massive crack at Nascar road and street as well,but he's been massively overshadowed by the state of the series,by which i mean Chev having a stupidly massive advantage over Ford
As an Australian all I can say is strap yourselves in if he comes over there full-time, the guy is a freak, when he has a good car and is in a good headspace him winning is inevitable like Thanos. Shane is right up there straight away no matter what he sits in, look at his rally, Daytona 24 hour, and sprint car records, if he does a full year I'm confident he'll win on ovals because that's just the sort of thing he does. I'm not a fan of him by the way, as an Australian it's hard to idolise a Kiwi, but credit where credit is due, he's at the white hot tip of the speer of racing talent for sure. I'm sick of him winning all the time for the last few years here in Australia, which as I said is inevitable.
The guy is the ultimate dark horse, he has the form as a racing driver to do anyhting well but most people don't even know who he is, that won't be the case any longer. Any NASCAR team that doesn't make him an offer will regret it eventually. The guy is a freak with a track record of success in multiple racing disciplines
I was watching from the Monster booth in pit lane and MAN it was a blast seeing the moves he was putting on cars down the start/finish straight. Seemed like every couple of laps we saw a level of brilliance you rarely see. SVG is undeniably one of the greatest living motorsports athletes in the world. If he happens to hop into ovals and be a natural too, the dude's career is gonna be one for the history books.
As an Aussie, I absolutely love the whole Nascar/Supercar crossover concept. I'd LOVE to see some Nascar drivers come over here, and more Aussies/Kiwis head over there. It's a win-win situation as far as I can see.
SVG is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. I’ve been fortunate to meet him a few times over the years at Supercars events in both Australia and New Zealand.
Meet the guy on thee street, sure he's not a bad guy. Meet him on a racetrack, he's an ABSOLUTE MONGREL. But then name ANY race driver who is not like that.
Here's my take on that race: good racing, good cars, great sound and they are way stronger than Gen3 Supertaxi's going by some of the hits on the day. I haven't seen Shane this happy for a number of years, his interview was full of smiles and openness and he didn't have to toe the Supertaxi line when he opened his mouth. With limited testing, new car, new team, new track, new drivers and left hand hook, it was a big scenario to overcome, well he smashed it for a 6. Kudos to SVG, he's got some seriously gifted talents. 🙂 One happy boy on the day... he looked like the cat that swallowed the canary... and so well he should. 🙂

