Connor Zilisch wins Martinsville pole award, full Xfinity Series starting lineup revealed

For the third time in his young career and first time on an oval, Connor Zilisch is on the pole for the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Not bad for a road course racer, huh? Zilisch put his JR Motorsports No. 88 on the front at historic Martinsville Speedway.

Carson Kvapil, Connor Zilisch’s teammate will join him on the outside of the front row. They will be just ahead of the two Richard Childress Racing drivers. Austin Hill and Jesse Love will be stalking the two JRM rookies to start this race on Saturday.

How quickly Zilisch has developed his talents on ovals is amazing. He didn’t have a single top-10 in five Truck Series oval starts. In the Xfinity Series, he has already had three top-10 finishes in just 10 races on ovals.

Kvapil almost won this Martinsville race in his debut last season. Are we going to get a repeat of COTA between the two teammates?

This is a developing story…
