NASCAR Cup Series EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS: Grant Park 220 | 7/2/23 | Motorsports on NBC
/ motorsportsonnbc
I had my doubts about Nascar on a street circuit, boy was I wrong! One of the best races of the season!
Southwest Tour and Winston West raced before on street courses
don’t know why anyone ever doubted this track, these cars are glorified v8 supercars. this is what they’re made to do
@@yeoscore people doubted this track because street courses are flat and the fact people just don't like Downtown Chicago. Which are legitimate doubts. Plus Street races are narrow. Pfft
Of course you were! At least some of NASCAR fans got the balls to admit it!!! You need to do this way more often!!!
@@chrisbee9643 weird projection
As a nascar fan and an Aussie v8 fan big ups to SVG for showing out this weekend! What a legend
Shane VanGisbergen is a legend, he is competitive in everything he drives.
Van Gisbergen may land a fulltime NCS ride soon. 2026 possibly.
Yes
1:12 You mean Shane Van Gisenberg-en?🤣
@@purwantiallan5089 Seeing as how the seasons are opposite between here and Australia he could probably drive both but I wouldn't trade v8 supercars for Nascar.
He is mediocre in GT cars
I’ve never even heard of SVG before today, not gonna lie. He definitely gained a fan today! What an incredible drive. We’ve witnessed a truly historical win 👍
Is he in the Chase now? He officially has a win.
@@Mr_Dopey I believe he can be if he wants to be.
Keep an eye on the supercars series in Australia.
SVG can drive fast in alot of cars nascar v8 supercar drifting sprint cars gt3 cars
Every racing Aussie on the planet knows who he is... and now every racing Yank will understand what we already knew.
You're so fucking screwed LOL!!
It's no joke how good of drivers the Super Car guys are.
Agree. These Repco V8 Supercar drivers when competing in NASCAR are NO JOKE.
Yeah look at McLaughlin in Indy too
@@ZenvoST1Fire or marcos ambrose guy was a wheelman
these drivers were racing 650hp race cars with stock chassis, stick shift, narrow tires and no downforce.
@@Zahrul3it's been a long time since they had a stock chassis in supercars
This is is the first time in a long time that a Nascar race had me interested the entire time. THIS is what fans want!
Justin Haley is good, but SVG is so much more experienced on street circuits. That tuck back to repass under braking was insane. Had me on my feet the whole last 10 laps. Bravo SVG!
Plus the background scenery of the city was outstanding with nascars in the foreground.
This was my first live NASCAR race. I'm still in awe. Absolutely amazing. They earned a new fan
NASCAR on a street circuit!? Never thought I would see the day! Amazing!
Having broadcasters actually sitting in each sectoris great for the excitement. I hope they do this at more road courses.
Honestly wasn’t expecting that good of a race on a street in the rain
Yep. Usually rain always spiced everything up.
NASCAR. Road Course. Street Circuit. Rain.
That formula was always going to make a great race.
I swear i could hear SVG giggling hysterically as he went by. He's not used used to having so much grip. I bet it felt like the car was glued to the track to him. 😅
If the highlights are anything to go by, it took the journey of the race to figure out how to say his name, but I'm glad they got it by the end!
SVG's attack and ability to pull way was unreal. The dude is fast in everything, even a rally car, but especially a high horsepower chunky beast around a slippy street circuit. That's his specialty!
Right?? V8 Supercar champion on a street circuit kinda like theirs, with rain??? what a match for a race and driver to get the 1st-start win, super cool to see
He was able adapt quickly and took control of the race, he is a different breed
I knew SVG was going to win this. There was absolutely no way a combination of wet track, heavy beast and walls for friends was going to stop him. Bathurst HOW MANY TIMES?? LOL
Nascar, road course, in the wet...never would have thought. Awesome 😎
Yup now if they'd just drop all the gimmick stuff and moderized cars a bit
This race was amazing!
Having the radio broadcast guys help with calling the race made it WAY more exciting
Love hearing the Bagman call a race like this. Made it soo much more detailed! And how about SVG!
