It was the first Cup win for van Gisbergen since the New Zealand native won in his series debut — the inaugural 2023 street race in Chicago.

SVG ended the day 16.5 seconds clear of his closest competition in the biggest margin of victory seen in any Cup race since 2009, and any road course race since 1979.

The veteran has two career starts at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez and secured podiums in each.
