A Pole Position Masterclass
Starting from the front after a blistering qualifying lap of 95.483 mph, the New Zealander led every circuit, leveraging his renowned road‑racing precision to pull away from the field.
While defending champion Connor Zilisch struggled with a slow‑leak tire that dropped him to 30th, his teammate Brent Crews lined up beside him on the front row and ultimately finished third after a hard‑fought battle.
The event also showcased a strong performance from Taylor Gray of Joe Gibbs Racing, who climbed to fourth, while Hendrick Motorsports drivers Anthony Alfredo, Parker Retzlaff and Corey Day rounded out the top contenders.
The win adds another chapter to van Gisbergen’s growing NASCAR résumé, underscoring his dominance on road‑course layouts and cementing his status as a leading figure in the series.
