Shane van Gisbergen Showing Progress, Qualifies Fifth at Martinsville
Shane van Gisbergen has continued to show progress on the oval race tracks throughout his young NASCAR Cup Series career, and this weekend has been no different. After a slow start in practice on Saturday (where he wound up 34th-fastest), SVG rebounded with a solid top-five qualifying effort later that day and will start from fifth-place when the Cook Out 400 from Martinsville goes green. It's his career-best qualifying effort (so far) on an oval in the Cup Series. Martinsville is a track that, historically, has been a good venue for road course racers, like SVG. In three career starts at "The Paperclip," van Gisbergen has already notched two top-15 finishes, as he looks to get his first top-10 result this weekend.
