Shane van Gisbergen picked up his first win of the NASCAR Cup Series season as the master of road-course racing drove to Victory Lane in Mexico City.

It was almost a disastrous Sunday for the New Zealand native. As he outpaced Christopher Bell by 16.567 seconds, he opened up about the “queasy” feeling that plagued him all day.

“I tried to treat it like when I go to Asia, just drink bottled water and be careful in the shower and brush your teeth with bottled water, but I just went downhill,” he said. “Couldn’t keep anything in. Everything just went straight through me. I felt really queasy, and my mind was there, but my body just had so much pressure in my stomach. Crazy weekend and everyone dug deep.”

It appeared to be a tough week overall, which started with a mechanical issue on his team’s charter flight that paused his initial trip to Mexico. He slept on the floor of his hauler before the race, unsure if he would be able to compete at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.

Regardless of the illness, van Gisbergen still managed to lead 60 of the 100 laps. The win gives him hope that he could earn a berth into the NASCAR Playoffs.

“It means everything to us, this is why I’m here,” van Gisbergen said. “I am getting better and more competitive. We’re really making a lot of progress.”

The next race on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule is Pocono.

Van Gisbergen will enter the race 30th in the standings, but the victory in Mexico City will go a long way as long as 17 different drivers don’t win races from here on out.

Michael Francis Cain, age 78, of Farragut, Tennessee, passed away peacefully on June 11, 2025. He was a beloved husband, father, son, brother, grandfather, and great-grandfather, whose passion, warmth, and dedication left an indelible mark on all who knew him.

Born on November 3, 1946, in Detroit, Michigan, Michael grew up in Dearborn, Michigan, where he developed a love for sports, playing hockey, baseball, and high school football. He graduated from Fordson High School in 1964 and went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in automotive technology from Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan. It was in his high school homeroom where he met the love of his life, Martha, whom he married 61 years ago and shared a remarkable 65 years of companionship.

Michael and Martha raised two children, Karen and Alex, instilling in them values of compassion, integrity, and resilience. The family cherished summer vacations, traveling to beaches and historical sites across the country. Michael especially treasured time spent with his extensive family of aunts, uncles, cousins, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Michael dedicated 32 years to the Pontiac Division of General Motors, serving in roles such as District Manager, Regional Fleet Manager, Dealer Development Manager, and Director of Motorsports. Michael and Martha were able to travel to many exciting locations around the world, compliments of General Motors. His love for motorsports was unparalleled, particularly his devotion to IndyCar and NASCAR. A lifelong racing enthusiast, Michael attended 68 Indianapolis 500 races starting in 1952, a passion he passed on to his son, Alex, with whom he shared 48 of those races. During his career, he forged friendships with racing legends Richard and Kyle Petty, Rusty Wallace, and Roger Penske. Michael was a long-time supporter of the Farragut Admirals football program.

Michael is survived by his beloved wife Martha, their children Karen Harmon (Jeff) and Alex Cain; grandchildren Cherylann, Isabella, April and Anthony (Ashley); great-grandchildren Oliver, Winston, Theodore, Felyx and Zoey; great-uncles Phillip Shashko and Ray “Teet” Stinnett; and many cousins. He was predeceased by his parents, Floyd and Eva Chaushoff Cain, his brother Thomas Cain, and many cherished aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Receiving of Family and Friends will be held at First Baptist Concord in Farragut on June 18, 2025, at 5:00pm with a service to follow at 7:00pm. Burial service will be at Benton Memorial Gardens in Benton TN on Friday June 20th at 12:00pm. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to your local animal shelter or to Alzheimer’s-Dementia research program. A future celebration of life will be held in his hometown of Dearborn, Michigan, date still to be determined.

Michael’s legacy of love, enthusiasm for life, and devotion to family and friends will forever live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and community. clickfuneralhome.com

Shane van Gisbergen wins NASCAR Cup race at Mexico City

A mechanical issue on takeoff forced his team charter to abort the initial journey to Mexico City. He arrived at the venue Friday, […]

MEXICO CITY — Very little went right for Shane van Gisbergen in the buildup to NASCAR’s first international Cup Series points-paying race of the modern era.

A mechanical issue on takeoff forced his team charter to abort the initial journey to Mexico City. He arrived at the venue Friday, a day late, and after winning the pole Saturday, the New Zealander fell seriously ill.

He slept on the floor of his hauler before Sunday’s race, unsure he’d be able to physically complete the 100-lap event at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.

But there’s something special about the Kiwi and new venues, especially in the rain, and he salvaged the weekend by winning on the road course to earn an automatic berth into NASCAR’s playoffs.

