Connor Zilisch, a rising racing talent at 17 years old, has signed a multi-year agreement with Trackhouse Racing, the team announced Thursday.
Zilisch has extensive racing experience in Trans Am and karting and now begins the path toward stock-car racing development. As part of the agreement, Zilisch’s development program will include select CARS Tour, ARCA Menards Series, Trans Am and IMSA races as well as NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and Xfinity Series starts in 2024 and 2025, according to the press release.
“This is a dream come true,” Zilisch said in the release. “I can’t thank Justin (Marks, team founder and owner) and everyone at Trackhouse Racing enough for giving me this opportunity. It has been a pleasure to spend the last two years racing with Chevrolet and I am thrilled to extend that relationship. I have a lot to learn, but I don’t think there is a better place for me to learn than with Trackhouse Racing.”
Road courses are where Zilisch has typically shined, thanks in part to 10 years spent karting, including a European stint at just 11 years old, according to the release. That expertise at a young age propelled him to the top prize of the Mazda MX-5 Cup scholarship in 2021, winning 2022 Rookie of the Year honors along with a runner-up showing in standings before winning four races a season ago.
The Mooresville, North Carolina native made his ARCA debut at Watkins Glen International in 2023, starting second and leading 34 of 42 laps before eventual series champion Jesse Love passed Zilisch for the lead in the final corner in wet conditions.
“I have watched Connor grow from a youngster racing go-karts at the Trackhouse Motorplex to an up-close seat as he beat all of us in the Trans-Am race at VIR (Virginia International Raceway) a few months ago,” Marks said in the release. “This kid is an amazing talent who we wanted to be a part of the Trackhouse family. We are going to go slow with Connor and make sure he’s fully prepared as he advances in what we believe will be a long racing career.”
Zilisch’s season is slated to get underway on Jan. 26 with the Rolex 24 at Daytona International Speedway in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. In Trans Am action, Zilisch won five of 13 starts in TA2. The dominant performance he had at VIR against Marks and others marked Zilisch the youngest driver to win a Trans Am race in his first start in the class as well as the first to win races in two different classes in the same weekend.
Additionally, Zilisch was victorious in the CARS Pro Late Model Tour race at Ace Speedway back in May while driving for Rackley W.A.R. Racing. Marks, along with former NASCAR Cup Series stars Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Burton and Kevin Harvick, co-owns the CARS Tour.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Jan. 11, 2024) —The eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series will see significant changes to both its 18-event schedule and race formats for 2024, NASCAR and iRacing announced today.
With new tracks, new race formats for short tracks and road courses and regular season stages with cash and points bonuses, the new campaign is set to be one of the most unique and innovative in series history. Races will also start an hour earlier than previous seasons, going green at 8 p.m. ET.
“The eNASCAR Coca-Cola Series has been at the forefront of sim racing innovation for the past 15 years. With NASCAR and iRacing’s continued dedication, we’re injecting fresh excitement and innovation into the series,” said Ray Smith, NASCAR director of gaming and esports. “The 2024 schedule updates, new race formats and improved league infrastructure demonstrate our unwavering commitment to offering the pinnacle of sim racing experiences.”
The 2024 campaign will be broken up into three distinct regular season stages, followed by the traditional four-race playoffs. The top point scorer in each regular season stage will receive a $3,000 bonus and five additional bonus points for the playoffs. As in past seasons, 10 drivers qualify for the playoffs by either winning a race or scoring the most points in the regular season, and four of those drivers will qualify for a shot at the championship in the season finale.
While Stage 1 of the regular season starts with the traditional opener at Daytona International Speedway, the other two stages will kick off with the series debuts of Brands Hatch Circuit and Iowa Speedway in April and June, respectively.
Road-course races like Brands Hatch will feature a new sprint and feature race format, while short tracks like Iowa will start with a pair of heat races to set the grid for the feature. The preseason Clash on Jan. 30 will implement the heat formula, too, as it returns to Daytona for the first time since 2021.
The playoffs will kick off Aug. 13 at Michigan International Speedway, followed by visits to Texas Motor Speedway and Phoenix Raceway to set the Championship 4 for the Oct. 1 series finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Other highlights include the return of fixed setup races to the schedule for 2024, with Atlanta Motor Speedway on March 12, Talladega Superspeedway on April 30, and the Chicago Street Course on July 2 serving as the three selections. In these three races, all drivers will run the same vehicle setup, placing a premium on driver skill and adaptability to an equal playing field. Darlington Raceway will serve as the annual Throwback race once again on May 28.
