PORTLAND, OR – A dramatic overtime pass for the win punctuated a nearly perfect afternoon for JR Motorsports driver Connor Zilisch at Portland (Ore.) International Raceway, where the 19-year old claimed his series-best eighth NASCAR Xfinity Series win of the season – the best series victory total ever for a rookie driver.
Only weeks removed from breaking his collarbone celebrating another win – at the Watkins Glen, N.Y. road course – Zilisch claimed pole position, won both stages, set fastest lap and celebrated it all in Victory Circle of the famed 1.967-mile road course in the scenic Pacific Northwest.







There’s an unmistakable frontrunner as the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Playoffs open with Saturday’s Sober or Slammer 200 at Darlington Raceway (12 noon ET on FS1, NRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
