Overview

• Connor Zilisch, backed by Trackhouse Racing, will debut in the NASCAR Cup Series at Circuit of The Americas (COTA) on March 2, 2025.
• Zilisch is targeting Joey Logano's record as the youngest-ever Cup Series race winner, a title Logano secured at 19 years, 1 month, and 4 days old in 2009.
• At 18 years, 7 months, and 8 days old, Zilisch sees a narrow window to achieve this milestone before his 19th birthday in July 2025.
• The newly introduced shorter 'National Layout' at COTA may benefit Zilisch's style, potentially increasing his competitiveness on the road course track.
• Despite his ambition, Zilisch acknowledges the steep learning curve of Cup racing and has sought advice from experienced drivers, including Justin Allgaier and Shane van Gisbergen, to prepare for the challenge.
