NASCAR Cup Series
Dorman Joins Spire Motorsports, Justin Haley at Pocono Raceway
Jun 12, 2025
Shane van Gisbergen claimed his second career NASCAR Cup Series victory, winning the Viva Mexico 250 at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.
Van Gisbergen dominated the inaugural NASCAR Cup Series event in Mexico City in his Trackhouse Racing No. 88, crossing the finish line 16.5 seconds ahead of runner-up Christopher Bell. The New Zealand native led 60 of the race's 100 laps, including the last 32 laps of the event.
Bell finished second, followed by the Hendrick Motorsports duo of Chase Elliott and Alex Bowman. Michael McDowell rounded out the top five in the No. 71 for Spire Motorsports.
The victory punches van Gisbergen's ticket into the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs during his first full-time season with the series. He previously won the inaugural Grant Park 165 on the Chicago Street Circuit in 2023.
The next stop for the NASCAR Cup Series is Pocono Raceway for The Great American Getaway 400 Presented by VISITPA.COM. The race on Sunday, June 22 takes the green flag at 2 p.m. ET, with coverage on Prime Video, the Motor Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
