18-Year-Old Driver  
JR Motorsports
2025 Fantasy Outlook
The 18-year-old talent is making the move to full-time Xfinity Series racing in 2025. Zilisch made some part-time forays into both the trucks and Xfinity last season and had quite a bit of success. In his four Xfinity Series starts he grabbed one win (Watkins Glen) and three Top-5 finishes. Zilisch has won at every level that he's raced and that includes sports cars. He racked up impressive wins at both Daytona (Rolex 24) and Sebring in IMSA. Zilisch is a gifted road racer but he also is getting better by the day on NASCAR ovals. He makes a tantalizing prospect in the JRM No. 88 Chevrolet in the upcoming season just on potential alone. The young driver is a head turner and should have Rookie of the Year honors in the bag.

Zilisch was fastest in Happy Hour practice for The LiUNA NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Friday. He turned a fast lap 178.412 mph.
ANALYSIS
The young driver of the No. 88 Chevrolet was the only driver to top the 178 mph mark in this lone practice session ahead of pole qualifying at Las Vegas. Zilisch beat out Sheldon Creed to lead the session and set the pace heading into qualifying. The JR Motorsports driver looks like a good bet to challenge for the win Saturday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
