Silver Hare Racing: Jake Drew, Boris Said Jr., Connor Zilisch Pack 1-2-3 Punch at VIR
HIGH POINT, N.C. (Oct. 2, 2024) – There’s no place like home, as the saying goes, and when it comes to Cube 3 Architecture TA2 Series racing at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) in Alton, no one embraces that sentiment better than Silver Hare Racing.
The High Point, North Carolina-based team heads to the picturesque 3.27-mile, 17-turn road course ready to defend its dominating 2023 VIR SpeedTour victory with a three-car entry featuring 2024 fulltime drivers Jake Drew and Boris Said Jr. They’ll be joined for the first time since February by a familiar face, Connor Zilisch, who qualified on the pole and led every race lap on his way to winning this event a year ago this weekend, then repeated that feat for Silver Hare in this year’s season opener at Sebring (Fla.) International Raceway before embarking on a head-turning mixed bag of NASCAR Xfinity Series, NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, ARCA Menards Series and IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Challenge races.
