Shane Van Gisbergen Now Competent on Ovals, but Don't Start Him Here
Perhaps it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that Shane van Gisbergen no longer looks like a fish out of water like he did earlier in the season. He remains after all one of the world's greatest racing drivers and his car control, strategy, and racecraft can still often carry him even on unfamiliar tracks. It's now no longer surprising when he has top twenty runs on ovals as it seems more likely than not lately. However, it also seems like his qualifying results have often been improving faster than his race finishes. Even if SVG finishes better than his starting position of 22nd today, it's hard to see him finishing much better and he could still easily finish worse since he was 34th six laps down in the spring. If you're even thinking about starting him, start Zane Smith instead because he costs less money in DFS, is starting worse, and is a better oval driver.
