Shane van Gisbergen dominated in NASCAR’s inaugural Cup Series race at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on Sunday (June 15) to essentially lock himself into the NASCAR playoffs, turning his season and the playoff picture around despite treacherous wet conditions to start and fighting an illness.
Wyatt Watson and Bryan Nolen give their instant reactions to the mix of wet and dry racing in Mexico City and the misfortune of Ty Gibbs, who at first competed closely with van Gisbergen.
The duo also highlight the growing feud that sparked once again between Ricky Stenhouse Jr and Carson Hocevar.
