2026 Top Finishing Driver Per Race: TrackHouse Racing

The 2026 season has been majorly disappointing for the TrackHouse crew. For Shane van Gisbergen, it has shown major growth as an oval racer, with multiple top-10 finishes and leader-of-the-bunch finishes as well. Ross Chastain just hasn’t looked the same either. The perennial winner is winless for the first time since 2022. Rookie phenom Connor Zilisch has improved since the start of the season, but … Continue reading 2026 Top Finishing Driver Per Race: TrackHouse Racing

Zilisch and his Miserable Rookie Campaign Continues at Chicagoland with 7th DNF

Following his first career Top 10 Cup finish at Sonoma last weekend, Connor Zilisch came into Chicagoland with some momentum. Unfortunately, the momentum just didn’t last. On lap one of Sunday’s Chicagoland race, contact from the outside caused the 60 car of Ryan Preece to spin out in front of Connor, forcing him to react and sending his 88 car into the inside wall down … Continue reading Zilisch and his Miserable Rookie Campaign Continues at Chicagoland with 7th DNF

NASCAR takes time; the average number of starts to a first win is 88.9.  For reference, … Continue reading Don’t Panic About Connor Zilisch, NASCAR Takes Time
