Shane van Gisbergen earns NASCAR Cup pole in Mexico City

Shane van Gisbergen went to the top early in qualifying with a 1:32.776s lap in the No. 88 Chevrolet…and no one was able to beat it. This is the Trackhouse Racing driver's second career pole and his first of the 2025 season. Sitting 33rd in the championship standings, he desperately needs a race win and this could be an opportunity for him to shake up the playoff standings.

He will be joined on the front row by RFK Racing's Ryan Preece, who denied Trackhouse a front row lockout. He ended the session 0.064s adrift of SVG's pole time. Preece hasn’t yet won a race in the Cup Series.
