Trackhouse development driver Connor Zilisch promoted to full-time NASCAR Xfinity Series ride
Connor Zilisch has run three ARCA Menards Series races in 2024 thus far. He went to victory lane in all three races.
He’s also run six ARCA Menards Series East races this season. In four of those starts, he’s parked it in victory lane.
Now, the 18-year-old has been promoted. He’ll drive four Xfinity Series races for JR Motorsports in 2024.
In 2025, Zilsich will drive the No. 88 full-time.
Connor Zilisch comments
“This is an amazing moment for me and all the people who have helped me get to this place in my career,” said Zilisch.
“With so much support from Chevrolet and a chance to race in trucks and ARCA with Silver Hare Racing, I was able to sign with Trackhouse Racing and they went to work to secure an incredible opportunity for me. I am so grateful and can’t wait to show their trust in me is warranted. It is mind-blowing to think that I will drive for JR Motorsports and Dale Earnhardt, Jr., who is one of my heroes.”
He added, “I’m ready to put in the work.”
