Connor Zilisch won't seek out a conversation with Corey Day after COTA wreck

Contact with Corey Day in the closing laps of Saturday's NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race at Circuit of the Americas relegated polesitter Connor Zilisch to a 21st-place finish on Saturday. But don't expect, Zilisch, who called Day a "hack" over the radio, to seek out Day's company anytime soon. 

"If he wants to talk to me, he can come talk to me," Zilisch said post-race, per Jeff Gluck of The Athletic. "I'm not going to go find him and tell him he's an idiot. He can tell himself that."

It's the second week in a row that Day, a 20-year-old NOAPS rookie driver, was the center of attention in the NOAPS race for the wrong reasons. Contact between Day and other drivers resulted in two crashes at Atlanta on Feb. 21. 

"When you're racing at this high of a level, you gotta clean it up," Zilisch said. "I'm sure he'll figure it out. He's talented. He certainly has done multiple things weeks in a row that people are getting mad about."
