Shane van Gisbergen captures the pole for inaugural NASCAR race at Naval Base Coronado‎

Even when he’s less than his best on the twistiest tracks in NASCAR, Shane van Gisbergen still is better on one lap than the rest of the Cup Series drivers. The Trackhouse Racing driver qualified first Saturday for the inaugural race on Naval Base Coronado near San Diego, turning a 2-minute, 14.788-second lap around the 16-turn, 3.4-mile street course that easily put him ahead of Carson Hocevar. “I left a lot of time on the table,” said van Gisbergen, who scraped the wall with his No. 97 Chevrolet.
