The cup race in Zilisk Watkins Glenn will not be available for Sunday. After running in the truck and Xfinity series in the last two days in the road course, they were scheduled to complete their fourth cup this season for trackhouse racing and complete a tripleheader.
The scary incident capted a incident for the zilisk, which drives for the Dale Arnhard Junior’s JR Motorsports Team.
After starting from the position of the pole, the Zilisk ruined the car of team partner Shane Van Gisbergen for the lead on Lap 65. After colliding with a fifth lead on a restart, the zilisscy took the first rate and led the final four laps.
“He did such a big job of coming back and getting the lead,” Mardi Lindley, the head of the crew, told SeriusXM NASCAR Radio after the race. “Praying for Connor right now that he is fine. I think he is going to recover.”
The zilisk missed a race this season on Texas Motor Speedway after a back injury during an accident in the supersedeway. He has 11 consecutive top-five finish and five win since his return.
