At NASCAR’s Chicago Street Race, Australian driver Shane Van Gisbergen shocked the world with his win over the finest of the NASCAR Cup Series. With this a new player had emerged in NASCAR’s silly season as numerous teams would contact the driver about his future and possibly coming over to NASCAR. These stories persisted on and became rumors that now have recently been proven to be very real. So today we are going to look at which teams could have space and why they would or wouldn’t be a good fit for SVG. And we will ask, “What NASCAR team will Shane Van Gisbergen drive for?!

Where in NASCAR do you see Shane Van Gisbergen going in 2024?
no where because matt dibendetto is taking over the world
Trackhouse

He could drive for Stewart Hass.
I can see SVG sign with trackhouse as a third driver stick what he got.
He can do whatever he feels like. When you have teams wanting you to come drive for them, you’re a very talented driver. He’ll land somewhere amazing for sure.
He will stay with Justin and Pitbull, there is no way he goes anywhere else.
I think you’ll be driving the live fast number 78 for Red Bull
I’d say Trackhouse, but they’re not planning on a 3rd full-time charter. Only a matter of time whether or not project 91 goes full-time.
They last spoke about not expanding before the Anheuser Busch deal was done with Ross Chastain. With that full time sponsorship I can definitely see Trackhouse expanding now.
Unlikely but if Alex Palou the Indycar points leader goes to formula 1 or if Chip Ginassi comes up with the money to keep him, I can see someone like Zack Brown at Arrow McLaran after losing out on Palou looking to make a splash hiring SVG.
After the success Scott McLaughlin (who used to be SVGs top challenger in Supercars) has had in Indycar, I can see Zack Brown buying him.
Arrow McLaran has also been forming relationships with NASCAR (Kyle Larson running 2024 Indy 500). SVG can probably have a part time NASCAR deal with another Chevy team, like Trackhouse.
Not as much money in Indycar as NASCAR but Zack Brown has money to shell out. He can get testing time in a McLaran F1 car and as mentioned run some NASCAR races as well.
Trackhouse, SHR, or a year in the JRM #8 are all pretty nice options. SHR needs him, but a year of ovals at JRM would help him develop.
If SVG goes to NASCAR in 2024, I hope he does well. I also hope that fellow Supercars driver Brodie Kostecki gets a good result for RCR at Indy later this year.
Would love if he brought Red Bull back to Cup for at least a few races
I just hope he gets a decent car coz he could be amazing if given proper opportunity.
Svg would be perfect for a jrm startup driver, he’s experienced enough as a driver to not tear up equipment and has sponsors interested
The xfinity idea is a great move! Didn’t think of it. It’s definitely the smart move.
I have an interesting option: Austin Dillon moves from the Cup car to a management position, perhaps running some Xfinity and truck races. The 3 changes to the 97 and SVG steps in to drive as teammate to Kyle Busch. Red Bull comes over with him.
We must share a brain. Check out my comment.
Sponsorship is the operative word, car racing is fully dependent upon such support. ” the Gizz ” is unique, an expert exponent of race driving craft. His application to his craft is enormous & must always be given great respect. Many forms of mobility racing has seen SVG excel with flying colours. We can expect SVG in his 1st year of NASCAR racing to stand tall & proud as a winner on the podium of ” Stockcars. ” He knows how to win … only winners grin !!!!!!!!!!!! He is a Triple Champion Winner.
I watched Harry Gant win 4 in a row when he was 51 driving the Skoal Bandit
SVG is now the Shohei Ohtani of the NASCAR world.
SVG is an absolute weapon. He can take 3-4 wins and go to the chase with serious points. He’s biggest advantage is how well he controls the tyre wear on a road course. I’ve seen him do Chicago things to the Supercars series drivers too. He will struggle on 1.5s and the Superspeedways but Bristol? Martinsville and Richmond? Yeah I think he’ll pick up that style of racing pretty quick. He is a special driver above and beyond Ambrose, who I love.
SVG said he is not interested in running the plate ovals. I don’t think he would run Xfinity either. He is more familiar with the Cup car tech. It would be interesting to see him run Short and medium ovals. I think he might try WEC as he stated he wants to run the Nurburgring.
I completely agree with the concept of running a year in the xfinity series. What I would love to see is for him to run a year with JRM, then at the end of 2024, Austin Dillon step down as driver and partner with his grandfather as an owner and bring SVG to RCR. With Shane’s raw talent and a mature Kyle Busch as a mentor, the sky is the limit. While I’m fantasizing, let’s go ahead and have Dale Jr become part owner of RCR, giving JRM xfinity drivers a sort of built-in landing target in the cup series. And… You would have the most ironic owner/driver pairing since DW drove for DEI.
