Shane Van Gisbergen Will Start 12th In First COTA Cup Start
9 months agoShane Van Gisbergen will start 12th in his first Cup Series race at Circuit of the Americas. Sunday's race at COTA will be Van Gisbergen's first of several Cup races scheduled for 2024 as he races full-time in the Xfinity Series. In SVG's two previous Cup Series starts, he scored a win at the Chicago Street Course and finished tenth at the Indianapolis road course. Earlier in the weekend, SVG raced the Xfinity race at COTA, where he led 20 laps, looked dominant, and competed for the win until a last-lap penalty relegated him to a finish of 27th. Van Gisbergen looked fast in pre-race events by displaying top-10 speeds in practice with his overall lap average in particular being ranked eighth of all drivers. With his extensive road racing background as a three-time supercars champion and his equipment, Van Gisbergen could be one to watch on Sunday, especially as a solid DFS play that can place in the Top 10.
