Red Bull’s latest motorsport protege Connor Zilisch has had a rough few days – though a first outing in a Hypercar looks only to have been delayed, rather than outright denied
Red Bull’s rising motorsport star Connor Zilisch faced setbacks recently, losing the NASCAR Xfinity Series title and being denied a World Endurance Championship rookie test in a Cadillac V-Series.R. Despite missing these opportunities, Zilisch is poised for a full season in the NASCAR Cup Series and a likely shot at Daytona 24 Hours. Questions arise about why a driver of his caliber was turned away and why his potential in the Cadillac V-Series.R test was only postponed, not canceled. The Xfinity Series rule that led to Zilisch missing the championship, despite dominating the season, was especially bitter. Additionally, the regulations surrounding the WEC test eligibility shed light on the licensing requirements that prevented Zilisch from participating. Despite these disappointments, Zilisch remains determined and focused on his upcoming opportunities in the motorsport world.