“The 2024 eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series calendar will be one of the most innovative seasons in series history,” said iRacing President Tony Gardner. “We’ve introduced new tracks, race formats, regular season bonuses and much more to breathe fresh air into our longest-tenured professional esports series. These changes, along with many new faces coming in, should inject some fresh excitement into what has already been a terrific series for more than a decade. We can’t wait to drop the green flag on the new season!”

Legacy Motor Club announced Thursday morning a multi-year agreement with Dollar Tree, Inc. for all three of its NASCAR Cup Series entries.
Dollar Tree and Family Dollar will be on track in all 38 races of the 2024 NASCAR season, seeing select races with full-time competitors in No. 42 driver John Hunter Nemechek and No. 43 driver Erik Jones. Both brands will also adorn the No. 84 Toyota Camry XSE of NASCAR Hall of Famer Jimmie Johnson at Dover Motor Speedway (April 28), Kansas Speedway (Sept. 29) and Las Vegas Motor Speedway (Oct. 20). The sponsorship spans both of the marquee brands, creating significant visibility with customers and associates in the company’s 16,000-plus stores.
“What an exciting time for Legacy M.C. to team up with Dollar Tree and Family Dollar,” said Johnson in a team release. “We look forward to creating extensive visibility for these two iconic and beloved brands where we have so many fans in common.”
Both Dollar Tree and Family Dollar will be present on the team’s cars for the preseason The Clash at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Feb. 4.
“We are thrilled to sponsor Legacy Motor Club and spotlight our brands to fans of the exhilarating and high-octane sport of NASCAR,” said Rick McNeely, chief merchandising officer for Dollar Tree. “Watching Dollar Tree and Family Dollar take off into one of the most-watched sports in the country is a great start to the year.”
Family Dollar’s Chief Merchandising Officer Larry Gatta added, “We have an incredible opportunity to reach our existing customers, and with this sponsorship an even greater platform to attract new shoppers to Dollar Tree and Family Dollar — which is exciting for our vendor partners and associates.”
Chili Bowl results are rolling in on a nightly basis now that the 2024 edition of the Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma are underway.
The Chili Bowl preliminary night action began Monday and runs through Friday before Saturday’s championship day, complete with the annual alphabet soup and the title-awarding A-Main. Chili Bowl results throughout the week will set the stage for Saturday’s marathon of midget car racing.
Each preliminary night at the Chili Bowl features heat races, qualifiers, C-Features, B-Features and an A-Feature.
As for the Saturday night main event, the top two finishers in each preliminary night A-Feature lock into the big race. The lineup for the top 10 cars in the A-Feature will be determined through the Chili Bowl Pole Dash. The five A-Feature winners will draw 1-5, followed by the five drivers who finished second drawing 6-10 to seed the Pole Dash.
Seven drivers will advance from each B main to the A for a total of 24 cars with provisionals set aside for the defending Chili Bowl champion and previous year’s Race of Champions winner should he or she not transfer.
Below are the complete 2024 Chili Bowl results from the SageNet Center in Tulsa.
LOS ANGELES (Jan. 10, 2023) – NASCAR announced today that world-renowned stand-up comedian, actor, and producer Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias will serve as the Grand Marshal for the NASCAR Mexico Seres’ inaugural King Taco La Batalla en El Coliseo on Sunday, Feb. 4, the precursor to NASCAR’s third-annual Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum. His command will follow the performance of the Mexican national anthem by Mariachi Rams, the first Mariachi band of an NFL team with the Los Angeles Rams.
“Who better to kickstart this historic event than an amazing comic like Gabriel Iglesias,” said Ben Kennedy, NASCAR’s Senior Vice President, Racing Development and Strategy. “With his illustrious TV and stand-up catalog combined with his Southern California upbringing and Mexican heritage, we couldn’t be more excited to have Gabriel give the command to start engines to begin a day of racing at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.”
Raised in Long Beach, Calif., Iglesias has become one of the most successful stand-up comedians in the world. He recently became the second-highest grossing touring comedian and is one of the most watched comedians on YouTube with over 1.1 billion views and over 25 million fans on social media. Iglesias’ other distinct honors consist of being included in the Hollywood Reporter’s “Top 40 Comedy Players” issue, serving on the cover of Variety’s comedy issue, and being one of the few comics to ever headline and sell-out Madison Square Garden in New York, Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles and The Sydney Opera House in Australia. He was also to first comedian to perform at and sell out Dodger Stadium in 2022 to a crowd of 55,000 people. Iglesias is currently on his world “Don’t Worry, Be Fluffy Comedy Tour” and will perform a special Valentine’s Day show on Feb. 14 at the Kia Forum.
