The NASCAR O’Reilly Series competed at Bristol Motor Speedway and it was a sensational event. Kyle Larson won the first two stages; however, Connor Zilisch and Brent Crews stayed out while he pitted during a late caution. So which of the three NASCAR drivers found victory lane at Bristol on Saturday night?
Zilisch and the No. 1 JR Motorsports team won the O’Reilly Series race at Bristol on Saturday night, earning their first victory of the season. The teams took the lead on the final restart on old tires, but couldn’t hold on after coming out on top. Zilisch was then able to hold off Larson in the closing laps after the No. 88 car’s error.
Larson dominated the event at Bristol, but Zilisch was able to give crew chief Rodney Childers his first NASCAR victory at JR Motorsports. It’s been a tough rookie season for Zilisch with Trackhouse Racing in the NASCAR Cup Series, but this win Saturday night helps remind him that he’s capable of winning at this level.Advertisement
