This year, he moved up to the Cup with Trackhouse in the No. 88 Chevrolet and became the foreign-born driver with the most wins in NASCAR history.\n\nIn Sunday&#8217;s race at Watkins Glen International, van Gisbergen will look to join Chase Elliott and Jeff Gordon as the only drivers with four consecutive wins on road or street circuits.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We are witnessing one of the superstars of racing. What we ask him to do carries a high degree of difficulty. He has moved to the other side of the world, learned a new way of racing, and sometimes dominated the competition.
