Connor Zilisch Wins Fourth Consecutive Xfinity Race, Clinches Regular-Season Title

Connor Zilisch has dominated the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series, winning nine races including four consecutive victories to clinch the regular-season championship at World Wide Technology Raceway. The 19-year-old rookie set a series record for most wins by a rookie and has achieved an impressive streak of 14 consecutive top-five finishes despite overcoming injuries. Zilisch led the field in the regular-season finale, starting from the pole and pacing most laps, while his JR Motorsports teammate Justin Allgaier, the reigning champion and veteran driver, fell behind due to a pit road speeding penalty. Zilisch's performance places him alongside NASCAR legends like Noah Gragson and Sam Ard as one of the few drivers to win four consecutive Xfinity Series races. The final playoff spots were also decided at Gateway, with Sheldon Creed, Taylor Gray, and Harrison Burton clinching positions. Zilisch is set to move up to the NASCAR Cup Series full-time in 2026, marking a rapid ascent fueled by his rookie season's exceptional success and consistency.
