    Shane van Gisbergen has dominated the closing stages of NASCAR's second division series race at the Circuit of the Americas

    Shane van Gisbergen has dominated the closing stages of NASCAR's second division series race at the Circuit of the Americas


    He's stormed from sixth to take the one after a late restart.

    But he'll only start from 13th on the grid for tomorrow's Cup race.

    New Zealand compatriot Scott McLaughlin will have pole for tomorrow morning's Indycar season opener in St Petersburg.

    It's his third pole at the race - and on Sky Sport he says it's the perfect start after a disappointing year last year.



    MOTORSPORT WITH THE NEW CRC CERAMIC ARMOUR.  FOR THAT SHOWROOM FINISH.
