Van Gisbergen has been creating his own piece of history in the US in 2025, and here is a rare chance to own your own little piece of it.
Up for grabs is SVG’s pole-winning suit from the NASCAR Xfinity Series Pit Boss/FoodMaxx 250 at Sonoma Raceway on Saturday, July 12.
The Charlotte-based Kiwi was driving the #9 QuadLock Chevrolet Camaro for JR Motorsports and went on to finish second in the race. The race, contested over 79 laps, was won by his teammate Connor Zilisch in the #88 Chevrolet Camaro.
Zilisch fended off a hard-charging SVG who nearly passed him after the two drivers made contact on the final lap in Turn 7.
Qualifying was held on Friday, July 11. Since Sonoma Raceway is a road course, the qualifying procedure used is a two-group system with one round. Drivers were separated into two parts, Group A and Group B. Each driver had multiple laps to set a time.
SVG scored the pole with a lap of 1:15.259s, and a speed of 95.191 mph (153.195 km/h) on the permanent road course set in the heart of Californian wine country.
“The pole at Sonoma was a pretty cool day and it’s great that I can share a bit of that with a fan with the auctioning of the suit from that race,” said van Gisbergen.
“More importantly, the money goes to Motorsport Ministries who have done a great job in Australia for years and who care about our sport and its people.
“I appreciate all the amazing support I get from Australia and New Zealand.
“I heard last year’s Legends Night was very successful and I hope everyone has a great time and spends plenty of money for a great cause on Friday night.”
Pirtek Legends Night founder, Brett “Crusher” Murray welcomed SVG’s generosity.
“When we contacted SVG about helping us with the second Pirtek Legends Night auction he did not hesitate,” said Murray.
“He has got plenty going on in the US and is doing a hell of a job, but nothing was an issue – which is the way it has always been with him.
“The suit is getting an enormous amount of interest and really is a one-off piece of memorabilia for one lucky fan.”
The SVG suit will be one of 16 major items up for grabs at the sold out event.
