It would be difficult to imagine a performance more dominant than the one JR Motorsports driver Connor Zilisch has fashioned over the last nine races.
In that span, Zilisch won four races, including the last three in a row. He also finished second three times and posted an average finish of 2.11 over the nine events.

The good news? A healthy Zilisch will return to action in Saturday’s BetMGM 300 (4:30 p.m. ET on CW, PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

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.
