Shane van Gisbergen's race recap in the Chase race at Kansas in 2026
Check out Shane van Gisbergen's race recap in the NASCAR Cup Series Chase race at Kansas Speedway during the 2026 season.
Shane van Gisbergen secured a 24th place finish in the Chase race at Kansas Speedway on Sunday, after starting the race from the 17th position. Driving for Trackhouse Racing, the Australian driver used the event to gain valuable experience on a traditional 1.5-mile NASCAR oval. Despite avoiding major incidents, van Gisbergen gradually lost track position as the race progressed.
The No. 97 Chevrolet fell one lap behind the winner, Kyle Larson, completing 266 of the available 267 circuits, losing seven positions from where it started. This result earned van Gisbergen 13 points. Unfortunately, the driver did not qualify for the Chase, meaning he is not part of the current championship battle. For van Gisbergen, Kansas provided another full-distance intermediate-track race to further enhance his oval experience, even though the final result fell outside the top 20.
