Shane van Gisbergen and Connor Zilisch are teammates at Trackhouse and at Chicago, they were also teammates at JR Motorsports. They ran inverse paint schemes, both representing Red Bull and WeatherTech.

And while Zilisch had to drive through the field after a practice wreck, SVG had to do something similar after some mid-race strategy went awry. With some help from a late-race yellow, the race became a head-to-head battle between the teammates.

Zilisch had never raced SVG for the win before (although, they were co-drivers in the Rolex 24 at Daytona) and was caught off guard by the aggression he experienced as the hands of SVG as they raced down into Turn 1. Van Gisbergen threw it up the inside, using all the track to muscle his way into the race lead.

“I didn’t have a chance”

“I understand he’s racing for the win, but yeah, I didn’t even have a chance there,” Zilisch told SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. “He just stuffed me in the wall. Definitely frustrating, but still really cool to get Red Bull and WeatherTech a 1-2. My team worked so hard (after practice wreck). The entire JR Motorsports team came in to help, and yeah, we had a shot at it there and that’s all you can ask for. I’ll definitely remember the way he raced me. I didn’t expect him to do that. But I get it, we’re racing for the win.”

Learning from it

In the post-race press conference, Zilisch expanded on that, both disappointed in himself for not preparing for the move and surprised by how aggressive van Gisbergen was.

“It wasn’t dirty,” said Zilisch. “We’re racing for the win on the last restart. I just didn’t expect it — kind of just caught me by surprise. I wouldn’t consider it dirty at all. I could have just done a better job at keeping leverage but I let him get a nose ahead of me and at that point, it’s his corner and he can do what he wants to. I didn’t expect it, so I wish I could have it back.”

He later added: “By no means does he have to leave me room. I expected it, but I won’t expect it next time. I’m not mad about it, but like I said, I wish I had it back … I would have done it differently.”

What would Zilisch have done, exactly? He explained that he would have slammed the door on him in the brief moment where he got clear on the frontstretch, sweeping low and preventing a dive up the inside.

It also seems like Zilisch had some preconceived notions about the way SVG would race him, considering his background, but anyone who has watched Supercars knows better — just look at some of the tense battles between himself and his former Triple Eight teammate Jamie Whincup.

“I see Shane as a driver who came from New Zealand and over there, we were raised the same — when you hit someone, you get a penalty,” said Zilisch. “I expected that but by no means is that the rule here so I have nothing to complain about. I can’t be upset about it. It’s part of racing. Next time I’ll learn and will be more aggressive.”

And next time could be very soon as SVG will be back in the No. 9 JR Motorsports car for the NASCAR Xfinity race at Sonoma next weekend. It will be interesting to see how Zilisch adjusts his style should the two teammates face-off once again.

Shane van Gisbergen goes elbows out to win Chicago NASCAR Xfinity race

Silverstone, England – Lando Norris survived an incident-packed race in the rain to win Formula 1’s British Grand Prix on Sunday and cut the gap to his teammate and title rival Oscar Piastri.

During NASCAR Cup Series qualifying on the streets of Chicago, Corey Heim failed to qualify for the race in the No. 67 car. The fourth 23XI Racing entry is the only DNQ in this race. Katherine Legge knocked him out with her time in qualifying.

Corey Heim drives full-time for Tricon Garage in the Craftsman Truck Series. No truck race this weekend, but 23XI wanted to put him in the 67 for this race. He could be moving up to the Cup Series sooner rather than later with how dominant he is in the Truck Series.

After his DNQ, Heim took to social media to explain the situation. The young driver took the blame for not having the speed to make the race.

“Made a mistake on my first lap and bent the toe link. Tried to get everything I could out of it after that but clearly wasn’t enough,” Heim posted. “That’s completely my fault and still trying to process all of it. Thank you [23XI Racing] for a car plenty capable enough to make the race.”

These Next Gen cars are tough. They can take pretty big hits and keep moving. But those toe links are not so tough. When you damage one, it throws off everything. Corey Heim bent his and from that point, the speed he needed wasn’t there.

23XI Racing had mixed results. Tyler Reddick was P4 in qualifying. Bubba Wallace was quickest in practice, but wrecked in qualifying for P37. Riley Herbst found a happy middle in P21.

Corey Heim is still getting the hang of the Cup car. He has never raced at this track, either. I’m sure he has had a lot of simulator time on the Chicago Street Race course. But things didn’t work out in his favor today.

Corey Heim fails to qualify for Chicago Street Race

After his absolutely dominant win in the Lime Rock Park Truck Series race, I thought Corey Heim was likely to make the Chicago Street Race field. A bent toe link is just something you can’t really overcome on any track.

23XI definitely wishes Heim was in this race. They see him as a future Cup Series driver and a potential star. A lot of people have their eyes on Heim as a future driver on Sunday. If 23XI doesn’t pick him up soon, maybe someone else does?

For Katherine Legge, this is a great result. To qualify that Live Fast No. 78 car into this race is nothing short of impressive. What is Corey Heim’s misfortune is her opportunity. She made the most of it, too.

Lando Norris becomes 13th British driver to win home Grand Prix while Germany’s Nico Hulkenberg makes his first podium after a record 239 races.

Lando Norris won his home British Grand Prix for the first time in a McLaren one-two with Formula One leader Oscar Piastri on a wet and chaotic race day littered with safety cars, crashes and incident.

“This is a dream, winning at home. It’s beautiful,” Norris told the team over the radio. “Thanks for the memory. I’ll remember this more than anything.”

Nico Hulkenberg took an astonishing third place for Sauber, the German veteran making up 16 places to shed his unwanted record of the most starts without a podium in Formula One history – Sunday being his first in 239 starts in an F1 career that began in 2010.

“I don’t think I can comprehend what we’ve just done,” said the stunned German before wild pitlane celebrations with his teammates.

“It feels good. It’s been a long time coming, hasn’t it? But I always knew we had it in us, I have it in me, somewhere.”

Piastri was handed a 10-second penalty for a safety car infringement that ultimately cost him the win and allowed Norris to slash the Australian’s advantage to eight points at the midpoint of the season.

Piastri was unhappy with his penalty, signalling he believed it was a legal move.

Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton finished fourth with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen fifth after starting on pole position.

Pierre Gasly was sixth for Alpine, Lance Stroll seventh for Aston Martin and Alex Albon eighth for Williams.

Fernando Alonso gave Aston Martin a double points finish in ninth at their home race and George Russell bagged the final point for Mercedes.

Hulkenberg’s podium for Sauber was the first for the Swiss-based team since 2012.

Norris’s victory at Silverstone was his eighth career GP win.

The Belgian Grand Prix is the next race on the F1 calendar on July 27.
