Laura’s prior work experience at VIR and her enduring love for racing make the track even more significant to them.
In addition to being a home track for Silver Hare Racing, VIR is also a special place for driver Connor Zilisch, who achieved his first TA2 win at Sebring International Raceway earlier in the season. Zilisch had a memorable debut with Silver Hare at VIR in 2021, where he not only secured the pole but also made history by winning both a TA and TA2 race in a single weekend. VIR holds a special place in Zilisch’s heart, being one of his favorite tracks in the country.
Zilisch’s success at VIR symbolizes his growth in motorsports beyond the Trans Am Series, including a notable win in the Rolex 24 At Daytona earlier this year. His return to VIR with Silver Hare Racing is highly anticipated, showcasing his talent and passion for racing at a track where he has achieved significant milestones in his career.
