Shane van Gisbergen wins the pole for Cup Series race in downtown Chicago
CHICAGO: When it comes to NASCAR’s street course in downtown Chicago, there is Shane van Gisbergen, and then there is everyone else. Van Gisbergen has won the pole for Sunday’s Grant Park 165. The 36-year-old New Zealander turned a lap at 88.338 mph on a tricky 2.2-mile course that was made more treacherous by temperatures in the 90s Fahrenheit on Saturday. “Practice wasn’t that great for us, but when we went out for qualifying, the car felt really good,” van Gisbergen said.
