After a tearful loss in the NASCAR Xfinity Series championship race, plans to place Connor Zilisch in the upcoming World Endurance Championship (WEC) rookie test at Bahrain International Circuit have been tabled.
By finishing second in the championship in the one-race finale, Zilisch does not possess the ACCUS (Automobile Competition Committee for the United States) license points needed to take part in the rookie test. He needed to win the title to reach that mark, but lost the lead to Jesse Love with 24 laps to go at Phoenix Raceway. The rookie driver had won ten races overall, including a historic summer stretch where he won seven out of eight events.
