Although Shane van Gisbergen hasn't typically been fast in oval races yet, he's now outqualified both his Trackhouse Racing teammates Ross Chastain and Daniel Suárez several times, and his speed in recent weeks has rapidly improved in oval races as well. He'll probably never win one, but much like his Supercars champion predecessor Marcos Ambrose, he'll likely acquit himself fairly well on them eventually. As a result, you can't exactly look at past history to forecast his performance since he will almost certainly run better than any model based on his past results would indicate. However, he also qualified 13th and his best oval finish remains his 10th two weeks ago at Kansas so he will likely still lose positions in terms of Place Differential points. You probably shouldn't start him, but he should still run better than you think.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
