Van Gisbergen made his NASCAR Cup debut at Chicago earlier this month on the streets of Chicago. After starting third, he was able to win on debut after a dramatic late-race charge to the front. No driver had managed to accomplish the feat at the top level of NASCAR in over 60 years. Just over
Power was running fourth, closing in on Alex Palou and Colton Herta, when he was forced into a splash-and-go stop as the white flag flew after his team miscalculated how much fuel he had used on his final stint.

Romain Grosjean – a 10-time podium finisher in Formula 1 – was expected to excel when he switched to Andretti Autosport last year. He had shown great promise with minnow team Dale Coyne Racing after crossing the Atlantic in 2021. But he lies 13th in points right now, exactly where he ended up in last
Daly, 31, drove the Honda-powered #60 AutoNation/SiriusXM-backed car at Mid-Ohio after Pagenaud suffered a huge crash in practice. Daly finished 20th, ahead of team-mate Helio Castroneves.

Power and the chasing Marcus Ericsson’s Chip Ganassi Racing entry were both forced to make shock splash-and-go pitstops as the white flag flew in order to make it to the finish.

Palou, who increased his points lead to 117 over Chip Ganassi Racing team-mate Scott Dixon, damaged his wing in a collision with a spinning Helio Castroneves that sent him into a concrete wall at the penultimate restart.

Lundgaard’s dominant victory from pole position on the streets of Toronto on Sunday marked a huge turnaround for Bobby Rahal’s team after a disastrous Indianapolis 500 was followed by another poor performance at the Detroit Grand Prix.

In a mixed-up strategy race, Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing driver Lundgaard dominated the opening stint but a yellow at half-distance after Romain Grosjean crashed his Andretti Autosport car set off a chain of events that meant he had to battle his way back to the head of the field. Lundgaard passed points leader Alex Palou,
On the track where Rossi had achieved race-winning success in MotoGP on three occasions, ‘The Doctor’ achieved a breakthrough in his new career.

Sections of the track had been
Tomas Enge’s long stint as part of Prodrive’s sportscar operation yielded great success. He won the GTS class at the Le Mans 24 Hours with the Ferrari 550 Maranello in 2003 and claimed the Le Mans Series LMP1 crown in 2009 aboard the Lola-Aston Martin. But despite not managing to add to his Le Mans

McLaren Racing chief Brown says Palou’s IndyCar results this year have been “very impressive”, alongside which the 26-year-old Spaniard has conducted multiple tests in its TPC (testing previous car) F1 programme.

Shane van Gisbergen’s miracle NASCAR win completes the creation of a second dimension for Supercars. It is no longer just a destination category. It can be a pathway as well.

Chip Ganassi Racing ace Dixon has conceded his Spanish team-mate is going to be “tough to overcome” after scoring his fourth win of 2023 in the midpoint race of the season at Mid-Ohio last weekend.

Both the second-tier Xfinity and Cup Series raced on the 2.2-mile, 12-turn course created through Grant Park in downtown Chicago, but the biggest hurdle faced by NASCAR ended up being battles with the weather.

Herta has qualified on pole for the most recent races at Road America and Mid-Ohio, but having slumped from first to fifth in the former after a strategy error, he was the architect of his own downfall on Sunday when he was caught speeding in the pits. Herta had already lost the lead to series
The future of the three-time Supercars champion has been a hot topic for some time, based largely on his dissatisfaction with the new Gen3 cars.
