Could old Supercars rivals Shane van Gisbergen and Scott McLaughlin be reunited in NASCAR? 🤜🤛 That’s what van Gisbergen wants to happen – but only as a one-off ⬇️

Van Gisbergen, who makes his second NASCAR Cup start this weekend on the Indianapolis Road Course for Trackhouse, watched his old sparring partner McLaughlin in Chevrolet’s simulator this week, as his fellow Kiwi prepared for his IndyCar element of the double-header weekend.

“We went for lunch on my last trip [to America] and he was just so encouraging about coming over here giving it a crack. So, yes, it’s awesome to be around him again.”McLaughlin said it was interesting to see the differences between their machinery around the Indianapolis road course in their respective Chevrolet-powered cars.

McLaughlin can't stay to watch van Gisbergen's Cup race at Indy on Sunday, as he's flying to New York to pick up his dog, but says he's happy to show van Gisbergen around the IndyCar paddock.
