Chicago-Veteran Road Course King and 18-year-old for the throne on the streets of Windi City in a dream match-up, Shane Van Gisbergen on Saturday to school in winning the loop 110 to school.
2.2-Meal, 12-Turns Chicago Street Course, Van Gisbergen with his cool suit up on a warm day, van Gisbergen widened the run-up runner-up conner Zilisk in Turn 1 and survived with two laps in the march event.
With the zilisk in the prescribed but fruitless discovery, Van Gisbergen crossed the Finnish line from his partner Red Bull Athlete 0.823 seconds ago to start the victory of his first NASCAR XFINITY series in this season, which was in Chicago, in Chicago and fourth of his career.
Poll winning van Gisbergen had to remove not only the heat, but also a Balki carburetor and suspicious strategy, which put them on the track before the end of stage 1, while most of the cars behind him came on the pit for tires and fuels.
“The strategy went wrong, but it worked well,” Van Gisbergen said, which will also begin on the pole in the race for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup series. “The car was a rocket. (Zilsk) is a great young driver, and it was the first time I really drove him. I knew it was my opportunity, and I took it. Great for the team 1-2 for the team.”
Three -time Australian Supercars Champions, 36 -year -old New Jondander, this year are the sixth separate drivers winning for junior motorsports, the most series of chain history for an outfit in the same season.
Zilisk admitted that he was surprised by the aggression of the attack in Turn 1 of the van Gisbergen, although he insisted that it was not a dirty step.
“I was clear there, just barely, straight to the front, and I just let him go inside me, and he took advantage of it,” Zilisk said, who started 35th after killing a tire barrier during the first practice in the day. “I should have been a little more aggressive there. I felt that he was going to run me a little cleaner.
“I am just better and will not let that stuff happen. I will learn from it and move forward.”
The third place was the best Sheldon Creed, which was 3.141 seconds from the race winner. Creed took the field in green for a restart with 13 laps, but lost the top spot before going back to the Start/Finnish line.
“I’ve got better in road course racing,” said Krid. “Those people are really good, and when SVG went to me, I let him go because he had a greater speed. Maybe I could racing them and gave me a shot.”
Obviously, this did not happen.
15-Lap, staying on the late track in the first phase, the van Gisbergen was abolished the mid-pack when he eventually stood at Lap 26 at 26. He rose to 19th position at Lap 29 and took care after an inporting debris and worked to move forward quickly.
Till Lap 36, he was of the seventh year and began a fixed discovery of the zilisk, which led Laps 38 to 48. At lap 44, with the saving of the fuel of the zilisk, the van Gisbergen raised the fastest lap (90.947 seconds) of the race to turn two -lap shootouts for turn to 3.5 seconds to 2.3 seconds.
On the fresher tires, an advantage of the latter pit stop, the van Gisbergen prevails. Van Gisbergen led 11 laps in the zilisk and 27 laps in nine of the Creed.
Austin Hill finished fourth and Atlanta winner Nick Sanchez finished fifth. Jesse Love, Sammy Smith, Sam Mayor, Austin Green and Brain Pole completed the top 10.
Justin Olgier, who finished 23rd after suffering from late break issues in the race, shakes 49 points in the series standing at a distance of 49 points.
