Zilisch Set for COTA Cup Debut; Sights on Youngest Cup Winner Record

by Toby Christie, SI RacingAmerica

At just 18 years old, Connor Zilisch is set to make his NASCAR Cup Series debut this weekend in the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas. Trackhouse Racing’s young phenom racer, who won in his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut a season ago, says he feels more confident in driving the NASCAR Cup Series car than he did the Xfinity car.

“Honestly, I feel like the cup car is more like what I’m used to,” Zilisch said in a Tuesday media availability. “You know, racing, sports cars, I’ve run a sequential gearbox in a TA car, and MX5 Cup car. You know, I think the build of the car is a lot more like I’m used to. It’s a stiffer platform, it’s an independent rear suspension. Everything is more like [what] I’m used to racing sports cars.” (more…)
