Shane van Gisbergen captured the pole position for the NASCAR All-Star Open, delivering a strong performance that puts him in prime position to race his way into the main All-Star Race. The New Zealand native, known for his success in Supercars and recent NASCAR ventures, posted the fastest lap during qualifying, outpacing a competitive field of hopefuls looking to earn one of the coveted transfer spots.
The All-Star Open is a last-chance qualifier for drivers who haven’t already secured a spot in the prestigious NASCAR All-Star Race. Only a few will advance from the Open—typically the top finishers and a fan vote winner—so starting up front is crucial.
Van Gisbergen, driving for Trackhouse Racing, showcased his road racing precision on the short oval layout, a testament to his growing adaptation to stock car racing. Ty Gibbs, Josh Berry, and Noah Gragson also posted strong laps, setting the stage for a highly competitive showdown.
With a blend of rising stars and veteran drivers hungry for a shot at glory, the All-Star Open promises intense racing. All eyes will be on van Gisbergen to see if he can convert his pole into a transfer position in this high-stakes battle.