I went to Bathurst to watch the 12h endurance race. SVG driving a Mercedes. He drove the wheel's off that long nosed coup. Something special about being track side at skyline and watching a GT car worth several million dollars airborne @ 300 k/ph.
SVG done us proud 👏 Every Australian and New Zealand race fan was cheering so damn loudly to watch our boy win on debut.......sad to know we will soon be loosing him from our series but stoked to see him fly both our countries flags when he goes for a full series assault 🎉
we already had NASCAR street races in australia going back almost 20 years ago, we even had NASCAR races at bathurst, look it up on UA-cam, we still have a oval NASCAR track in melbourne australia
@@russe19642Yes, and we had some Americans out here racing Nascar on the oval at Calder. We also had several other Australian oval racing cars. Auscar etc
Ok Something you guys dont know about Shane Van Gisbergen, is he is the car. That track is simple compared to Adelaide, Newcastle, Townsville they are the streets circuits "SVG" races and dominates at. That was a drive with the wife n kids through a new city, while on holiday, or vacation as usa's call it.
G'day guys, I loved watching your reaction to SVG winning the NASCAR Chicago street race today! Have any of you looked up any of his highlights in his racing career? I can post some links for you to watch if you like??
After listening to what the collective field of drivers, after race comments, it seems like SVG was the most experienced driver with a field of ROOKIES, every single one of the "nascar" taxi drivers should be PAYING him a very large teaching bonus !!😥😥😥😥😥
The motorsport moment of 2023. What we need is an Australia/NZ team in Nascar. Jamie Wincup to run it. SVG driver number 1. I fucking love taking it up to the Americans!
SVG will race anything with wheels, and he has a habit of winning. 3x V8 Supercars champion, with 80 career wins, and 2 Bathurst 1000 wins. Blancpain GT3 wins at Silverstone, Nurburgring GP, Monza, and Paul Richard, and winning the 2016 Blancpain GT3 Endurance championship. 2016 Bathurst 12 Hour winner, setting the overall track record to secure pole position. Also has two 3rd places in the Bathurst 12 Hour. 5 Daytona 24 Hour attempts, with a best finish of 2nd in class. Finished 5th in class at Le Mans in 2022 on his first time there. Also done 3 Spa 24 Hours, and 1 Sebring 12 Hour. Competed in the WRC Rally New Zealand last year in the WRC2 class, where he finished 3rd in class in his first ever rally. He also used to compete in pro drift events in Australia and New Zealand for fun when he was younger. The cunt can wheel.
As an Aussie, I hope this win motivates US folk to check out V8 Supercar races and maybe entice a few top line racers to try their hand at our version of going fast in a monster V8. This cross-pollination will benefit those who take part in racing - on our island and your continent. Good stuff SVG and also the dudes who made and celebrated in this video.
Look at the track realestate Shane uses. His car on corner exit is up against the wall every time. The NASCAR drivers seem to scared to put their cars up against the walls. That’s why Shane keeps pulling away. Top drive from the Gizz
SVG to Nascar??? Yeah, Maybe. It's a cool thought and might happen. BUT 3 things to realise, yet the 2nd & 3rd "may" not be so critical. 1. We (Aussies and Kiwi's) don't race ovals, we drive on the other side of the road.... 2.everything is counter-intuitive except pedal placement...... gas on the right, brake in the middle and clutch on the left. 3. We measure in Metric.
I'm sure SVG can do it. Ambrose did okay in ovals, even if his results were all over the place. "We (Aussies and Kiwi's) don't race ovals" - Bring back the Thunderdome, I'd say! Get every race fans to pitch in 5 dollarcbucks to restore the track
@@Phonixrmf Would be good...the Thunderdome is just sitting there rotting away, so hopefully with the Giz winning the race and a renewed interest in NASCAR, the Thunderdome can be repaired and reused as a NASCAR track again.
I'm not a SVG fan that said i know that he js one of the all time greats of V8 supercars but i have to admit that i was very impressed with this race, now all we need is Scott McLaughlin to teach SVG a lesson as he has many times in Australia
These guys wondering if he knows about doing burnouts ahahahahahahhaahaha. Look up his championship celebration from supercars last year. car is doing a burnout while he stands on the roof
Anyone of the top 10 drivers in V8 Supercars Australia would have won this race.American drivers are good at going in circles but Aussies and Kiwis are better at road circuits and that’s just a fact.I love both nascar and Australian V8 Supercars.Cheers to my American cousins from down under.

Damn straight. SVG n Scotty Mac f a Bathurst pairing.🇳🇿
Thanks, we appreciate your interest in our motor racing. Have thought for a while that not only are our races world-class, but also our drivers.
Respect bro!
You also forgot to mention Greg Murphy one of the best kiwi V8 super car drivers. Watch the lap of the gods it's epic!
I am so happy America has discovered SVG and hope this has promoted Supercar NZ and Supercar Australia
Yes please take him as the kiwi has been kicking our Aussie asses in the v8’s for the last 3 years God bless from Newcastle Australia 🇦🇺
Would love to see McLaughlin clash horns SVG in Nascar!
@@spooogey8417 McLaughlin beats him every time just like he did in the v8 championship that kid is special
Haha .. gold.
ANZAC V the world
@@dawso2o2SVG is a better driver than Scott Mclachlan. Scott just had a much better car and set up.
That students is how you teach the class lesson
he did this with broken ribs and broken collarbone, 17th to 1st with one of the greatest passes of all time
ua-cam.com/video/EoqX8OXdeKI/v-deo.html
@@DogFish-NZ Yea I know that
@@tomknight3243 OK ✌️
As a kiwi who only watches v8 supercars and never really sees coverage of nascar it's dope to hear everyone's take on how big his win was. Gg boys
no tv station even shows nascar here too. cooked!

I was HYPED and I never even heard of bro before.this was one of the most satisfying races I've ever watched
Y'all should check his resume. He placed 2nd at Daytona a few years ago GTD 24h. 5th at Le Man's GTE Pro last year. You name it he owns it 🇳🇿
2nd in his debut at WRC2 in rally New Zealand last year.
Also 2016 Blancpain World GT3 Champion.
NZGP Champ, when does it end 💪

that was an all time great drive from the back to the front .
so funny hearing the reaction to his footwork. all supercars drivers are masters of the art. what did you guys think ?

Imagine if Shane’s win encourages Nascar to go racing in Australia.
Or NASCAR teams signing up V8 Supercar Drivers🤔
we already had NASCAR street races in australia going back almost 20 years ago, we even had NASCAR races at bathurst, look it up on UA-cam, we still have a oval NASCAR track in melbourne australia
@@volksdeutschewaffenss9670 did we?

