SHANE van GISBERGEN
No. 97 WeatherTech Chevrolet Camaro
Shane van Gisbergen qualified 16th for the Ambetter Health 302 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
On lap six, the first caution came out. The No. 97 team remained out with most of the field, and Van Gisbergen restarted the stage in 23rd. During Stage 1, Van Gisbergen reported that his car was extremely loose, and he battled to maintain position. On lap 32, the No. 97 WeatherTech Chevrolet lost power and was sent to the garage for repairs.
After repairs, Van Gisbergen re-entered the field on lap 64 of the race, 33 laps down. Two laps later, the Chevrolet’s mechanical problems returned, and it was sent back to the garage for more repairs.
The No. 97 re-entered the field at the stage break. On lap 135, the No. 97 WeatherTech Chevrolet lost power for good and ended Van Gisbergen’s race early. He finished 38th.
"Man, that really sucks! Proud of my Kaulig Racing team for continuing to work on the WeatherTeach car and get us back on track a few times. Had a decent qualifying effort, just disappointing our race had to end like that. Hoping for a better day tomorrow in the Cup car."
