Connor Zilisch, a 19-year-old driver with seven victories in NASCAR's Xfinity Series this season, is moving up to the Cup Series in 2026.

The NASCAR Xfinity Series race started late after a rain delay at Daytona International Speedway and then encountered a red flag during the first stage because of more bad weather. But once it got rolling, it delivered. Parker Kligerman sped to Victory Lane in something that sounds impossible.

Connor Zilisch is on the pole for the Wawa 250 NASCAR Xfinity Series race on Aug. 22 at Daytona International Speedway after qualifying was canceled due to weather. The Xfinity Series points leader is scheduled to be in the car 13 days after breaking his collarbone following slipping off his car while celebrating a victory at Watkins Glen.
