Connor Zilisch scored the race win in his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut in Saturday’s Mission 200 at The Glen at Watkins Glen International. Zilisch, who had saved his fuel like a cagey veteran, found himself in the lead on the final lap of the race, when a caution would freeze the field.
Zilisch would be able to make it to the finish line in his No. 88 JR Motorsports Chevrolet to win over Sheldon Creed, who finished second — again.
Here are the complete race results from the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series Mission 200 at The Glen at Watkins Glen International.
