Connor Zilisch, who suffered a hard impact on the final lap of last Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series Ag-Pro 300 at Talladega Superspeedway, will not compete in this weekend’s Andy’s Frozen Custard 300 at Texas Motor Speedway.

According to a statement released by his JR Motorsports team on Wednesday, “Zilisch continues to recover from a lower back injury sustained last weekend at Talladega.”

Kyle Larson will compete in the No. 88 JR Motorsports Chevrolet in place of the recovering 18-year-old Zilisch in this weekend’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race.

Judge Denies LEGACY MOTOR CLUB Motion for Preliminary Injunction in Case Against Rick Ware Racing

On Wednesday, a North Carolina judge officially denied LEGACY MOTOR CLUB’s motion for a preliminary injunction against Rick Ware Racing. The motion is tied to a lawsuit between the two teams in regard to a sale agreement for one of Rick Ware Racing’s NASCAR Cup Series Team Charters.

Wednesday’s ruling will now allow Rick Ware Racing to lease or sell the Charter in question despite the lawsuit playing out in the background.

A temporary restraining order granted to LEGACY MOTOR CLUB on April 9, forced Rick Ware Racing to make no moves with the Charter in the alleged sale agreement with LMC until the ruling was made in the motion for Preliminary Injunction.
