Shane van Gisbergen's miracle NASCAR win shows that Supercars isn't just a destination – it can be a pathway as well. RepcoSC NASCAR

Let’s call it theExcept, from what we now know, taking the Scott McLaughlin approach doesn’t lock you into Supercars for life. It can be a destination if you want it to be but it can also be a pathway.
The first is McLaughlin. What he has achieved in his two-and-a-bit years as an IndyCar driver is nothing short of remarkable. He’s won races. He looks like he belongs. He looks like a guy brought up in the IndyCar system. The second, more timely example is van Gisbergen’s shock NASCAR win on debut. For the first time in the category’s modern era, a driver rocked up and won, straight away. He became just the sixth driver born outside the US to a win a Cup Series race. He had completed a single, half-day test in a Cup car heading into the race meeting.

Between them, they’ve won every title since 2018, often in dominant fashion.
