    Shane van Gisbergen's exit from Supercars has been confirmed and he'll leave for NASCAR at the end of the season, with one year remaining on his contract

    Shane van Gisbergen's exit from Supercars has been confirmed and he'll leave for NASCAR at the end of the season, with one year remaining on his contract


    The Kiwi driver's Triple Eight boss Jamie Whincup has repeatedly made it clear he would not stand in van Gisbergen's way if the 34-year-old wanted to race full-time in the United States.

    In July, van Gisbergen became the first driver in 60 years to win in their NASCAR debut when he conquered the streets of Chicago to stun the American touring car series.

    The Giz won his first Supercars championship in 2016 and was near-unstoppable as he claimed the 2021 and 2022 titles.
