Shane Van Gisbergen Makes History with NASCAR Cup Series Win in Debut

The race was shortened to 75 laps due to rain, but Van Gisbergen was never in danger of losing the lead after taking it from Justin Haley with five laps to go. He held off Haley and the rest of the field to score the victory, becoming the first road course specialist to win a race on a schedule oriented around those tracks since Mark Donohue did it for Team Penske in 1973.
