2025 Fantasy Outlook
The 18-year-old talent is making the move to full-time Xfinity Series racing in 2025. Zilisch made some part-time forays into both the trucks and Xfinity last season and had quite a bit of success. In his four Xfinity Series starts he grabbed one win (Watkins Glen) and three Top-5 finishes. Zilisch has won at every level that he's raced and that includes sports cars. He racked up impressive wins at both Daytona (Rolex 24) and Sebring in IMSA. Zilisch is a gifted road racer but he also is getting better by the day on NASCAR ovals. He makes a tantalizing prospect in the JRM No. 88 Chevrolet in the upcoming season just on potential alone. The young driver is a head turner and should have Rookie of the Year honors in the bag.

Wins Pennzoil 250
XFINITY Series
July 26, 2025
Zilisch won the Pennzoil 250 NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Saturday afternoon.
ANALYSIS
The young JR Motorsports star would lead three times for 19 laps and battle among the Top 5 all afternoon at the Brickyard. However, it would take a late surge and pass for the lead of Taylor Gray with 2 laps to go to secure the win. Zilisch would hold off Sam Mayer over the final 2 circuits and would collect his fifth victory of the season Saturday at Indianapolis.
