The winner of the last two races of the season – both on road courses – got wide at Turn 2 on his 22nd lap and would slide into the wall (Watch below).
He reported on the radio, “Sorry, it’s quite damaged,” as he crawled along the apron of the 0.875mi oval after the contact.
The Kaulig crew was spotted unloading a plain white Camaro from a transporter shortly after the incident, suggesting van Gisbergen will be reverting to a back-up car.
