Connor Zilisch started Saturday's race from pole position, but early on, victory seemed like a long shot. A big penalty, lots of contact, and a fierce battle for the win against his teammate made sure the rookie driver had to earn the checkered flag.
"That was tough," said Zilisch, who now has two wins as a NASCAR Xfinity driver -- both at road courses. "That was way harder than I wanted it to be. I did not drive a clean race at all. Sorry to everyone that I hit. I was just kind of mentally fogged halfway through that race. Glad we were able to fight back."
