Shane Robert van Gisbergen (born 9 May 1989), also known by his initials SVG, is a New Zealand professional racing driver.

[3] After competing in Motocross, Quarter Midgets and karts from 1998 to 2004, van Gisbergen placed third in the 2004/2005 New Zealand Formula First Championship and won the associated Rookie of the Year award.

A win in 2005/06 New Zealand Formula Ford Championship was accompanied by another Rookie of the Year title and was followed by a second-place finish in 2006/07 Toyota Racing Series.

[4] In 2014, van Gisbergen co-drove to the BNT NZ Supertourers Hankook Super Series championship with primary driver Simon Evans.

[6] Van Gisbergen ran a Brabham BT62 in the South Island Endurance Series at Euromarque Motorsport Park in 2023, with co-driver and car owner Dwayne Carter.

A near-identical issue repeated itself in the 2014 edition, where with 10 laps to go – he stalled and the starter motor failed, costing him almost a certain victory and he finished 16th.

[citation needed] In 2016, van Gisbergen moved to the Triple Eight Race Engineering team, alongside two of the most successful drivers in series history; Jamie Whincup and Craig Lowndes.

[15] The pair won the 2016 Enduro Cup, including three second-place finishes and Prémat's first race victory in the championship at the 2016 Castrol Gold Coast 600, and became the first non-Australian drivers combination to win.

[16] At Pukekohe, van Gisbergen became the first New Zealander to lift the trophy, named in honour of Jason Richards, who died of cancer in 2011.

Van Gisbergen controversially escaped a penalty for spinning his wheels during a pit stop at the Auckland SuperSprint at Pukekohe.

[citation needed] In 2022, he won the Bathurst 1000 with Garth Tander in what would be the final race for Holden after the manufacturer was closed by GM.

[27] He will once again miss the final round of the championship at the Nürburgring in Germany due to the Sandown 500 V8 Supercar race being held on the same weekend.

In qualifying on Saturday, van Gisbergen set the fastest ever officially recorded lap of the Mount Panorama Circuit to achieve pole position.

[2] Until his second career start, van Gisbergen was also one of only two drivers to have a perfect winning record in NASCAR, briefly joining Marvin Burke in that accomplishment.

[33] On 19 July 2023, Trackhouse Racing announced van Gisbergen would make his second start of the 2023 season at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.

[37] On 14 September 2023, Trackhouse announced that van Gisbergen would drive part-time all three of NASCAR's national series in 2024 as part of a development deal with the team.

[38] On 13 December 2023, Kaulig Racing announced that van Gisbergen would compete full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series driving the No.

[39] Van Gisbergen also had to run the ARCA race at Daytona in order to receive approval to compete at superspeedway events in NASCAR.

13 at the Charlotte Roval, van Gisbergen would score his first career Cup Series pole while also leading 21 laps and finishing in 7th place.
