## Resource

Connor Zilisch’s rookie NASCAR Cup Series season is hitting rocky terrain after another early exit at Michigan—his third straight DNF. A spin on lap nine sent him into the wall, following an earlier wall nudge on lap two. Describing the car as “really loose,” Zilisch’s struggles have translated to just three points in his last three races, leaving him near the bottom of the standings. Yet he’s staying positive, crediting sponsor WeatherTech and eyeing Pocono as his next chance to bounce back. In a brutal Cup Series, resilience is everything—and Zilisch’s focus on the next race proves he’s not ready to quit. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
