19-year-old Connor Zilisch is getting a full-time NASCAR Cup Series run with Trackhouse Racing, replacing fan favorite Daniel Suarez.
The young star has quickly risen through the American racing ladder, making good on the potential that he showed early on.
He joined Trackhouse’s development program in January 2024 and got an Xfinity Series drive with Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s JR Motorsports.
Zilisch has won eight of the 27 races that he has started in, his most recent one coming Friday at Daytona International Speedway.
Previously at The Glen, Zilisch had a nasty fall in victory lane, which led to a broken collarbone two weeks ago.
For the race in Daytona, the 19-year-old started the race, but driver Parker Kligerman took over the car to bring it home after Lap 13.
