The 67th running of the Coca-Cola 600 wasn't the best oval finish of Shane van Gisbergen's NASCAR career, but it was his most impressive to those paying attention to the No. 97 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet.
SVG's best Cup finish on an oval came at Atlanta earlier this year, placing sixth. He has one other top ten -- P10 at Kansas last fall. Charlotte was oh so close to becoming his third oval top ten on Sunday, but instead, it was his fourth 11th place finish since moving up to the Cup Series (all on different oval tracks).
