Silver Hare Racing considers VIRginia International Raceway (VIR) as their home track due to its proximity to their race shop in High Point, N.C. The team owners, Maurice and Laura Hull, also own Waukegan Farms near VIR, adding to the connection.

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.
