NASCAR Chicago results: Shane van Gisbergen continues his road racing mastery with second win of 2025

Two years after having traveled from New Zealand to Chicago to shock the world and win during his start in the Nascar Cup at Chicago Street Race, Shane Van Gisbergen defended his home far from his home in Nascar’s annual Street race, winning the 165 subsidy park for the second time to win his second victory for the 2025. After his first victory of the season in Mexico City, and that gives him a scan on weekends after his victory in the race of the XFINITY series on Saturday.

Despite the start of the post, Van Gisbergen faced a rigid competition in the first stage of Michael McDowell’s race, which could not only match but exceed the former champion V8 Supercars and the rhythm of Road Racing Ace on his way to win the scene. But when McDowell underwent a stuck accelerator problem which put it out of discord, which paved the way for a walk on Sunday for SVG, which took the lead for good with 16 laps to go to victory from there.

“I love this place,” Van Gisbergen told TNT Sports. “… I guess we made no mistakes. There were very fast cars, and we just seemed to do things. Do not make any mistakes, be smooth every turn and really cool … It was so hot this weekend. The track was very smooth, the times were much slower, and the margin of error was very small. I had to do things.”

Ty Gibbs finished in a second place in the season, followed by Tyler Reddick, Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch constituting the rest of the first five. AJ ALLMENDINGER, Ryan Preece, Alex Bowman, Austin Hill and Ross Chastain completed the top 10.

Sunday’s event saw hard races within the tight limits of the rue de Chicago, with certain incidents on the edge: Carson Hocevar crushed in the opening towers to create a track blocking incident between the 11 and 12 years old turns, then a battle in the season – and the recurrent quarrel – came to the head late in the race when Bowman Bubba Wallace was the two.

“I didn’t really expect it when I exceeded it and we entered (turn) 12 and he just shipped me,” Bowman told TNT. “Then, he put me in the fence in 1, put me in the fence of 2, and he is simply not clear, right? As, I have nowhere to go. We are going directly and we just hung on and he ends up crashing. I really did not have the impression that it was necessary … both killed.

While Wallace and Bowman had a somewhat civilian discussion on Pit Road thereafter, this was not the case for Joey Logano, who confronted Chastain angry after being turned on a restart and smoked to journalists on what the driver of n ° 1 had to say to him.

“He admitted that he destroyed me on purpose! He admitted it! Which means that he should be sentenced to a fine if he was certainly destroyed someone on purpose. It is not good,” Logano told journalists. “Typical Ross. He simply sees red and does stupid stuff. That’s it. That’s it twice this year on road routes at the end of these things that I cost by Ross.”

Bowman would eventually advance in the challenge in Nascar season with Ty Dillon, John Hunter Nemechek, Erik Jones, Preece, Reddick, Gibbs and Zane Smith.

The Sunday race also saw a certain number of improbable names Excel, while Katherine Legge obtained a 19th place and became the first woman to finish in the top 20 of a cup race from Danica Patrick in 2017. Cody Ware should have been among this group, while he challenged for a late top 15 and was in 18th with two strokes for being at the end of the end. In an incident that ended the race for caution. Ware was able to get out of his car, but he ended up with a DNF in 26th.
