Victory Busch Light: Dale Earnhardt Jr. strolls to Victory Lane after Connor Zilisch win at Dover

No one knows how to party like Dale Earnhardt Jr. Another win for his JR Motorsports Xfinity Series team today at Dover has the Busch Lights out. Connor Zilisch wins his second race in a row and his first-ever NASCAR Xfinity race at Dover.

What a win for Connor Zilisch. This race was shortened by rain, and had 66 laps left to go. However, Zilisch had firmly taken control of the race by that point, led 77 laps total, and looked like the best driver on the track.

Four wins this season, Zilisch is showing why he’s at JR Motorsports. Yes, he’s ultimately going to end up at Trackhouse Racing, but Dale Earnhardt Jr. is enjoying his time as the team owner for the young phenom.

After the race was called, Dale Jr. was spotted on The CW broadcast. It was like he spawned on pit road with two Busch Lights in his hands. This screenshot from Steven Taranto of CBS Sports captured the moment.

I mean, this is a hilarious image. Dale Jr. is more or less a beer Santa, spawning wherever celebrations are to hand out cold ones to those around. While the cans look like Busch Light, I’d be shocked if he wasn’t drinking some kind of Budweiser. After all, he’s still pretty tight with the beer brand.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. scores another win in 2025

JR Motorsports has won 11 of the first 20 races of the season. That is four wins for Connor Zilisch, three for Justin Allgaier, and one for Sammy Smith. Carson Kvapil is still searching for that first win in his rookie season. Then there are wins from Daniel Suárez, Shane van Gisbergen, and Kyle Larson as well.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. has an embarrassment of riches at his Xfinity Series organization. All four of his drivers are top-10 in points. Zilisch, Kvapil, and Smith are likely going to all end up in the Cup Series at some point or another. Allgaier is one of the best Xfinity drivers ever and the defending champion.

Right now, JRM can do no wrong. I fully expect Allgaier or Zilisch to win next week at Indy. Maybe Kvapil finds his speed at Indy and finds his first-career win. It is hard to tell. There is so much talent in the Xfinity Series right now. Top to bottom, fantastic drivers.

Things are going well for Dale Earnhardt Jr. Will one of his drivers claim the Xfinity Series championship for the second year in a row?
