It’s a highly-anticipated trip to upstate New York for 19-year-old JR Motorsports rookie Connor Zilisch. He returns to Watkins Glen International as the defending winner of Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series Mission 200 at The Glen (3 p.m. ET on The CW, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) – claiming the very first NASCAR victory of his career in his first ever NASCAR national series start there last summer.

NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Races At The Glen For Third Time In Last 25 Years
For the first time in five years and only third time since 2000, the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series will compete at Watkins Glen International with the Mission 176 at The Glen Friday afternoon (5 p.m. ET, FS1, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) to start NASCAR’s tripleheader weekend.
Current NASCAR Xfinity Series championship contender Austin Hill won the last truck race at the iconic New York road course in 2021 fending off now-NASCAR Cup Series driver John Hunter Nemechek and Hill’s fellow Xfinity Series regular Sheldon Creed for the trophy. You have to go all the way back to 2000 for the previous truck race at The Glen, won from pole position by Greg Biffle.
