The announcement of Connor Zilisch racing full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for JR Motorsports in 2025 marks a significant milestone in the 18-year-old’s fast-rising pro racing career. Zilisch first showcased his talent in the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli, making a notable debut at VIRginia International Raceway in 2021, where he secured the pole position in the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series in his maiden start. Building on this success, he competed in TA2 full-time in both 2022 and 2023, culminating in his first victory at Road Atlanta in 2023 and adding four more wins that same season. In addition to his Trans Am accomplishments, Zilisch has demonstrated his versatility by also achieving victories in various motorsport disciplines, including LMP2 wins at prestigious endurance races like the Rolex 24 at Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring. Furthermore, his success extends to the ARCA Menards Series, ARCA East, NASCAR Truck Series, and CARS Late Model Stock Tour, showcasing his potential across multiple racing categories. With a development contract with Trackhouse Racing and Chevrolet, Zilisch’s upcoming NASCAR Xfinity Series debut at Watkins Glen International later this year sets the stage for an exciting chapter in his racing journey.
