WATCH: Runaway Kiwi – Shane Van Gisbergen’s journey from New Zealand to NASCAR

From the roads of Manukau, New Zealand, to the high banks of NASCAR, “Runaway Kiwi” charts Shane van Gisbergen’s rise to the top of international motorsport.

Grounded in family and shaped by his upbringing, van Gisbergen’s journey is defined by meticulous preparation, an unwavering commitment to his team, and a pure love of racing.

In his rookie NASCAR season, he stunned the sport with five straight wins on road courses, but the road to that moment was years in the making.

More than a racing documentary, “Runaway Kiwi” digs into the foundations of elite performance, exploring the people who shaped van Gisbergen, the standards he sets for himself, and the teamwork required not just to compete, but to win at the highest level.

    As an avid SVG supporter for many many years it’s good to hear him talk about his journey, something he doesn’t do very often. SVG has such a gr8 following that he has brought tens of thousands of viewers to Nascar. The demand was so great that a NZ tv network that didn’t previously show Nascar took up the challenge, kudos to ThreeNow.
    I enjoyed watching the video,well done.
    SVGs future looks rosy so garb it with both hands & run.
