CROWN: GANADOR Heats the 2025 Target as Best SVG Winner of NASCAR Cup Series Race in Mexico City NASCAR Reveals…
In a historic and high-octane showdown south of the border, Shane van Gisbergen (SVG) emerged victorious at the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series race in Mexico City, claiming both the checkered flag and a commanding presence as the standout contender for the season’s championship chase. The race, hosted at the legendary Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, marked NASCAR’s continued international expansion — and no one embraced the moment more fiercely than SVG.
Nicknamed “CROWN: GANADOR” (Spanish for “crown winner”), SVG not only captured his second Cup Series win of the season but solidified his global appeal by winning in front of a passionate Latin American crowd. With this triumph, he’s now firmly on track to surpass 2025’s performance targets and is a clear favorite for NASCAR’s international driver of the year.
SVG started in the top five and quickly climbed the leaderboard with surgical precision. His road-course expertise, honed from years in Supercars and international endurance racing, was on full display as he maneuvered the tight chicanes and long straights of the Mexico City track with unmatched skill. When the final caution flag waved with six laps to go, it was van Gisbergen’s flawless restart and aggressive final push that sealed his victory.
“This win means the world — not just for me, but for all the fans here in Mexico and back home in New Zealand,” said SVG post-race. “To be called ‘GANADOR’ in a city with so much racing history is something I’ll never forget.”
NASCAR’s Mexico event proved a critical test for its global ambitions, and with a thrilling finish led by an international driver, the outcome was exactly what organizers had hoped. SVG’s rise continues to blur the lines between traditional American oval dominance and the global motorsport talent reshaping the sport.
As NASCAR barrels toward its summer stretch, Shane van Gisbergen stands tall — not just as a race winner, but as a symbol of NASCAR’s evolving identity. With fans chanting “¡GANADOR!” and waving both Mexican and Kiwi flags, the message is clear: SVG isn’t just heating up — he’s setting the 2025 target ablaze.
