Shane van Gisbergen shares his feelings about the big NASCAR Calander
One of the biggest differences that Shane van Gisbergen faced in his NASCAR debut was the big schedule it offers, unlike his previous series he has been part. But despite the grind it demands, SVG cherishes this as he always wanted to race more in a year in the past.
Yeah, getting to race every week was awesome…We had a couple of rough weeks in a row and it gets hard to be motivated but you need to get the momentum going which is hard because every single week is a different track…So… It’s hard to get that momentum going because the challenges are so variable. It’s pretty cool.
Shane van Gisbergen said.
The comments from Gisbergen shows how much he loves racing, despite being in the final half of his racing career. He has so much left to offer, now in the Cup series and his road course racing prowess, alongside championship experience, will make him a driver to look up to from the 2025 season.
