See It: NASCAR Driver High-Fives Team While Doing Burnout

Shane van Gisbergen is the king of the road .. courses.

The Trackhouse Racing driver has won three of the four non-oval races on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule this year and there are two more to go.

His latest win came on Sunday at Sonoma Raceway, where he led 97 of 110 laps from pole to beat Chase Briscoe by 1.1 seconds after a late restart with five laps to go.

After the win, the former Australian Supercars driver took one more victory lap, drifting his Chevrolet around the 2.5-mile track.

As he pulled onto the front stretch, he turned on full burnout mode and crawled along the pit wall in a cloud of smoke as his crew came to congratulate them.

As he passed by, he casually reached out his hand and gave out high-fives without missing a beat.

Despite his three wins locking him into the playoffs, van Gisbergen sits 26th in the point standings due to poor oval track performances, but is the number three seed in the playoffs.

“We built up all year, got better and better, now we need to keep getting better on the ovals and start proving some people wrong,” van Gisbergen said after the Sonoma race.

The Cup Series still has Watkins Glen International to visit before the playoffs start, but the first round is all ovals, with Darlington, World Wide Technology Raceway and Bristol.

The first and only non-oval playoff track is the Charlotte Roval, which is at the end of the round of 12. Van Gisbergen’s best oval result this season came on the Charlotte Motor Speedway oval in the Coca-Cola 600, where he finished 14th in the crown jewel race.