Van Gisbergen led 60 of 100 laps and beat Christopher Bell by 16.567 seconds.

“I tried to treat it like when I go to Asia, just drink bottled water and be careful in the shower and brush your teeth with bottled water, but I just went downhill,” van Gisbergen said. “Couldn’t keep anything in. Everything just went straight through me. I felt really queasy and my mind was there, but my body just had so much pressure in my stomach. Crazy weekend and everyone dug deep.”

It was the second Cup Series victory of his career. He won in his NASCAR debut at the inaugural 2023 street course race in Chicago — a victory that changed his career trajectory. Van Gisbergen left Australia V8 Supercars, where he was a multiple champion, for a full-time move to NASCAR.

Although he had success in the Xfinity Series — he won three races last year as Trackhouse Racing developed him for a Cup Series ride — van Gisbergen has struggled this year at NASCAR’s top level.

He started the race ranked 33rd in the Cup standings with only one top-10 finish through the first 15 races of the season. But his victory in Mexico City revived his season and gives him a shot to race for the Cup Series championship.

“It means everything to us, this is why I’m here,” van Gisbergen said. “I am getting better and more competitive. We’re really making a lot of progress.”

Van Gisbergen celebrated in his traditional rugby-style way — he drop-kicked a signed football into the grandstands and then said he had recovered enough to enjoy “some Red Bulls mixed with adult beverages” later Sunday.

Van Gisbergen benefitted from an early pop-up rain shower on the first lap of the race because he’s an exceptionally skilled driver on a wet surface. His win at Chicago was in monsoon-like conditions.

Trackhouse now has two of its drivers — Ross Chastain and Van Gisbergen — locked into the playoffs. But it was a bit of a disappointment for Daniel Suarez, the Monterrey native who thrilled the hometown crowd with a win in the Xfinity Series race Saturday, as he failed to challenge his teammate for the win and finished 19th.

“I wish I was in the mix fighting for it a little more, but it just wasn’t in the cards,” Suarez said. “Every single thing about this weekend exceeded my expectations, the people, the fans, the sponsors, the excitement, the energy.

“I had expectations for this weekend, not the results but, like, the event, and I can tell you that I personally exceeded those expectations,” he added. “So very, very happy for that. Very blessed. I hope that we can do it many more times.”

Suarez, who appeared to be blinking back tears as he sang along with the Mexican national anthem in pre-race ceremonies, desperately wanted the home win in this contract year with Trackhouse. He was the face of this event as NASCAR ventured outside the U.S. with its top series for the first time since 1958.

Bell finished second in a Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing. He was followed by Chase Elliott in a Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet. Alex Bowman, who hurt his back in a crash last week at Michigan, withstood the pain for a fourth-place finish in his Hendrick Chevrolet.

Michael McDowell of Spire Motorsports was fifth and followed by John Hunter Nemechek in a Toyota for Legacy Motor Club. Chase Briscoe of JGR was seventh and followed by Cole Custer for Haas Factory as the highest-finishing Ford driver. William Byron of Hendrick was ninth and Chris Buescher of RFK Racing rounded out the top 10.

Chevrolets took five of the top 10 positions, including the victory.

Stenhouse vs. Hocevar

The ongoing feud between Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Carson Hocevar continued after the race as a furious Stenhouse reached inside Hocevar’s cockpit on pit road.

He seemed to grab at Hocevar as he spoke to him, then slapped at his helmet as Stenhouse walked away. It wasn’t clear what Stenhouse was upset about, but he’s been furious with Hocevar for three consecutive weeks, dating to contact between the two at Nashville.

Hocevar’s in-car camera captured the audio of the confrontation.

“I’m going to beat your (butt),” Stenhouse threatened. “You’re a lap down, you’ve got nothing to do. Why you run right into me? It’s the second time. I’m going to beat your (butt) when we get back to the States.”

Hocevar said after the race he couldn’t really hear Stenhouse.

“I know he was very mad and I was very apologetic,” Hocevar said. “I got in the marbles and slid a lot longer than I expected to. Number one, not somebody I would ever want to hit again. But number two, I was basically just logging laps. I tried to turn left and avoid him. Just a really sloppy day for me.”

Gordon gives command

NASCAR Hall of Famer Jeff Gordon was selected to give the command for drivers to start their engines and admitted before the race he’d done some practicing.

Why? Because he incorporated both English and Spanish in his delivery of the most famous words in racing.

“Hola Mexico!” Gordon shouted. “Pilotos start your engines!

Up Next

NASCAR races next Sunday at Pocono Raceway, where Ryan Blaney won last year.
