Shane van Gisbergen will return to the Trackhouse Racing No. 91 Chevrolet at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course, as the team announced yesterday.
Van Gisbergen won the inaugural Chicago Street Race in his NASCAR Cup Series debut on July 3 in Trackhouse’s Project91 entry, which sought to put motorsports’ best global talent outside the stock-car ranks in competitive equipment at NASCAR’s top level.
After SVG became just the seventh driver to win his Cup debut and first since 1963, the three-time Australian V8 Supercars champion will return to the seat for his second NASCAR endeavor and a rare chance to go 2-for-2 in Cup Series starts. The Verizon 200 at the Brickyard is set for Sunday, Aug. 13 at 2:30 p.m.
