NASCAR at Watkins Glen results: van Gisbergen wins fourth race of 2025

Shane van Gisbergen continues to prove he’s on a whole other level when it comes to road-course racing in the NASCAR Cup Series.

The Trackhouse Racing driver won the Go Bowling at The Glen on Sunday, Aug. 10 at Watkins Glen International for his fourth victory of the season, tying Denny Hamlin for most wins this season. According to the TV broadcast on USA Network, he also became the first rookie to win four Cup races in a single season.

Van Gisbergen previously won the road-course races at Mexico City and Sonoma, as well as the street-course race in Chicago. The only non-oval race that saw a winner of than van Gisbergen was the first road race of the season at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas on March 2, 2025. He finished sixth behind Christopher Bell.

With his fourth consecutive road-course win, van Gisbergen tied Chase Elliott for second most all time. Elliott won four in a row between 2019 and 2020. Jeff Gordon holds the record with six consecutive victories on road courses.

Bell finished second Sunday at Wakins Glen, 2024 winner Chris Buescher took third, points leader William Byron came home fourth, and Chase Briscoe took fifth.

Van Gisbergen will enter the playoffs as one of the top seeds when the postseason begins Aug. 31 at Darlington Raceway. The 10-race playoffs will feature one more non-oval race on Oct. 5 in the Bank of America ROVAL 400 on the road course/oval hybrid at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
