Shane van Gisbergen stuns in record 16+ second NASCAR Cup win in Mexico

Sunday in Mexico City, Shane van Gisbergen (SVG) was nearly unstoppable, driving off with the victory by almost 17 seconds. It ended up being the biggest margin of victory in any Cup race since the 2009 season. Christopher Bell finished a distant second with Chase Elliott third, but neither could even see the Trackhouse Racing Team driver at the checkered flag.
