Twenty-year-old racing phenom Connor Zilisch is set to inherit the iconic 48 Chevrolet at Hendrick Motorsports in 2028, stepping into the legendary seat vacated by Alex Bowman. Already a dominant force with 13 NASCAR OReilly wins—including 10 in 2025—and a victory at Watkins Glen in his debut, Zilisch brings championship pedigree and endurance racing chops from Daytona. Despite a rocky start in his first full Cup season with Trackhouse Racing, his growth is undeniable. Hendrick’s Rick Hendrick personally backs him as the perfect heir to the storied legacy, betting big on his talent and character. With Ally staying onboard as sponsor, this move signals Zilisch’s arrival as NASCAR’s next superstar.
