FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Connor Zilisch, the
18-year-old driver already with two NASCAR Xfinity Series race
wins, will miss Saturday's race at Texas because of lower back
injuries sustained in a last-lap wreck at Talladega.
Trackhouse Racing said Wednesday that its development driver
will return as soon as possible to the No. 88 JR Motorsports
Chevrolet. The team didn't provide any additional details about
Zilisch's injuries.
Cup Series regular Kyle Larson will drive the No. 88 in Texas.
After that, the Xfinity Series has a two-week break before
racing again May 24 at Charlotte.
Zilisch, sixth in points through the first 11 races, was driving
for the win at Talladega Superspeedway when contact on the
backstretch sent his car spinning, and head-on into inside wall.
Zilisch won in his Xfinity debut at Watkins Glen last Sept. 14.
He added another win this year at Austin, the same weekend that
he made his Cup Series debut. He has six top-10 finishes in his
15 Xfinity races.
