Zilisch took up the role of Ross Chastain's spotter during the Practice on Friday, as the Trackhouse Racing driver's usual spotter, Brandon McReynolds, could not make it on time due to the team's travel issues.

As a result, Zilisch, who is not new to spotting after doing it in Chicago last year, filled in as his Trackhouse Racing senior, Chastain's spotter. Sharing an image of Zilisch, renowned NASCAR journalist, Steven Taranto shared a post on X, in which he wrote:

"Connor Zilisch is filling in as Ross Chastain's spotter during this practice session. Chastain's usual spotter Brandon McReynolds was among the Trackhouse Racing employees affected by the team's travel issues. Broadcast said it was the Zilisch has ever spotted, but he did do some spotting in Chicago a year ago."

It was something that Caruth found of great interest. Quote-tweeting the post, the NASCAR Truck Series driver asked Zilisch if the latter was interested in the "spotter pack" on iRacing. Responding to it, the NASCAR Xfinity Series driver wrote:

"You wouldn't want that."

Here's the reply of Connor Zilisch to Rajah Caruth on X:
