Exactly one race into his NASCAR Cup Series career, Shane van Gisbergen already has a win to his name. The driver of the No. 91 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet took home a victory in his first career start, driving his Enhance Health-sponsored machine to the front late at the Chicago street course on Sunday (July 2) following torrential rain.
Adam Cheek is joined by on-site reporters Michael Massie and Bryan Nolen to break down this historic triumph and what doors it opens for other Project 91 participants down the road. They also offer their takes on the race itself after a soggy start turned into a successful finish in NASCAR’s first attempt at tackling the downtown streets of the Windy City.
