NASCAR Qualifying: Shane Van Gisbergen Wins Mexico City Pole

First-year full-time NASCAR Cup Series driver and road racing extraordinaire Shane van Gisbergen captured the pole in a rain-shortened qualifying session held Saturday for Sunday’s inaugural Cup race in Mexico City.

The Trackhouse Racing driver, who memorably prevailed in his first career Cup start — which came in 2023 at the Chicago Street Course — will lead the field to the green flag for Sunday’s Viva Mexico 250. The race, set for the 2.42-mile Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez road course, will be the first Cup Series points race on non-U.S. soil since 1958.
