JR Motorsports driver Connor Zilisch reveals he is taking each day as it comes in his recovery. However, he brands his back injury as "minor."

“Kyle Larson will sub for Connor Zilisch behind the wheel of the No. 88 Chevrolet this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway as Zilisch continues to recover from a lower back injury sustained last weekend at Talladega,” JR Motorsports said in a published statement on Apr. 30.

The 18-year-old rising star was close to celebrating in Victory Lane at Talladega Superspeedway, but everything changed in an instant while defending the race lead. Connor Zilisch moved down to block a charging Jesse Love and contact was made.
