No. 16 WeatherTech Camaro ZL1
Shane Van Gisbergen qualified 36th for the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
By lap 35 SVG worked his way to 32nd and hit pit road for a scheduled green-flag pit stop on lap 51. Following the stop, Van Gisbergen cycled back to 37th, one lap down. The WeatherTech team took the wave around and gained their lap back under the lap-88 caution and ultimately finished stage one in 31st on lap 100.
Van Gisbergen started the second stage in 28th on lap 111. Splitting the stage in half, Van Gisbergen hit pit road for a scheduled green-flag pit stop on lap 139 while running in 28th. The caution flag waved once again on lap 159 with SVG in 26th. Under the caution the 16 team hit pit road for four tires, fuel and adjustments. Following the stop, SVG was served with a pit-road penalty for running through too many boxes and restarted 34th. Van Gisbergen would go on to finish stage two in 28th.
With a fresh set of Goodyear Tires on the WeatherTech Chevrolet, Van Gisbergen restarted stage three in 36th. Battling a tight Chevrolet, he worked his way up to 27th when the caution flag waved once again on lap 230. Following another four-tire stop, Van Gisbergen restarted the race on lap 236. The field would race the incoming weather and Van Gisbergen ended up in 28th when the caution flag waved once again for weather forcing the conclusion of the race.
“We had an up and down day. I hate we didn’t get to run the full 900 miles this weekend, but ultimately the weather won out. I appreciate all the hard work from everyone on this Kaulig/Trackhouse team.”
