Trackhouse Racing signee Connor Zilisch will run four NASCAR Xfinity Series with JR Motorsports later this year.
The rising star joined Trackhouse as a development driver in January. Soon after, he won the Rolex 24 at Daytona on debut in the LMP2 class. A winner of several national karting titles, he was also the MX-5 Cup championship runner-up in 2022, while also claiming Rookie of the Year honors. The following year, he won four races in ten starts. Zilisch made his ARCA Menards Series debut in 2023, competing at Watkins Glen International. He finished second after leading 34 of 42 laps.
“We couldn’t be happier to welcome Connor into the JR Motorsports family and to give him an opportunity behind the wheel of our No. 88 Chevrolet,” said JRM CEO Kelley Earnhardt Miller. “Connor is an extremely talented young man and we can’t wait to see what he can do when he gets to the track with us at Watkins Glen.” Added Zilisch: “It’s a dream come true to have the opportunity to race in the Xfinity Series with JR Motorsports for select races this year.
