Connor ZIlisch wins NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Pocono

LONG POND, Pennsylvania — Connor Zilisch won Saturday's NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Pocono with car owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. serving as his crew chief. 

After a flurry of late restarts, Zilisch got around Jesse Love with four laps to go and drove away to earn his second win of 2025 and the third of his Xfinity Series career. It's also Zilisch's first victory that hasn't come at a road course. 

Chase Elliott and Justin Allgaier finished fourth and 10th, respectively, after they made contact in turn 1 on Lap 88. Allgaier got loose and got up into Elliott, taking both drivers out of contention for the win. 

Love, Christian Eckes, Elliott and Ryan Sieg rounded out the top five, with Carson Kvapil, Sam Mayer, Sammy Smith, Taylor Gray and Allgaier completing the top 10. 

Other notable finishers include Jeb Burton in 11th, Harrison Burton in 14th, Brandon Jones in 18th, Nick Sanchez in 28th and Austin Hill in 35th. 

Justin Bonsignore finished last after blowing an engine on Lap 7. 

Jones won Stage 1, while Zilisch won Stage 2. 

The 17th race of the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series season will take place on June 27 at EchoPark Speedway (formerly Atlanta Motor Speedway.) The Focused Health 250 will go green shortly after 7:30 p.m. ET, with coverage on the CW, PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
