Connor Zilisch, an 18-year-old phenom currently competing full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for JR Motorsports, will get the opportunity to run two more NASCAR Cup Series events in 2025.
With sponsorship from Red Bull, Zilisch will drive the No. 87 Chevrolet in events at EchoPark Speedway (formerly Atlanta Motor Speedway) and Watkins Glen International.
