Shane van Gisbergen and Scott McLaughlin, both three-time Supercars champions from New Zealand, will be teammates for the first time in the 2023 Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona. The pair, who have often battled each other in Australia, will drive a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R for Trackhouse Racing and TF Sport in the GTD Pro class.
Shane van Gisbergen and Scott McLaughlin have a lot in common: New Zealanders who parlayed multiple Supercars championships in Australia into U.S racing careers — SVG in NASCAR , and McLaughlin in IndyCar. But this weekend, their careers paths briefly overlap, as the duo become teammates in this year's Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona with Trackhouse Racing. This weekend sees the duo — along with NASCAR driver Connor Zilisch and sports car driver Ben Keating — pushing No.
'It's amazing story, what he's done with the Supercar championships and now running so well in IndyCar,' said Van Gisbergen. 'He just kept saying 'I gotta come over here, gotta come and have a crack.' I'm definitely glad I did. It's been an awesome career change for me.' While McLaughlin's IndyCar adventure was carefully planned, SVG's foray into NASCAR has been sudden and spectacular.
