Shane van Gisbergen is on the pole for The Loop 110 NASCAR Xfinity Series race on July 5 at the Chicago street course. SVG, making his first Xfinity start of the season, qualified early in the first group and posted a lap of 1:30.

Two years on from his loud debut in the NASCAR world, Shane van Gisbergen proved once again that no one has an answer for him on a street course. In all three years of the Chicago Street Race, van Gisbergen has been the best on pace and was only denied a clean sweep from 2023-2025 due to a wreck that wasn't his fault.

Since the inaugural event two years ago, the Cup and Xfinity series have been affected by inclement weather. After both series’ races were shortened by thunderstorms in 2023, the Cup Series ended 17 laps short of the full distance last year because of rain delays.
