A ton of attention has been paid to the Xfinity Series over the last week and change, due to the rivalry between Shane van Gisbergen and Austin Hill, which added another chapter at Sonoma Raceway. Dale Earnhardt Jr. was very entertained by van Gisbergen and Hill’s clash in California, where the former owed the latter a receipt from COTA. During the latest episode of The Dale Jr. Download, the NASCAR Hall of Famer spoke on the rivalry as a whole. “I don’t get that hyped up for the road course races in our series, but the end was entertaining, and SVG wins, I guess, two in a row now,” Earnhardt ...

Shane van Gisbergen has taken the Xfinity Series by storm, and it’s rubbed some racers the wrong way, like Austin Hill, but the New Zealander has a ton of respect for many other drivers in NASCAR, like Ty Gibbs. The man affectionately known as SVG has raced against Gibbs in both the Cup Series and the Xfinity Series, and it was evident the Joe Gibbs Racing wheelman gained van Gisbergen’s attention during last weekend’s race at Sonoma. While Gibbs dealt with some trouble throughout the race that led to him not competing against van Gisbergen for the win, the New Zealander recognized Gibbs’ tale...

Whenever Shane van Gisbergen wins a race, he celebrates with a rugby ball. On theStacking Pennies podcast, the New Zealand native explained how the rugby ball celebration got started. “That’s a Trackhouse thing,” van Gisbergen said. “Daniel [Suárez] has the piñata, Ross [Chastain] has the watermelon. They’re like ‘You got to come up with something.’ I didn’t really know what to do and someone suggested pick a rugby ball.” Van Gisbergen was then asked why the punt at Sonoma was not as strong as the one in Portland the week before. “It was flat. The ball was flat,” he said. “So they gave it to m...

On the Stacking Pennies podcast, co-host Corey LaJoie asked van Gisbergen about the incident. “I did yeah on the curbs I think,” van Gisbergen (also known as SVG) said. “There’s not too many photos of it.” LaJoie added, “He said he looked like Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber. Like what lap was that?” Van Gisbergen responded, “I just finished the race and I went, ‘Man, oh that’s not right. Oh s***. Try to cover it up. Try not to sm...

Denny Hamlin believes Shane van Gisbergen is loving NASCAR’s “Rubbin’ is racing” mantra, as the New Zealander adjusts to the sport in the Xfinity Series. The sentiment from Hamlin stems from van Gisbergen moving Austin Hill out of the way for the victory at Sonoma over the weekend, pushing him up the track on the restart and jetting away from the field afterwards. During the latest episode of his Actions Detrimental podcast, Hamlin elaborated on why he believes that’s all well and good for van Gisbergen in the Xfinity Series, but that wouldn’t fly in the Cup Series, where SVG would like to rac...

Denny Hamlin seems to be very interested in the rivalry between NASCAR Xfinity Series drivers Shane van Gisbergen (SVG) and Austin Hill. On the Actions Detrimental podcast, Hamlin shared his thoughts on the two drivers who got into it at the Sonoma race. “[Hill’s] been on the worst end of this exchange. There’s no question about that,” Hamlin said. “If the score is level, then I think Shane needs to keep it clean from here on out because he’s certainly opening himself to Austin really knocking him out of the way when he needs to for a future win or future position.” Hamlin went on to praise SV...

I personally thought what SVG did there ...

As he follows his dream of racing in the Cup Series full-time, the wheelman affectionately known as SVG let the world know that he’s switched over to miles per hour from kilometers.
