JR Motorsports will try to remain unbeaten on road and street courses this season as the Xfinity Series races Saturday at Watkins Glen International.
The team has four victories with three drivers on road and street courses this year: Connor Zilisch (Circuit of the Americas, Sonoma), Daniel Suarez (Mexico City) and Shane van Gisbergen (Chicago).
Zilisch and van Gisbergen will be in JRM Chevrolets at Watkins Glen, along with Sammy Smith, Justin Allgaier and Carson Kvapil.
In addition to SVG, Cup Series full-time drivers Michael McDowell and Riley Herbst also are racing in the Xfinity Series at Watkins Glen.
Here’s which Cup drivers also will compete in the Xfinity or Truck race at Watkins Glen
Multiple Cup drivers will do double duty this weekend at Watkins Glen International.
Zilisch is the defending Xfinity winner at Watkins Glen and also is racing the Truck and Cup series at the track this weekend. He leads the Xfinity Series with five wins and four pole positions in 2025.
Watkins Glen is the fifth of seven road or street courses this season in the Xfinity Series, which will head to Portland International Raceway in three weeks and to the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval in October.
With Sam Mayer's win at Iowa Speedway having clinched a berth, there are four slots left in the Xfinity playoffs with four races remaining in the regular season.