Everyone except Jeff Burton, he needs to go.
seeing this live was nuts. I was there all morning, got soaked, and waited around and i am glad i did. this was awesome. just what a street circuit should be, i can see this being a great race in the dry on a hot summer day!
I really enjoyed watching the race. I have not had this much fun watching a NASCAR race in many years. It was like watching bumper cars in side of the city. Seeing the large buildings in the background was a bonus.
I don’t just want Nascar in Monaco, I need it. Can you imagine a harbor full of bass boats with 40 cars racing around those streets 😂
Nah Monaco would be too narrow for stock cars to pass
It's already difficult for F1 cuz their cars are wide but I'm not sure how wide F1 cars are compared to NASCAR
NASCAR in DETROIT 🤲🙏
@@mikeythesoulacenow Spa-francorchamps would be awesome, could really love the Idea of a full field of NASCAR cars hauling up raidillon eau rouge, Monaco is a non starter because of the pits even before you consider the track
@@mikeythesoulacepassing would be the least of their problems: they won't be able to navigate the Grand Hotel hairpin without making a 3 points manouver. F1 can do that because they fit special front suspensions and steering rack for that only circuit, it's the advantage of open wheels, NASCAR can't.
@@Ariespradana13 Indy did it. Wasn't at Belle Isle either.
What a race. SVG came in and took all these Cup boys to school, very impressive
Huge huge props/respect to Hamlin and Reddick for giving a very exciting and impressive first lap there side by side. Great skill and daring by both testing the limits in the wet and racing hard, so fun to watch... and then it got wild hahaha
That traffic jam was crazy. NASCAR keep it up! Love a street circuit
I am in love with the fact NASCAR is embracing more road courses and now street circuits. They are just SO much more exciting than ovals to watch IMO.
Nah, usually these are a snoozer for nascar. Ovals are way better, this race was only good because the rain.
@@michaelmiguelicutti2829 Nah
@@michaelmiguelicutti2829 lol no.
@@michaelmiguelicutti2829 not even close
That was surprisingly entertaining. If they could do something about Turn 6 they'd have a better race on their hands. Cool to see someone new win, too
I don't think they can.
NASCAR we need more street races this race was too good
Australian V8 Supercar vibes! NASCAR should consider some more street courses!
So Stoked for SVG and the V8 SC guys. those boys know how to drive down there, and this was a coming out party for the talent. SVG earned than win, and did it clean. Outstanding!
Please keep doing this! I will actually watch NASCAR if there are street races.
Would be very interesting to see Shane compete in another NASCAR event and see if he can repeat his good performance. Being a street race in the rain, two things regular NASCAR drivers wouldn't have a ton of experience with, obviously he was going to be a strong contender seeing as V8's regularly race street courses, and in wet weather. Would be interesting to see how he goes at a speedway however. But he can certainly drive anything well.
He'd get spanked on an oval because he'd be in the opposite situation where he is vastly inexperienced compared to the rest of the field. It's a whole different style of racing compared to anything else he's done before.
He did great in Chicago because the whole event was practically tailor made to benefit him and his style of racing. Come next year, he won't have such an easy time now that the field has a year to study what he did and get faster for the next time. Going to be some much stiffer competition.
@@trainofthough0242 He'd be as fast on a short track at least, he smokes WOO guys during their off-season every year.
@@trainofthough0242yeah he goes alright in a sprint car.. drift car.. GT3 world championship in there too. Podium in a world rally championship Round last year in New Zealand.
People study what he does but it doesn't help them best him.
It's not just his mastery of brake throttle and steering, he has a high racing IQ and makes decisions that others wouldn't even think of.
They had to change the rules in supercars because of his ability to use the grass to cool his rain tyres at 250kph during a wet race. He just thinks different hahahaha
@@josephpenn1115 You're clearly not thinking about the same person. Shane has only raced a handful of Sprintcar races in NZ, and he's never raced against a WoO driver. The only American he has competed against is Jonathan Allard, who doesn't race with the Outlaws.
