SVG and Connor Zilisch both pulling triple-duty at NASCAR Watkins Glen

Those of us who have exulted in Shane van Gisbergen running the table at NASCAR road courses at all levels have experienced a bit of a down year so far in 2026 as Trackhouse struggles and the SVG oval awakening continues not to materialize. Watkins Glen ought to fix that. Shane will pull his first ever triple-duty at the Glen this year, and while his Cup Series equipment might not be in peak form (not that that will matter), the Trucks and O’Reilly fields should just start and park right now. Shane will drive the #4 Niece Motorsports Chevy in the truck race and the #9 JR Motorsports Chevy in O’Reilly.

Not to be left out, though, Shane’s favorite teammate, young Connor Zilisch, will be joining Shane in the triple-header. They’ll be teammates in O’Reilly, with Connor in the 1 car, and Connor will be driving for Spire in Trucks in the #71.

Good luck, anybody else.
