Connor Zilisch Making Cup Series Debut This Weekend
45 mins agoConnor Zilisch will be making his NASCAR Cup Series debut at Circuit of the Americas this weekend, as the 18-year-old will pilot the No. 87 Chevrolet for Trackhouse Racing on Sunday afternoon. Zilisch has shown speed in his Cup car all weekend, ranking third-fastest in the opening practice session on Saturday before ending up with the ninth-best 10-lap average in the final session later that day. Additionally, Zilisch had added track time, as he started from the pole and won the Xfinity Series race this weekend as well. On the Cup side, the youngster will start from 14th in Sunday's EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix, which gives him decent Place Differential upside. However, at $8,700 on DraftKings, it's a bit risky rolling the dice on someone with no history in the series. Still, because of his talent upside, you need to have some Zilisch exposure in DFS tournaments this weekend.
