Zilisch has nine wins in his rookie Xfinity season already, and many expect him to carry the form to Cup in 2026. Burnett, his crew chief next year, insists Zilisch has a lot to learn. "The races are longer, the cars race a little differently than what he’s used to, and the talent level here is incredible," Burnett said.