On TV, Iglesias is the star and executive producer of the Netflix original comedy series, Mr. Iglesias, which is currently streaming three seasons. He also costars Tim Allen and Eric Stonestreet in The Santa Clauses, which premiered last fall.
Iglesias is no stranger to the world of NASCAR. He’s attended several races in the past, including bringing his series “Fluffy Breaks Even” to the Daytona 500, serving as the honorary pace car driver at Sonoma Raceway, and frequently catching races at California Speedway. Now, he gets the opportunity to give the first command to “start your engines!” for the 2024 NASCAR season at the Coliseum.
On Sunday, Feb. 4, racing begins on the Coliseum’s temporary, quarter-mile asphalt track at 1:30 p.m. PT with the NASCAR Mexico Series’ King Taco La Batalla en El Coliseo followed by the NASCAR Cup Series’ Busch Light Clash at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET.
The third-annual Busch Light Clash is the NASCAR Cup Series’ season-opening exhibition featuring the sport’s top stars. NASCAR on FOX will once again carry the broadcast for the Busch Light Clash while the NASCAR Mexico Series Race will be on FS1, Fox Deportes, Fox Sports 3 in Mexico, and available regionally on Claro Sports and the D Motors channel on DirecTV.
A single ticket purchased is good for both races, and fans are encouraged to get their tickets now while supplies last by visiting www.nascarclash.com.
Defending Daytona 500 champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has joined fellow NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Larson as a surprise entrant for the 2024 Chili Bowl Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Stenhouse announced Wednesday that he will race inside the SageNet Center for the first time since 2022. The driver of the No. 47 JTG-Daugherty Racing Chevrolet in the NASCAR Cup Series will compete in Friday’s preliminary night on the quarter-mile dirt oval known as Tulsa Expo Raceway as he looks to qualify for the championship feature on Saturday.
It all happened thanks to a text message exchange between Larson and Stenhouse. Larson told him to reach out to team owner Keith Kunz, whom Larson will drive for Thursday. After that, everything fell into place for Stenhouse to drive the Keith Kunz Motorsports-Curb-Agajanian/NOS Energy No. 71R.

“I was texting with [Kyle] Larson, telling him, the same time you were trying to get your deal together, I was trying to get a deal together, and he said to call Keith [Kunz], which I’ve run for him one other time at the Chili Bowl, and I didn’t really perform the way I wanted to, so I wasn’t sure if he would let me back in one of his cars, but I shot him a text, and he said, let me get on that, so here we are,” Stenhouse explained. “Obviously, Keith has the best cars out there, and they show every night, so I’m looking forward to getting back in a Midget at the Expo to see what we can do.”
Stenhouse has competed at the Chili Bowl Nationals 16 times in the last 20 years, making the championship feature eight times. His best performance came in 2021, when he finished seventh in the Saturday night finale.
“Really looking forward to getting back to Chili Bowl,” Stenhouse said. “Obviously, took last year off and I missed it. I was sitting on the couch watching this week, and my wife looked at me and said, I can tell you really want to go; just go.”
All 2024 Chili Bowl racing action, including Stenhouse’s preliminary night on Friday, can be seen live on FloRacing, the streaming home of all NASCAR Roots racing.
EDITOR’S NOTE: This article initially ran on Jan. 10, 2024. It has been updated in advance of Sunday’s debut of the short-track rules package at Phoenix Raceway (3:30 p.m. ET, FOX, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
NASCAR officials announced in January updates to the NASCAR Cup Series rules package for short tracks and road courses in 2024, introducing aerodynamic changes designed to promote more competitive racing on those track types.
The changes — announced in a technical bulletin to Cup Series teams — are set to go into effect for the circuit’s first points-paying short-track race of the season Sunday at Phoenix Raceway (3:30 p.m. ET, FOX, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). The 1-mile Arizona track was the site of a two-day test session in December, when six teams tried out the rules configuration’s components and provided positive feedback about the results.
The key new component for short tracks and road courses is a simplified rear diffuser with fewer vertical strakes. The configuration will cut downforce up front by keeping the engine panel strake-free and retaining the splitter stuffers from last year’s package. To compensate for the reduced downforce, competition officials have introduced a slightly taller rear spoiler, up from two to three inches in height with the same length across the rear deck.
