Connor Zilisch is on the pole for Saturday’s Focused Health 250 NASCAR Xfinity Series race at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.
Zilisch led Friday’s practice by a half-second over second place Jesse Love, then had the fastest lap in qualifying by two-tenths of a second.
Without Shane van Gisbergen or AJ Allmendinger in the field full-time, this season’s Xfinity Series road course slate should include a more balanced field — or a chance for Zilisch to pile on the playoff points with dominating performances like last season’s win at Watkins Glen.
Here’s the full starting lineup for Saturday’s Xfinity Series race:
