Following that, Zilisch will also compete in the last race of the Round of 12, the Blue Cross NC 250, on October 4, 2025. He will mark his sixth start with Spire Motorsports at the oval, road course hybrid track. However, Zilisch has no prior experience of competing at the 2.32-mile track.

Zilisch has gathered nine wins in the 2025 season so far and performed well on almost every track. Following his remarkable performance, the #88 Chevy driver is confident about making it to the Round of 8 this season.

Reflecting on that, Connor Zilisch told SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Ch. 90:

"I feel like I would have to have three really bad days to not make it to at least the round of eight. And especially with the roval in there, I feel like that's going to be a really good race for us, another road course for me. Just with how fast our cars have been lately, I feel like as long as we do our job and execute, we have the chance to go get more playoff points for the next round."

"So our goal remains the same. We're going to show up every week and try and win the race and do our best to lead laps and run up front. I feel like that's worked for us the last three or four months, so I don't see why we'd change it," he added.

Connor Zilisch currently leads the Xfinity Series points table with nine wins and an 85-point buffer above the cutoff line. Additionally, he amassed 18 top-tens, 16 top-fives, and seven pole positions in 26 starts this season.
