Trackhouse Racing will enjoy a well-deserved moment in the sun this week after Shane van Gisbergen’s victory at Watkins Glen. But one Sunday, on a track expected to play well for the organization, does not mean the ship is on the right track going forward.“It’s been easy to see that...

Connor Zilisch felt yet another sting in a tough rookie season in the NASCAR Cup Series with a lost opportunity Sunday at Watkins Glen.

After starting from the pole, Shane van Gisbergen came from 28.2 seconds behind the field to take the lead and the race win.

Zilisch shot past Jesse Love’s No. 2 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet in Turn 7 and won a drag race to the finish line to win Saturday’s Mission 200 at the Glen.

A week after chastising himself at Texas for repeated failure to win NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series races, Kaden Honeycutt pulled off his first career victory.

Zilisch was able to hold off the dominant car of Kyle Larson, who had to settle for second place.

Connor Zilisch continues to find that no matter how hard he works, there is no escaping the toughness of the NASCAR Cup Series rookie learning curve.

Larson crossed the finish line 2.557s ahead of Chase Briscoe to become the fifth different winner in as many races.

Connor Zilisch knew what he was getting into with a ride in the NASCAR Cup Series, but the first few weeks have still been tough on the Trackhouse Racing rookie.

Connor Zilisch was on pace for what could have potentially been a career day in the NASCAR Cup Series before suddenly seeing the field drive away from him at Circuit of The Americas.
