    Watching this man qualifying was insane and I saw it coming. What I didn't see was him passing 17 cars. Wow I am a fan for life. I hope he learns ovals and wins every road course nascar has to offer. Step it up boys, new sheriff in town #SVG

      That's a good point, you didn't see it if you only watched the TV broadcast. I had it on, and NBC streamed Shane's live in-car cam on RUclips. after the pit, he fell back to 18th because of the shuffle. He did pass them and it was kind of funny, they had the rear bumper cam on for most of the end of the race and you saw cars going backwards, smacking walls, hitting the runoff and tires - He let the front come to him in a lot of cases. But by this time, he got hit in the ass by LaJoi and that switched him to "ON" and he set sail. He'd had enough of getting bumped - no one ever got close to that other than Justin Haley when he did the crossover.
      In defense of our Cup drivers, they've never run a street course. They went to this track blind, and WET! Everything played to SVG's strengths ~ the "Perfect Storm" And it was absolute amazing to witness.

    We yanks have known for a very long time the level of quality that comes from our cousins down south. Anyone who has paid attention remembers Sir Jack Brabham and Bruce Mclaren, their racing and dominance in their own cars, F1 and CanAm, many others also in the interim and currently. We have also been humbled in the "Americas" Cup, many times. V8 Supercars are only recently being televised so our exposure isn't very much but many of us at least know the Bathurst Panorama Hill race. Hairy-chested racing for sure. Seeing the Nascar entrant at Le Mans gives one hope of a global V8 Supercar / Nascar series, I think it would "take off".

      As an American, I think the V8SC guys have a level of race craft on road courses that's a couple of levels above NASCAR, and SVG most definitely has a feel on the brakes that NASCAR drivers don't really have the chance to develop. The frustrating part of NASCAR road racing is that the guys don't really have to develop high level race craft because they're allowed to use the bumper to move people out of the way.

    Calling the rest of the NASCAR field ‘the best drivers in the Country’ I believe is well intentioned, but inaccurate. NASCAR drivers IMHO are the best Oval Drivers in the WORLD! (And Oval Racing is a whole ‘nuther World) The Chicago race was a matter of putting the Best Oval Drivers on a wet street circuit (not an uncommon SUPERCARS venue) and then being surprised when Shane excelled. And no, I wasn’t expecting him to win. Neither was I shocked when he qualified 3rd. Many of the highlight clips online from Chicago could have been from Newcastle! 😊
    Or am I the only one that thought he was watching a Supercars race??
    FWIW, I live in “the Colonies” (North Carolina, to be specific), and I grew up watching King Richard (Petty) and many others since then. About five
    years ago I found that I could stream SUPERCARS and have become as big a fan as I am of NASCAR. I’m not “dedicated” enough to watch live because of the time difference, but I haven’t missed a race in years!
    What I *will* say is, had Shane gone to Charlotte and won on an Oval, I would have been STUNNED!!

      Ambrose never smoked the field like that though! It took him 3-4 years before he won a race if I remember correctly. While I do think he'll be T5 in any Nascar road race he enters, when they go to the more traditional tracks like Watkins Glen, Roval, COTA, etc he won't be 0.8 seconds faster than the field. None of the Americans had ever done a street circuit driving inches from walls and SVG has been doing 10-12 a year for 15 years!
