Kiwi Shane van Gisbergen is the new leader of the BP Supercars All Stars Eseries after a clean sweep of tonight's three races on virtual NASCAR circuits in the USA.

The 2016 Supercars Champion steered his Red Bull Holden Commodore to victory in all three races last evening, the first held at Charlotte's oval circuit and the final two at the famous Daytona Speedway.

The results from tonight mean van Gisbergen is the new points leader, opening up a 64 point leader over former leader, Shell Ford's Scott McLaughlin.

There were plenty of thrills and spills in all three races of the night, the opening race at Charlotte featured crashes galore in Supercars first ever race on a NASCAR Oval circuit.

Even McLaren F1 star Lando Norris struggled, following his win last week Norris could only manage a 14th, 18th and last place finish this evening from his home in the UK.
