The dude just loves racing. He doesn't care about anything else 👍 as an Australian I'm naturally bias towards Aussie drivers but the Giz is one of the best I've ever seen and even though he's a kiwi I'm stoked he's getting wins and success. He's that good! He's been pissing Aussies off for years because he's that good so now it's America's turn to deal with him. Good luck with that USA dudes😂😂😂👍🍻👏👏👏
I'm not mad at him! I appreciate his positive attitude, humble nature and raw talent! He seems like a truly grateful guy and it's hard not to like that!
How good is it to see Gizzy truly enjoying his racing again! I’m not going to sit here and say I’m not upset about him not driving a Supercar anymore, but he seems genuinely happy again and that makes me happy. The bloke is a genuine gentleman and an exceptional driver. No matter what you sit him in, he just makes it happen. Congrats Giz, we still love ya brother 🍻🍻🍻🇦🇺🇳🇿
People Said SVG Only Won Chicago Last Year Because Of Rain,Fresh Tires And The Race Was Shortened, People Said He'd Struggle On Ovals And Be Laps Down,They Said He's Not Used To The Xfinity Car He Won't Be As Good On Roadcourses, Anything Else You Wanna Say He Can't Do,Watch Him Go Out And Do It,I Knew This Guy Was Special After Last Year, You Don't Just Win Your First Race Like That By Accident,Guy Is Unreal 💯
Everyone knew he was going to be a huge road course threat. Ovals, yes he's learning and keeping it clean. Top 15s on tracks he's never been on is really good in my mind
I tried to warn them that if you took the top 5 drivers from every top category on the planet and put them in any or all of the vehicles, on any or all of the tracks, they would all have the talent and tenacity to win on 'their' day. But SVG would be in the top 5 position every week, maybe now they will start believing me. lol.
So great to see an easy smile on his face. He's a credit to all those folks who've mentored and guided him here in Oz. To have the respect of all those good ole boys is awesome.
What a complete transformation from the way SVG used to endure the press down here. Goes to show what happens when you're having fun and get asked intelligent, respectful questions.
I discovered Supercars (and in turn SVG) a little over 2 years ago and immediately you could see that the talent was undeniable. Having gotten to know more about him and hear him speak in post race interviews and podcasts, he just genuinely seems like a top, top individual. You simply cannot dislike this guy. Love that he seems to be enjoying his time in the States.
As a aussie i love this kiwi now time for roger penske to give scotty mclaughlin a go in nascar imagine SVG V scotty mcg in nascar on a road circuit Wooo
Really good 👍 This is great television, well done to the driver's, the teams and well done Nascar 👏 ✔️ 👍 Top notch entertainment., both the racing and theses interviews 👌🏻
Just a note to Americans, any time New Zealand produces a decent sportsman, musician or actor (or even horses and desserts!) Aussie will claim them as their own, yes, SVG has done the majority of his racing in Australia...but he is a born and bred kiwi through and through! ;)
Not me.. They always stay Kiwi for me.. Why? Cos they seem to be the only buggers left on the planet That can tell the Difference of having the piss taken, without having a Mental breakdown.."Oh shit.. i said mental breakdown. I apologise to those who read that.. n took offence.."..Lols. .. " Giz is good viewing.
He's still excited to be here doing this. I wasn't sure how he would deal with the ovals and about what I expected so I questioned if he could keep his head in the game and still smile. He's not worried about leading the race at the green, he has it planned to be there on the checkers.
Last year Kyle said that he was watching SVGs race craft to see what he could learn. I wonder if Austin Hill took some notes on how to race cleanly and respectfully. What I did notice is that AH freaked out when he saw SVG in his mirrors and lost 3 places. lol. I honestly hope he can get over it one day, but it means he is going to have to take a couple of steps up the maturity ladder. SVG wouldn't want him scarred for life either. Hill gives the finger, SVG gives the thumbs up, for a good battle, I hope they shared a beer and swapped notes after the race.
The man feels inevitable on a street course! What a drive, feels like he is going to own Chicago for a while, lets see if he can back it up! Larson awesome too
I would love to see him run a few Nascar tracks in a Supercar just for fun and see what kind of track time it might do.Or bring 10 SuperCars over to put on a race here in U.S.A.
For those who wish to believe that Shane van Gisbergen is leading the Playoffs for the 2024 Xfinity series. They will be wrong and need new calculators. At best, when going into the Playoffs, he will be ranked around 5th of 6th out of a top 12 drivers. Much because of how the Regular Season Championship and the points reset, there after are calculated. That will make less difference from there after as well
@gary3074 You should listen and take things more into account. When you definitely did not view or understand what was said and by who. When it was said. Ignorance is bliss, and you are both ignorant and clueless in what was said and involved. It would have been better if you kept your hands off the keyboard also. Now, you will conclude that they were fingers of an illiterate monkey. Shane van Gisbergen does not have the most points. He is at least 200 points shy of that, and with the regular season bonus points and other matters. Will never have the most points in any way or form
Give those American drivers time and they will be kicking his arse, they are all new to road racing. He's not winning by a LARGE margin. WISH I COULD CATCH FISH THIS WELL.😂😂😂😂😂😂
He's a point you obviously missed genius, you don't have to have a "large margin" to win, first is first no matter how hard you try to talk it down.....
