Getting used to NASCAR-style pit stops has been its own challenge for Van Gisbergen as he prepares to make his debut this weekend. 🗣️'The first time that happened, practicing at the shop, I just completely froze and thought I was gonna hit someone.'
Van Gisbergen is now faced with the manual speed limiting used in NASCAR, something he admits has been tricky to get a handle on as he looks for a solution that isn't too conservative, but remains manageable for a newcomer.
"They have a few different types of pages if the speed changes. During the race, I saw at Nashville, they do a warm up lap where you go through the pits and they tell you, every segment, what speed you were doing. And then the team has the ability to tell you to change to what dash you want to adjust your lights.
"Like, it was so hard to hold a speed and then when you let off the throttle to adjust, you'd get a bit of whiplash in the drivetrain and the revs would go everywhere. It's so difficult.