Seeing Nascar driving in front of the art institute of Chicago is such a trip
thats just amazing, and in downtown Chicago! Wish I had money to see it in person, that's just wild!!! Nascar on the Streets is just a refresher than the same ol' tracks.
This was definitely one of the best races of the season, no doubt about it.
So dope also while seeing a elevated CTA train passing by in the back drop.
As a Chicagoan we've all been deeply annoyed by this whole thing...but sure that was kind of cool :)
@@futureshocked I’m a Chicagoan too and thought it was great I don’t see why people would be annoyed when practically these are the same streets they shut down for the taste of Chicago that last a week, but this was refreshing and new for Chicago and I’m always down for spicing things up every once in a while and this was it.
@@iwouldliketoorderanumber1b79 Well that's the thing--we ALREADY have quite a few events that do indeed shut down that part of the city and also...this wasn't for us. The Taste, regardless of what it is now, started *for us*. But this was $250 starting tickets if they weren't scalped. Events we couldn't really go to (I do think Bubba Watson did community stuff though, that was really cool!). Know what I mean? Like yeah sure do it again, but make it more Chicagoan oriented.
@@futureshocked but the 250 can just be for the seats I feel like adding the taste to it does make it more Chicago oriented there’s also tons of great spots to watch the race for free while there. Standing right on Michigan ave you can see the track and cars going by without paying and the tourist are tasting all the foods of Chicago which could also give the taste the boost it needs as well by putting in front of more eyes with NASCAR. Nascar can swap out all the venders they had for the event with the taste venders, local businesses and I’m sure they would save money so it’s a win win for both parties. But I like everything you said.
The unheralded heros of Chicago... The tire barriers!
Miami, Dallas, kc, dc, Des Moines, Denver, Boston, Green Bay, Atlanta, etc ...i can see other cities wanting to host these in the future. this was phenomenal.
make it in Charlotte around old BofA building
Let’s not get carried away
Boston almost had an Indy car circuit some years ago but the guy behind it went down on money laundering and wire fraud.
I super enjoyed this street racing, do that again next year! Congrats to Shane van Gisbergen for winning at Chicago, I hope he comes back and races again in the near future.
This was a great race need more like this maybe 2 a season
Supercars stars showing they’re not flukes with Ambrose, McLaughlin, and now SVG
I was a hater before today... now the whole schedule should be street races. 🔥
Dam what a show Chicago was a nice host the rain definitely made the race very interesting
Let's be real guys. This is a better race than this year's COTA and Sonoma.
this is giving NASCAR a whole new vibe
As a Gizzy fan, i was so happy to see Shane adapting well in stock car and winning the race without much mistakes. What an impressive performance!!! Congrats!!!
I had my doubts, but what a great race this turned out to be! So many great drives throughout the field, like Justin Haley hanging on to P2 and Chris Buescher grabbing a top 10... and how great was it to see Shane van Gisbergen put on the show that he did?
sad that I couldn't watch this live over here in Germany. I hope a full replay will be available of this so I can rewatch it.
My man SVG decided enough of being a power house in SuperCar racing the Kiwi said lemme get a handle on a NASCAR then goes out and wins it on his debut 😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 SVG Your an absolute Animal love it
Wow I'm impressed with Nascar racing on streets with rain on top of it. I love how they put the flashing red tail lights like Indy and F1 and FIA IMSA
SVG's old Aussie V8 Supercar rival & Indycar driver, Scott McLaughlin, has to be impressed.
VaGisbergen is proof that we need more Aussie supercar drivers in NASCAR
Oh, Nascar, we need more. This was great.
I have been negative on NASCAR for years, but I have to admit, seeing them race in the rain and tire barriers back are the first positive things I have to say about NASCAR in a long time.
SVG 💪
SVG just was able to carry so much speed and even a tighter line. masterclass.
The idea of turning bacon into racing stripes was genius!
