The Motorsport Brief: SVG answers your questions

It’s our first chance to talk to Shane van Gisbergen since his big switch from Supercars to NASCAR, and it’s clear he’s loving this new chapter immensely.


Thank you to everyone who responded on social media to our call for questions, including those who put their best radio voices on and sent in audio. While we couldn’t get to all your questions in the time Trackhouse Racing kindly gave us, we covered most of the recurring themes.


Shane provides great insights on how wild the cars feel on ovals, drifting and burnouts in a NASCAR, his potential plans for more Sprintcar racing, the advice he's received from legends on both sides of the pond, and whether he would consider an Indy 500 wildcard like Kyle Larson did this year.


Although we didn’t discuss his now-trademark celebration of kicking a footy into the crowd, we love how SVG is bringing some Kiwi rugby roots to the United States and making his mark!
