Jesse Love nudged race leader Connor Zilisch out of the way as they exited the final turn in overtime to win Friday’s ARCA Menards Series race at Watkins Glen International.Zilisch dominated the event, leading 34 of the 42 laps, but a late-race caution for a wreck set up a wild finish as it began to rain.
Zilisch, who had a broken sway bar, quickly powered to the lead on the restart but as he entered the final turn, Love got to Zilisch’s inside, the two banged fenders and Love edged Zilisch by 0.195 seconds to take the win.The victory is Love’s eighth of the 2023 season and 10th of his career but first on a road course.
“Hats off to Connor Zilisch. I hope he doesn’t think it was dirty. It was borderline – obviously I had to do something. But I felt like he left the door open for me to do something. Connor was the class of the field tonight.Zilisch ended up as runner-up in his first series start. The 17-year-old native of Mooresville, N.C., has competed most recently in the Trans Am2 and Mazda MX-5 series.
Zilisch showed his dominance early. He started second, lost the position to Love on the start, then ran him down to reclaim the spot.
