SVG Leads Xfinity NASCAR Chevy Efforts At Indy 2024: Video

The NASCAR Chevy teams didn’t have much to write home about at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 20th, 2024 – except for Shane Van Gisbergen, driver of the No. 97 Chevy Camaro SS, who posted a fourth-place finish on the oval track on Saturday.

Van Gisbergen opted to take on four fresh tires in the closing laps at Indy. He powered through the final restart with less than 10 laps to go, making gains as the laps ticked down, enough to net him a finish inside the top four. It was a valuable experience for the former Australian Supercars Championship veteran, who has three road course wins so far in his rookie Xfinity Series season, but has recently struggled at oval tracks.

“It’s tough and I’m obviously still learning and I’m probably still a bit too conservative but I feel like the car got better and I got better,” Van Gisbergen said. “This Xfinity Series is so fun, the way the cars move around and the way they’re all sliding. I had a blast.”

Austin Hill’s No. 21 Camaro slotted in sixth place, the next-best Bow Tie team. Daniel Dye, AJ Allmendinger, Justin Allgaier, and Carson Kvapil, all driving NASCAR Chevy race cars, filled out the rest of the top 10.

Up front, Riley Herbst, driver of the No. 98 Ford Mustang Dark Horse, took the lead from Cole Custer’s No. 00 Mustang in the final corner to win.

A massive wreck in the opening laps took out 12 cars, including several NASCAR Chevy contenders. Sam Mayer’s No. 1 Camaro triggered the melee, and the race car suffered critical damage that rendered it unable to complete even a single lap.
