As an American, SVG you are just what our boring sport of Nascar needed. Thank you for showing us that even these anemic, no grip and bad braking cars can be driven with such mastery all while not spewing sponsor stuff before every opening of your mouth. Well done sir, new fan and subscriber.

I love how SVG walks the track 2 inches off the walls and the other guys walk up the middle

So good to see you enjoying yourself and truly smiling again mate! Congrats on your win 🏆 Here’s to many many others 🍻🍻🍻🇳🇿🇦🇺 We miss you in Supercars. SVG & LARSON teammates for Bathurst 2025 vote here 👇

Awesome racing, the battle with Kyle in the first half was the best racing anywhere all year, great to watch

They're gonna have to rename the city to "Shanecago". Such a pleasure and honor to host your level of skill on an American road course. Well done, sir.

Mr SVG. You are the only reason I watched this race.

Gratz Giz! Great racing. Saw a comment from another bloke regarding the race how it'd be awesome to see Kyle at Bathurst. Couldn't agree more. Hes such a gifted racer. Maybe a van Gisbergen/Larson co drive?

Masterful. Thank you for showing everyone how to get it done in a first class way. Just what this sport needed & it's really cool to see all the Kiwi fans support. Beautiful addition to the sport.

SVG, you are an awesome young man. Here's to more for your continued success in NASCAR!

This was really cool to watch. Hope this becomes a regular thing! Neat to see a little bit of the behind the scenes action.

Shane, before the Cup race last year at Chicago I didn't even know who you were. I've always been a huge NASCAR guy and didn't really care about other motorsports that much. But since your win and getting to know you over the last year I have become a huge fan of yours. I'm a Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott fan but now I add you to that list of my favorite drivers. I love your positive attitude, your skill level on road/street courses is literally the best I've seen but your personality is infectious. Thanks for coming over here and brightening our sport. Wish you long success and I hope you never lose your love of NASCAR racing. Good luck today, hope you pull off the sweep.

That was some good racing between you and Larson, very respectful and clean, can't wait for tomorrow!

As an Aussie, awesome to see someone from the‘eastern states’ (NZ) , giving to the Americans. Keep it going.

Keep it up SVG, you've done us New Zealander's 🇳🇿 proud!

I’ve watched every lap of your NASCAR journey. Early mornings for sure. Great to see you so happy in the US. Congratulations and know you’ve got a massive following from NZ and Australia.

"Somehow leading the championship"... because you are awesome & your team is awesome.

Good to see Kiwi humbleness and skill being appreciated by an American audience! All the best Shane from NZ 🇳🇿

This video was awesome. Good story and behind the scenes, filmed well!! More of this please. 🙏

You and Kyle was some of the best racing on a road course I have seen in a long time

Nice one, Shane. All the best for tomorrow. As always, hoping you have a strong car and can avoid any incidents.

Master class in race craft. WELL done.

I’m lucky enough to live in Chicago, got to see you win in person today! It was incredible watching you win! You put up a great fight with Larson, I wish you luck tomorrow in cup! Congratulations!

Happy to have you back in Chicago sir! Hope our Mayor will host again next year as well. This event is pretty special for the city. I'm not sure people realize how special yet.

Great job! You are making the whole series better one race at a time!

Way to go Gizzy ! Give Em a taste of Kiwi !

Congrats Shane and thanks for keeping it clean!

I didn’t know you had a KZfaq channel it’s awesome to see you race out there I’ve never seen so much road course/ street race talent before I was so rooting for you watching the race live keep up the good work

Amazing job today, Mr van Gisbergen! Congratulations and good luck tomorrow! OG (69yrs) from Idaho!

Dude just straight up being undefeated at Chicago

Congrats Mate. So enjoying watching u drive

Great to see shane killing it over in the US. He's a supremely talented driver joining his fellow kiwis Scotty and Liam are getting to the top in their disciplines. Great for NZ.

Go Shane from Australia

Hello from Southwest Louisiana. Love to see your success, man. Well done.

You have been my favorite the first interview i saw. You come across as one of the kindest and humble person in the world and its a breath of fresh air Shane. Thank you for keeping my faith in the human race! Now get a win at Pocono!

Well done Shane,following you from Perth Western Australia Good Luck in the Cup Race mate.

So much fun to watch you race, wish we had more Supercar coverage here. You are truly raising the standard for all Nascar drivers. Thanks

I had the privilege of having a hot lap with you in the old SBR days back on your debut in good old Oran Park and I knew then you had something special to show the world! While I’m blueblooded through and through and hated watching you beat us back home I always respected your racecraft, love watching you and Scotty Mac carving it up in the US! Keep it up mate 👍 and remember to keep enjoying your racing

Such a great Race today, SVG Awesome driving skills mate, Had me shouting at the TV set, lol. Superb and enjoyed your up close with Kyle in stage one, I got to enjoy your driving skills first hand at Portland International Raceway and just ordered the diecast, I wish you all the very best for the remaining races of the season, Have to mention Sonoma too.... EPIC!! Go on SVG get more wins and keep up the momentum, You are going to be the one in Cup next year 🎉 #Highflyingbird 🐦

There you are so good. All the best for tomorrow. Liked and Subscribed from South Kaipara Head. Windy showery.

Good behind the scenes look, really enjoyed the video, congrats on the Win!!

Can this be a Race Week thing? So cool getting to see these little behind the scenes bits with your commentary 🎉 Congrats 🎉🎉

Way to go, Giz! Best of luck for the Cup, mate.

