Connor Zilisch to make NASCAR Xfinity debut with JRM
In January, the rising star joined Trackhouse as a development driver and quickly made an impact by winning the Rolex 24 at Daytona in the LMP2 class on debut. With a background in karting and MX-5 Cup racing, he has already shown his talent by winning races and accolades like Rookie of the Year. In his ARCA Menards Series debut at Watkins Glen International, he finished second after a strong performance. Soon to turn 18, he will make his NASCAR Xfinity debut with JR Motorsports, driving the No. 88 Chevrolet Camaro in select races starting at Watkins Glen. Both JRM CEO Kelley Earnhardt Miller and the driver, Connor Zilisch, are excited for this opportunity and are eager to see what he can achieve on the track. Sponsorship details of the deal have yet to be disclosed, but Zilisch is grateful for the support from Chevrolet, Silver Hare Racing, and Trackhouse Racing as he embarks on this next phase of his racing career.
