For the second time in three years, Shane van Gisbergen conquered the Chicago Street Race.

After winning Saturday's NASCAR Xfinity Series race, van Gisbergen on Sunday earned his second win of 2025 and the third of his Cup Series career.

A caution on the race's final lap allowed van Gisbergen to cruise around and receive the checkered flag under caution flag conditions.

"Yeah, I love this place," van Gisbergen told TNT Sports. "What an amazing weekend for me. I'm a lucky guy to drive some great cars. We just seemed to get it right."

Van Gisbergen led 26 laps, the second-most of the day behind Michael McDowell's 31, after starting from the pole.

Tyler Reddick and Alex Bowman both made hard charges through the field in the closing laps, but Reddick's march was impeded by a battle with Ty Gibbs. Meanwhile, a feud between Bowman and Bubba Wallace impeded Bowman's progress and resulted in Wallace spinning.

Gibbs, Reddick, Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch rounded out the top five, with AJ Allmendinger, Ryan Preece, Bowman, Austin Hill and Ross Chastain completing the top 10.

Other notable finishers include defending Cup Series champion Joey Logano in 11th, Kyle Larson in 13th, Chase Elliott in 16th, Katherine Legge in 19th and Wallace in 28th.

McDowell started second and won Stage 1, but throttle issues relegated him to a disappointing 32nd-place finish.
