Shane van Gisbergen turned the fastest lap in qualifying from Sonoma Raceway at a speed of 96.040 mph, earning the right to lead the Cup Series field to green in Sunday (July 13) afternoon’s Toyota/Save Mart 350.
The fourth pole of the Kiwi’s career is his second in as many weeks and also completes the sweep of each pole this weekend, which he also did last weekend at Chicago.
