SVG wins his first NASCAR XFinity Race at Portland International Raceway 🏆

Shane van Gisbergen qualified second for the Pacific Office Automation 147, starting the 75-lap event on Saturday afternoon. By lap 15 SVG worked his way back into second after dropping to third on lap one. SVG took over the race lead on lap 16 and lead the field until making a scheduled green-flag pit stop with two laps remaining in the stage. He started the second stage from the lead on lap 29, but following contact on a restart, Van Gisbergen slipped to fifth on lap 34 but maintained his position, finishing the second stage on lap 50. Van Gisbergen started the final stage in 10th with 21 laps remaining in the race.

SVG worked his way up to second when caution flag waved once again with 13 laps remaining in the race. Staying out, the Quad Lock team restarted second with eight laps remaining. Following another quick caution, Van Gisbergen maintained his position and restarted in second once again with four laps remaining in the 75-lap event. On the restart, Van Gisbergen took over the lead and never looked back, earning his first-career NASCAR Xfinity Series Victory.

Awesome day, really stoked to get a win for Quad Lock! The track was cool, really enjoyed it and the fans. Race was awesome, it was up and down like a yoyo. Another road course next week! Should be a fun couple weeks, pressure is off now we’re locked into the playoffs.