I already knew Shane had this wrapped up. Dude does this on the daily in V8 Supercars! Look him up!
SvG just has such a natural ability to control any car he drives
Great race. May start watching NASCAR again!
Van Ginsbergen bringing his SuperCar skills to Nascar in a big way. These cars should run more circuits like this, watching was far more interesting than the ovals, which have a certain charm for sure. Passing, door banging, Chicago had it all. Fantastic presentation all round.
Crazy race, wish every Nascar race was this exciting. Love the commentator constantly interfering once a car hit the tire barrier.
👏go SVG make us kiwis proud 👏 he's a very very strong driver in the wet, hope to see more of him👍
NASCAR is starting to become V8 Supercars (and not just because of the winner) and I'm all for it
And thus, history has been made.
SVG is a GOAT and still young!
This was definitely a cool race. Cars were sliding all over the place because of the rain, but it was an enjoyable race.
Nascar on street circuits is super dope. Though there were so many caution flags out, it just made for a better race
realy nice Finish!!
More nascar street race 🔥
It about time nascar evolves well done
This was best rece of season give us more of this i love it NBC radio like coverage is spot on
I still can’t believe Haley race as hard as he did for the lead. Considering who he was racing he did a great job. After starting 37th, I was just ready for next weekend. But that pit strategy worked out well. He led 23 laps which are his first of the year. Plus he gained 2 spots in the standings. Up to 21st. Hoping he can get a win soon.
This is what these new cars were built for.
Nope they weren't actually built for this.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld everything about these cars scream v8 supercar. get with it or get out the way, nascar’s going to be respected worldwide as a true test of skill like indycar is with the varied schedule they now have
@@wolfgangvonlichtenstein5222 no need
Now that was a lesson for the Nascar drivers
Oh wow didn't expect they'd do a road race this year. I can see those Le Man's upgrades going to be coming soon.
Shane made them look like a bunch of freaking amateurs hahaha
Considering most NASCAR regulars haven't driven in a street race before, or have only done so a couple of times, and that they very rarely run in wet conditions, obviously a three time champion in a series that races on multiple street circuits, and regularly runs in pouring rain, was going to be hard to beat. While Shane is a fantastic driver, he had the advantage compared to the NASCAR guys. It would be interesting to see him run at a speedway and see if he can replicate the results in a proper NASCAR race.
@@NathanM4A1 i mean yea you are right but they know these cars much better, they're driving then every weekend, Shane was completely new
@@falleny8084 Yes, but it doesn't really matter how well you know the car, when you throw it into conditions that they've hardly ever raced on, it pretty much levels the field. F1 drivers know their cars better than an Indy driver. But put F1 on a speedway track, and I'd bet on the Indy driver any day of the week. Legendary drivers like Andretti, Stewart, Larson, and Foyt, have shown that a talented driver can jump into any race vehicle, and come to grips with it in a short amount of time. The real challenge is adapting to a totally different style of racing. When SVG drove a sprintcar for the first few times, he was getting lapped every race, and wasn't keeping up with the field. It took him several races to get up to speed. Because it was a totally different type of racing. Street racing, in the wet, with a beefy high horsepower car that handles like a tank is bread and butter to him, more so than it is to a NASCAR driver.
Now THIS is racing!
No, it's not stock car racing.
@@pumpkinking5174 Yes it is. Get over it.
I hope they do this again next year
Never in my life did I think I would see a stack-up in NASCAR
That was a pretty awesome battle for the lead between Shane Van Gisbergen and Justin Haley
SVG played with him. Pushed him way off line to dirty up his tires, and let him sail right by. Thats race craft, and a schooling.
S.V.G. is a European Supercar Driver, An environment like this for him is a cake walk. Compared to the races that he has to perform with greater competition.
New Zealand Supercar driver
@@thesollys9540you know us Aussies claim him just like Russell Crowe 😂
European!? Shane is most definitely not European. I don't think he has ever even raced there before.