Its hilarious that the jet flyover is so high they're almost stratospheric - whereas the F-18/F35's at Bathurst are so low you can clearly see the underline panels and feel the earth shuddering beneath your feet!

Incredible Racing today SVG! Was great to see you and Kyle racing so hard, yet clean. Congratulations and go get the sweep tomorrow!

Glad to have you in our sport.

Way to go SVG!

Shane van SKIDSBERGEN o7 🇳🇿 long time follower , go get em 💪

Fantastic, been following your adventures all year super cool to see you pushing the limits 👍 live coverage on TV3 the bbq fires up meat hits the grill yea let's watch some nascar! Thanks Mate all the way from Greymouth West Coast nz 🇳🇿😎👍

Nice job, hope you keep posting the vlog stuff and we can follow along on your journey.

it'd be cool for you to build this channel with BTS stuff, great drive dude!

Awesome Stuff! so cool! I lost the excitement on watching racing but thanks to you, its Back! Look forward to each and every week, never thought a Kiwi like myself would ever get into Nascar, but after the Battle between you and Larsen I'm hooked! All the best!

Brother, you are one absolutely amazing driver. I've been keeping up with you since the Supercar racing. Really, I think that's the absolute best racing in the world by far !! But it's going to be awesome watching you get more experience driving the Nascar vehicles. I believe you will understand these cars fairly quickly and get a handle on what you want and need to kick Ass.

You became my favorite driver as soon as you attempted the street race last year, trackhouse was my favorite team and you were the icing on the cake!

Congratulations Shane! Been a racing fan since the 60's. You seem very confident to get the sweep,, good luck and I hope you do the double victory. Thanks for this video.👍😎

You’re a legend SVG. Proud fan of yours here in Indianapolis!

Awesome content, Shane!!! More of these, please☝️☝️🇳🇿🇳🇿

Congratulations, Shane. Wow, that was crazy exciting. A true racer, and all you want to do is drive, not interested in the fan fair. Good luck with the Cup Race. I'll be tuning in tomorrow. To all the other drivers, good luck. SVG fan here in NZ 🥝🥝🥝

You deserve a full time cup ride next year!! You are an amazing talent!! Congrats on the win!! Good luck in the cup race today!!

how f'n good!

tbh...got tired of watching you stink up the show in supercars, but find myself watching you more than anyone else on the ticker during xfinity races. you come off as very genuine and am pulling for your success in nascar. When that first oval win comes, nobody will be cheering for you louder than me. congratulations on today's win. good luck tomorrow!

So good mate. Great to see you lovin' life. Must be satisfying for all your early mentors and people who've helped you. Hope Jess is loving the U.S. too. Onya guys.

Larson and SVG put on a show like no other i admired Marcos Ambrose so much, i am happy to a supercup driver return with a vengeance

Damn that was a quick upload! Congrats on the win! Trackhouse supporter for life!

I am your biggest fan, Shane. It was exciting seeing you battle with Larson there.

I’m so excited to see you at pocono next week. I’ve been a fan of yours since 2020 and am excited to see you drive in person. Great win today too🍾

Congratulations man you drove a hell of a race. Good luck tomorrow

Congratulations mate so awesome to see you kicking goals over there 💯👌🏽

Congratulations on your win at Chicago, Shane, what a fun race and I like it.

You make us soo bloody proud as a kiwi svg! Haven't missed a race you've made me a huge nascar fan! Get up tmrw 💪💪

congrats on the win. could you imagine what NASCAR would be like with both SVG and Jamie Whincup.

Seriously Shane, thank you for what you did today. Love from the Waikato.

Congrats, thanks for the good show. Loved the hand wave on the straight, I think Kyle knew you were messing with him LOL.

Robbed of a repeat Cup win. Looked unstoppable. Would have been epic to win the first three races there….

I love your new found PR skills. Well done

too much Gizzy just amazing to see this level of racing again its been a while since i seen a clean race with the front runners going so hard but makin sure they are leavin room.... huge respect to you, Kyle and Ty

Hope you can do a weekend sweep. Go get em Sunday!!!!

No clue you had a channel, this is sweet as hell, great win and another one coming today!

This is neat. Thanks for doing this!

Well done Gizzy, Cheers from NEW ZEALAND

If ya haven't already that would make sense, but after the 2nd race, check of "Ricobene's" sometime. It had led to some epic one liners from first timers. Especially the veil or chicken parm sammich. Wooo! You'll sleep to wherever you going soundly afterwords!

CONGRATS MAN! LETS WIN CUP BABYYYY! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Awesome job! Great driving.

U da man Gizzy phreakin luv ya mate keep up the awesome work cuz xo❤🎉🎉🎉

Awesome drive 🥳🥳🥳🏆

Great job. Exciting race

Too good Shane😎

I’ve been a fan of yours since V8 Supercars & followed you over to Cup & Xfinity. Never thought I’d see you racing in the US. Hopefully I’ll get the chance to meet you one day. Let’s GO!! 🤙🏾🇳🇿

Congrats on another win Shane. It was fun to watch you battling with the 17 car. Not the 17 car you used to battle with but another great driver. You gotta talk Scotty into getting into a Penske car for Chicago next year.

Great coverage - Cheers form NZ

Its been awesome watching Shane in his last year with the V8 Supercars....winning the Bathurst 1000, then watching him in NASCAR.

Great job man. You are the master at Road Courses. Please do more of these vlogs. Lets go back to back at Pocono next week.
