Shane van Gisbergen, the New Zealand racing star known as SVG, primarily drives in NASCAR's top series. As of the 2026 season, he's back with Trackhouse Racing in a familiar ride.

Current Cup Series Car

SVG pilots the No. 97 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 full-time for Trackhouse Racing in the NASCAR Cup Series. This follows his 2025 stint in the No. 88 Chevrolet, where he adapted to ovals after dominating road courses—like his record-tying four straight road wins that year.

The switch to No. 97 nods to his Supercars Championship roots with Triple Eight Race Engineering, where he clinched three titles (2016, 2021, 2022) in the same number.

Trackhouse expanded with a charter buyout, pairing him with stars like Ross Chastain for high-stakes battles.

Part-Time Xfinity Rides

In select NASCAR Xfinity Series events, van Gisbergen wheels the No. 9 Chevrolet Camaro SS for JR Motorsports. This setup lets him sharpen skills across series while chasing more victories.

Career Highlights & Versatility

  • Supercars Legend : 80 wins, three Bathurst 1000 triumphs (2020, 2022, 2023)—all in Chevrolet Camaro ZL1s.
  • NASCAR Breakthrough : Shocked the field with a 2023 Chicago Street Race win in Project 91, then four 2025 Cup road victories as a rookie.
  • Beyond Stock Cars : He's tackled GT racing, rallying (WRC2 podium debut), and even the New Zealand Grand Prix from the pit lane.

SVG's shift to NASCAR showcases his adaptability—from Supercars street circuits to American ovals—keeping fans buzzing into 2026.

TL;DR : No. 97 Chevy Camaro ZL1 (Cup) / No. 9 Chevy SS (Xfinity part- time).