@@russe19642 search UA-cam NASCAR racing australia, street races going back 20 years ago, the yanks are so far behind
SVG #97 Damn were gonna miss him in supercars. He is the real deal 100%
i wish he did his move from last supercars season of the burnout into the wall and standing on the roof with the wheels still spinning haha
As a fellow kiwi I am proud of our man SVG making his mark on the world stage. There is no car he can't drive
Best Nascar race I've ever seen.
Our v8 supercar drivers down under are legit
Ok
Something you guys dont know about Shane Van Gisbergen, is he is the car.
That track is simple compared to Adelaide, Newcastle, Townsville they are the streets circuits "SVG" races and dominates at.
That was a drive with the wife n kids through a new city, while on holiday, or vacation as usa's call it.
If Scott and Shane had their Supercars racing each other in Chicago they would've lapped the field
SVG has BEEN the man! You are in for a treat if you havent seen any supercar v8 races!
That was fkn awesome. Go the Giz!
G'day guys, I loved watching your reaction to SVG winning the NASCAR Chicago street race today! Have any of you looked up any of his highlights in his racing career? I can post some links for you to watch if you like??
I wanna see some
you have to post the link for Sandown 2021..the broken shoulder saga!!
After listening to what the collective field of drivers, after race comments, it seems like SVG was the most experienced driver with a field of ROOKIES, every single one of the "nascar" taxi drivers should be PAYING him a very large teaching bonus !!😥😥😥😥😥
And the thing is, there are another 10 to 15 drivers from Australia from Supercars that could do the same thing. and NOT exaggerating!
The motorsport moment of 2023. What we need is an Australia/NZ team in Nascar. Jamie Wincup to run it. SVG driver number 1.
I fucking love taking it up to the Americans!
Shane's used to racing Mt Panorama........Chicago was always going to be a cakewalk!
SVG will race anything with wheels, and he has a habit of winning.
3x V8 Supercars champion, with 80 career wins, and 2 Bathurst 1000 wins.
Blancpain GT3 wins at Silverstone, Nurburgring GP, Monza, and Paul Richard, and winning the 2016 Blancpain GT3 Endurance championship.

It would be cool to see NASCAR and V8 Supercars race together on the same track.
Sounds like you guys nee to watch more of our Aussie V8 Supercars, taught you guys how to race a street circuit, and also do a massive burnout lol.
Too many right hand corners for those Nascar drivers 😁
Only wish it was in a holden r.i.p always no1
V8 Supercars produce the best drivers 🇦🇺🇳🇿
For sure. The best drivers. The boys down here are not afraid of anything. I'm a Proud Kiwi, and I'm backing everyone of the Supercar Drivers.
🏁 Brodie Kostecki is coming to Nascar Indianapolis next month !
Bathurst is a great training ground !
Bathurst is the crucible of V8 supercars not a training track
And he did it from the passenger's seat! 😆
As good as SVG is, McClaughlin and SGV had the best battles with McClaughlin usually ending up on top. NZ is the new Finland of motor racing
SVG is much better than that other snoozer
Onya Giz!
Take that NASCAR you just got taken to school by a true race car driver!
He drove with a broken collar bone from the back of the grid and won, check it out,
Just call him Gizzy 😂
That is raw talent
He normally drives on the correct side too.
This was likely a HUGE Upset win!

Proud kiwi stopping in
Boys got 20 more plus drivers in Australia that could of won that.
Idk about all that
Look at the track realestate Shane uses. His car on corner exit is up against the wall every time. The NASCAR drivers seem to scared to put their cars up against the walls. That’s why Shane keeps pulling away. Top drive from the Gizz
There should be a mixed race with Nascar an v8's supercars at Bathurst then in America
SVG... goooo you good thing!!!
Shane's dad is near as quick as him when he takes a V8 supercar out for a few laps.
Now y'all send someone over for their first taste, i reckon Bathurst is a good start 😂

So does SVG get to race for the Championship since he won a race, is the #91 car now eligible for the Race for the Cup?
SVG SVG SVG SVG
Street circuits is what Kiwis and Aussies do. Look up Bathurst.
and that how you teach very nascar driver how to drive around a street race and svg has done it in Australia and also the king of burnouts
We breed em fast down here in the southern hemisphere
He reminds me of the Great Jacques Villeneuve.
That was InShane

so next time you watch NASCAR at a street track, just know "all" those drivers are second rate.
He kicked some Yankee ass!!!
