NASCAR Cup
Shane van Gisbergen Sweeps Chicago Street Race Weekend with Cup Win
Shane van Gisbergen won the Chicago Street Race on Sunday afternoon for his third career NASCAR Cup Series victory.
The race ended under caution after Cody Ware crashed into the tire barriers at Turn 6. SVG took the white flag as the leader of the race just before the yellow flag flew.
Shane van Gisbergen became only the second driver in NASCAR history to sweep the pole and race for both the Xfinity and Cup Series in the same weekend at the same track when he won today’s race on the streets of Chicago.
The only driver to have swept both the pole and race for both Xfinity and Cup in the same weekend at the same track was Kyle Busch at Indianapolis in 2016.
"It's so hot this weekend," van Gisbergen told TNT Sports. "The track was really slick, the times were a lot slower, and the margin for error was very thin."
Shane van Gisbergen wins at Chicago, he has won 4 of the 6 races held at the track.

NASCAR Xfinity
Shane van Gisbergen Overcomes Late Zilisch Surge for Xfinity Win in Chicago
Shane van Gisbergen (SVG) bested teammate Connor Zilisch on a restart with two laps to go to win Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race at the Chicago Street Course for the second consecutive season. He won after starting on the pole and leading 27 of the 50 laps on the 12-turn, 2.2-mile street course.
The win is the New Zealand native’s sixth national series win overall and fourth in the Xfinity circuit. Additionally, Shane is the sixth different driver to win this season for JR Motorsports.
"Thought it was going to be a lost cause when the strategy went wrong, but it worked out well," said van Gisbergen. "Thanks to JRM, the car was a rocket."
Speaking more on the strategy, SVG said: "I knew that was what we were gonna do, but when so many cars didn't follow us, it was a bit of worry, but then we had tire grip at the end. Really cool battles with everyone. I enjoyed it."
