Richard Petty shared the secret behind Shane van Gisbergen's incredible performance

Richard Petty touched upon Shane van Gisbergen's recent surge in performance in road courses and revealed that it was the Kiwi driver's two decades of experience that helped him achieve success in NASCAR. Speaking about this, here's what he said in the Petty Family Racing podcast with Dale Inman:

"Well, his secret is, the experiences he's had for 20 years on road courses. It's gonna be interesting on how his confidence has been built up, running against all those rest of the cars out there." "So he knows he can beat them on road courses. Now he says ok, if I can beat 'em on a road course, why can't I beat 'em on round tracks?" he further added.

Notably, Shane van Gisbergen recently claimed three wins in quick succession on road courses — in Mexico, Sonoma, and Pocono, and two of them have come back-to-back (Sonoma and Pocono).

With this, he not only qualified for the playoffs but also improved his regular-season standings. Meanwhile, as Petty mentioned, SVG's excellence in racing on road courses comes from his immense experience in the Supercars Championship and GT racing.
