JR Motorsports announced Wednesday that Connor Zilisch will pilot the No. 88 Chevrolet full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2025.
Zilisch, 18, is a Trackhouse Racing development driver and regarded as one of the top prospects in the sport.
“Connor is such an impressive driver at this young age,” co-owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. said in a statement. “We’re excited for him to get behind the wheel full time next season. He is on a path to sure success with support from Chevrolet, Silver Hare Racing, Trackhouse, and now JR Motorsports.”
Zilisch, the defending Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner, has been competing in NASCAR events on a part-time basis in 2024.

He made his CRAFTSMAN Truck Series debut at COTA back in March, driving the No. 7 Chevrolet Silverado for Spire Motorsports. Zilisch finished an impressive P4.
