In this clip from PRN's Fast Talk, our panel recaps SVG's win at Portland, how he's winning fans over quickly and just how far he could go in his rookie campaign. Is there a serious chance SVG makes a run at the championship four, or is his limited experience on ovals too much to overcome with veterans like Justin Allgaier in his way? #NASCAR

When SVG was talking about the Australian supercars being made of glass he was refering to the new Gen 3 cars. The older cars were much more durable.
-
SVG been embraced so well by the American public as well, glad he left for bigger things. I'm starting to love the US Ovals as well.
-
SVG has said he’s just been learning the ovals and trying to keep the car clean so far. Once we go back to ovals for a second time and now he’s locked into the playoffs I think you’ll see him start to push for better results.
-
When Australian Marcos Ambrose went to the USA and did 7 seasons racing in NASCAR, he was brilliant on road courses but never won an oval race, however he did have a lot of top 5 results. As an Australian supporter I hope SVG does achieve an oval win.

SVG and NASCAR is a match made in heaven for motor racing
-
He would’ve won Cota if Hill didn’t punt him for no reason.
-
this very modest driver is liked by those who sence here is an gifted young driver of 34 years bringing clean honest aspects a gratitude and life seldom seen today.
-
SVG has been hurt, like all rookies, by the short or non existent practices. When we start going back to tracks the second time,...............

Maybe Allmindinger is just plain intimidated by a flying Kiwi !!
-
Underestimate svg at your peril Go the flying kiwi!
-
I wish SVG had his Triple Eight crew with him. Is it just me or is his car slower in the straights and keeps losing positions in the pits.
-
SVG is a full contact racer, that's why the Gen3 Supercars didn't suit him, they're too fragile. I knew when he announced he was going to Nascar he'd do well, he's made for that style of racing.
-
SVG just wants to race 😊
-
SVG = excitement. Fastest driver getting through the turns.

Shane van SKIDSBERGEN o7 🇳🇿 🔑🟤

Yes he is!

I’m Australian and know SVG will be a threat in any street or road course he competes. I think he’ll win at Sonoma this coming week. In cup Cam Waters and Will Brown may contend so don’t be surprised. As to your worries about AJ I don’t understand he came 4th in a repaired or back up car. I feel sympathy for him being upset about his own performance. I’ve been imagining how interesting if Supercars 888 prepared a wildcard entry for Bathurst for SVG and AJ to share. A crossover would be great to see for both NASCAR and Supercars fans alike. Obviously the dates of each would have to enable it.

Michael Mcdowell the Best road racer in NASCAR
-
the last thing he wanted was a caution, his restarts were shite

The Cup car is much closer in handling to the Supercar. I think SVG is struggling in the xfinity a bit. As others have said, he is in a learning phase. Probably 15 years behind his competitors in that regard. Every race, he starts slow, info on the track gets absorbed into his racing brain and he gets faster in the second half. When he goes back to tracks for the second time in his life, you will see a definite improvement. This year is his apprenticeship... look out Cup series next year.
