NASCAR Cup Series rookie Shane van Gisbergen picked up his fourth win of the 2025 season on Sunday at Watkins Glen.

All four wins have come on road courses, and with the final race of the first round of the playoffs being a road-course race, at the Charlotte ROVAL, yeah, the rest of the playoff field has itself a Shane van Gisbergen problem on its hands.

The question: how far can van Gisbergen go with success on the road?

Rod Mullins joins us to discuss.
