Zilisch recently turned 18 — the minimum age to be licensed to drive in the Xfinity Series, which is NASCAR’s version of Triple-A baseball.

Zilisch’s win comes in a year where he has been on the winning LMP2 team at the Rolex 24 at Daytona and the IMSA race at Sebring, won his first four ARCA races and won the pole in his Truck debut at Circuit of the Americas. Already, Zilisch has gained fans in several Cup drivers.