@@JokesFromDadLand we're happy to let you have Rusty
Someone failed geography. Please tell us what continent you believe Australia and New Zealand are on.
What a race.. we need more of this!
Currently laughing at all the bozo haters that said this race was the end of nascar only for it to be the best race ive ever seen nascar put together. The mix of rain, different surfaces, and narrow straights is just absolute chaotic perfection😤
Exactly and 90% of people who bought tickets was their first nascar race. Like fans were loving it and yes it sucked it got cut short maybe flood lights of headlights next year if we do it again
V8SC is everything we want NASCAR to be. The way the cars drive, brake, and corner is amazing. So to put a Kiwi in a NASCAR and take the pack to school is no surprise. V8SC came to Chicago and turned the NASCAR world upside down. Although it's right side up for SVG now.
Wow! Bumper to bumper and side by side pushing so hard through turns... really good racing action!!
As an Australian I thought when I saw the start how great Marcus Ambrose would have been in these conditions. When I saw SVG moving up I thought he'd find the conditions much easier to handle than all the other NASCAR guys because they just don't get these sorts of races. We get these sorts of conditions all the time where the track is wet and dries out. Plus there's a lot of bitumen to concrete changes on this course and that makes a wet to dry transition even harder.
He also races in Europe a lot so driving a Left Hand Car is nothing new to him.
And so you know SVG is actually a New Zealander like Scott Dixon the Indy car driver.
I was here at the race bro...SVG spanked NASCAR. To see in person those last 2 laps...it wasn't EVEN CLOSE! 😮
Also Scott McLaughlin. 🇳🇿
That was intense! Great win by Shane. Welcome to the big show!
What a beautiful race setting this was....where else will you see race cars leaving an apex with a CTA commuter subway train passing by in the background all while the street lights are magically illuminating everything👌
Chicago did a great job for once👍
this race was a banger, the cars who only turn left had an fantastic race. i think nascar should go kore often to street circuits uf they want international spotlight. road curses and ovals are cool but with races like that the world is gonna watch with big eyes. maybe nascar fans dont want that idk im not a mascar fan myself. or now i am kinda because that was brilliant. funny somehow that you have the same overley than indycar. i wish formula 1 would race at the same time like this race. but only with city lights and without the bright white flood lights. the ambient on the end was crazy vibe. very Beautyfull. want something like that more often
They need to do more of these street course races
With Shane being a 3-time Aussie SuperCar Champion there was no doubt he could win in Chicago, just wait until he comes over full time in 2024.
nope 2025 he said 1 more year full time for v8s then he wants to go over to america
I wonder if he'd prefer to race Nascar or Indycar. He also hung out with Scott McLaughlin a couple weeks ago at Road America.
@@UNHchabo Just ask Jimmie Johnson, those Indycars are scary sometimes especially if you crash, they don't have the bulk of a Gen 3 car to protect you, and Shane is a 3-time V8 Supercar Champion so he'll probably stay with what he knows.
He's not coming over full-time. He'll run part-time at the road courses at most, the only places where he'll be competitive and have a shot at winning. He's never raced on ovals and it'll be a bad move to leave Supercar where he dominates to try Nascar full time and struggle just like Marcos Ambrose did.
@@Chuck59ish McLaughlin is also a 3-time Supercars champion, and now runs full-time in Indycar. He's even competitive on some of the oval races.
The cutting the race 25 laps shorter really changed the whole race.
VanGisbergen is a maniac for real 🤣. Casually won the race in his debut
What a cluster!! But that young man can drive!!
Need to add one more of these street circuits favorite race of the season
Cant wait for Bathurst now!!! V8 supercars baby!!!
Just the fact that I got to see the windshield wipers running full speed had me enjoying this version of nascar.
NASCAR racers in the rain!! great race.
I really enjoyed the announcers this weekend they made that race fun to watch!
Maybe this will bring more street circuits??? This was really awesome racing.
The moment I saw Austin Dillon "run hard" I knew he was gonna wreck