Dr. Eric Jacuzzi, NASCAR vice president of vehicle performance, thanked the six drivers who participated in the Dec. 5-6 test for helping competition officials formulate the new package. Jacuzzi also said the Phoenix test marked an improvement over another two-day session at Richmond Raceway last summer, when an experimental splitter produced too much of a reduction in downforce and stability.
That test, Jacuzzi said, helped competition officials learn those aerodynamic boundaries and find the right balance at Phoenix.
“One of the things going into the Phoenix test, we said, ‘let’s do a simplified diffuser,'” Jacuzzi told NASCAR.com. “‘Let’s see what it does when we put it in traffic,’ and what we actually found was it appeared to be an improvement. Then another interesting effect was that it did not lose rear downforce when it yawed, which is an issue we fight with the current car. So we felt that the car, the drivers would be able to slide around more on the short tracks and really have to be less careful about putting power down.
“We felt that would be a benefit, and that was the big takeaway from the driver feedback. At the test, they felt they could really tell that it was more forgiving. They felt they could slide the car, not crazy but certainly much more than they regularly could without having a performance penalty.”
Implementation of the new aerodynamic changes is coming after a pair of additional tests — one in the wind tunnel Feb. 13 to ensure aero parity across the three manufacturers and another Feb. 20 back at Phoenix to collect data with wheelforce-equipped vehicles. The initial availability of parts for the teams was expected in early February, and Jacuzzi said the new simplified diffuser would signal a cost-savings for the teams.
Another critical portion of December’s test at Phoenix concerned the tires. Jacuzzi said Goodyear officials have worked closely with NASCAR’s competition counterparts to achieve the right combination of wear and performance for the race-ready rubber this season.
“Goodyear, I thought, did a really good job at the tests,” Jacuzzi said. “We had asked them — and the drivers did as well — to be extremely aggressive in bringing compounds and options, and they did do that. I think the one key thing that we’ve seen at Phoenix and at other locations is increasing the tread gauge, so actually making the tread of the tire a little thicker. … But adding that thickness, it seems to be every time we’ve done it has been very favorable from the driver standpoint, and Goodyear believes that added thickness will help contribute to tire fall-off.
“So that’s really a good learning out of there. I think we really proved out that we could continue to work on making the compounds we have softer, to where they have more grip initially, but then fall off more significantly. So I think that’s a big positive from the Goodyear side that came out of the test.”
The new aerodynamic configuration was not used for the Busch Light Clash at The Coliseum on Feb. 4 in Los Angeles. Bristol Motor Speedway and Dover Motor Speedway — two fast, high-banked concrete tracks measuring 0.533-mile and 1 mile respectively — are not currently slated to use the new aero configuration, pending evaluation of how it performs at Phoenix, Richmond (0.75-mile) and Martinsville Speedway (0.526-mile) in the first quarter of the Cup Series season.
Jacuzzi said no changes to the gearbox to eliminate shifting with the short-track package are anticipated this season, though he added that “there’s work ongoing on what can be done there and what will be beneficial to the racing.”
Netflix, NASCAR Studios, and the production studio Words + Pictures announced Wednesday the release date of Netflix’s newest sports docuseries, NASCAR: Full Speed, which revolves around the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series playoffs.
The show — set to premiere Jan. 30 — follows the 16 playoff drivers as they all fight for the NASCAR Cup Series championship, both on and off the track. The show will be comprised of five 45-minute episodes featuring exclusive access to the drivers and teams.
Headlined by drivers such as Ryan Blaney, Denny Hamlin, William Byron, Ross Chastain and Tyler Reddick, the show will bring fans behind the scenes, exploring the physical and emotional challenges of competing for a championship at the top level of stock car racing.
“NASCAR has kicked down the door to an entirely new era recently — with new tracks, cars, team owners, and stars combining to deliver some of the best competition the sport has ever seen,” NASCAR Senior Vice President and Chief Digital Officer Tim Clark said. “Now is the perfect time to introduce people to the characters, competition and chaos that make NASCAR so compelling while still giving our most passionate fans plenty of new insights into their favorite teams and drivers.”
Helping to steer things for the docuseries is NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr., one of the program’s executive producers, himself a former NASCAR Playoffs competitor.
“The intensity of the elimination format in the NASCAR Playoffs is unlike anything else in motorsports,” Earnhardt Jr. told PEOPLE.
Connor Schell, executive producer and CEO of Words + Pictures, added that the “playoffs provide the perfect dramatic backdrop to tell a story filled with tons of tension and unforgettable characters. … After spending the last several months embedded with these drivers on and off the track … (he) can’t wait to bring both core and casual fans deep inside this incredible world.”
