ALTON, Va. — Rookie standout Connor Zilisch earned his third Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by BFGoodrich Tires victory of the season in Sunday’s race at VIRginia International Raceway. Much like Saturday’s race, Zilisch and Wagner were nose-to-tail lap after lap, trading the lead as they attempted to break free from the rest of the field. I’m sorry to Gresham [Wagner], but I’m just happy we were both able to keep going.”. Zilisch was determined not to repeat Saturday’s race where he came up just shy of the win. “He’s [Zilisch] somebody you want to race hard with and that you can trust to race smart,” Wagner said. “We both trust each other on the track,” Zilisch agreed. “I think that’s why we are able to race together so well and make it work.