Three-time NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion Justin Bonsignore has raced at all kinds of tracks during his near two-decade career.
Daytona International Speedway could not be further from the bullrings to which Bonsignore has grown accustomed in the northeast, but he is set to turn his first laps around the iconic facility this weekend during the ARCA Menards Series’ annual pre-race practice.
Bonsignore was selected as the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour representative of ARCA’s Road to Daytona program, which provides short-track competitors a chance to gain experience at the 2.5-mile oval. Despite the unknowns, Bonsignore is excited about driving a full-bodied stock car around one of the most famous tracks in the United States.
“This is all kind of new to me,” Bonsignore said. “I’m trying to process it all, but this is a cool opportunity NASCAR and ARCA have come up with during the past few years. It’s going to be a cool experience to make some laps around Daytona.”

While he initially aspired to advance through the developmental ladder, Bonsignore quickly found a home with the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour at the start of the 2010s. That passion has translated into a stellar career; Bonsignore ranks fourth on the series’ all-time wins list with 40 victories alongside his three titles.
The idea of partaking in a practice run at Daytona was something Bonsignore never considered until he received an invite for the ARCA pre-race practice.
Bonsignore considered the invitation a pleasant surprise, but he admitted he does not have much data to rely upon since only a handful of competitors within the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour have Daytona experience.
One driver Bonsignore did speak with ahead of the ARCA pre-race practice was 2022 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion Jon McKennedy, who participated in last year’s Road to Daytona program. The main piece of advice McKennedy provided Bonsignore was to stay true to key Modified principles such as being smooth and holding the wheel steady.
Bonsignore also plans to reach out to 2013 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion and current NASCAR Cup Series driver Ryan Preece for any recommendations on how to get the most out of his maiden trip to Daytona, which he hopes includes plenty of time drafting with other drivers.
Drafting is not a foreign concept to Bonsignore, but he is anticipating a much different environment compared to a Modified with at least a half-dozen cars running full throttle around Daytona.
“I want to have a good experience and hopefully make as many laps as I can,” Bonsignore said. “Hopefully I’ll get approved to run some laps in the draft and experience what that’s like. We do experience something similar to that at Loudon with the Modifieds, so we’re looking to see what it’s all about and have a better understanding of what the drivers are going through.”

Fortunately for Bonsignore, the Road to Daytona program provides a sturdy foundation for its drivers through the cars supplied by Fast Track Racing owner Andy Hillenburg. Daytona was kind to Hillenburg during his time in ARCA, as he scored two of his three career victories at the track in 1995 and 1997.
Hillenburg’s leadership and equipment have been pivotal in helping several drivers understand the fundamentals of finding success at drafting tracks. Among the notable names who have gone through the Road to Daytona program include current NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver Ty Majeski and defending ARCA Daytona winner Greg Van Alst.
Having seen what Hillenburg has done with other drivers who have extensive short-track backgrounds, Bonsignore is optimistic he and his six other Road to Daytona teammates are in for a solid two days of learning about how an ARCA car functions in both single-car and group runs.
Although there are currently no plans for Bonsignore to make a return trip to Daytona in February for the ARCA season-opener, he did not rule out the possibility of making his series debut that weekend if all the necessary circumstances come together.
“[Racing at Daytona] is something I’d have to work on funding for,” Bonsignore said. “We’ll see how this test goes, but if somebody comes back to us for an available car for the ARCA race and if I enjoy myself, which I’m sure I will, maybe we’ll try to put together some sponsorship. It’s a short turnaround, but we want to see how test unfolds, and then we’ll go from there.”
Even if his Daytona track time in 2024 is confined to just the ARCA pre-race practice, Bonsignore plans to cherish every moment alongside his father Tom and car owner Ken Massa, who has overseen all three of Bonsignore’s NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour championships to date.
Not many Modified competitors have been in Bonsignore’s position, which is why he plans to proudly represent the discipline inside the ARCA garage area and build some early momentum before starting his pursuit of a fourth title.
“I have to thank NASCAR, ARCA and Ron Drager for what they have put together with this opportunity for the Modified guys.” Bonsignore said. “It’s really cool and not something that happens too often for us, so I’m real appreciative of that and Andy Hillenburg’s team for being a part of this.
“We’re looking forward to having some fun and taking it all in while we’re down there.”
The ARCA Menards Series pre-race practice officially commences for Bonsignore and more than 70 other drivers on Friday morning at 10 a.m. ET. There will be one continuous session for both Friday and Saturday, with each ending at 5 p.m. ET.
